from our studios

After a summer of commissions I am back to my own work. Above are three works in progress, and if you'd like to see more, I will be posting new paintings from start to finish on Instagram and Facebook.

And below is a peak into my husband Kai's studio! He is currently having a show of small work at the Cold Press in England through the end of September. I really love the new direction his work is headed, and the ones below don't even include his newest work, and my favorite which he still needs to photograph! You can see more of his works in progress on his blog and Facebook.

The Beginning

The Decision

The Dreamer II

 I love Kai's new work and the textures, colors, and motion of these figures. He has large prints available in his shop.

kai's new website

Kai redid his website, and added a bunch of new paintings. It looks fantastic! I still haven't managed to find the time to put anything on my website, so I'm extra proud/jealous of my husband. You can see it here.

oh, and kai is having a show this weekend!

Kai is (finally) adding new work to his shop!

open studios!!!!

I know this is terribly late in the game, but better late than never, right?!  Kai and I are having open studios this weekend and next! If you happen to be in the area...or want to make a long journey (we have wine and snacks, and you can hang out on our patio over looking the Russian River and Pacific Ocean)...come on over!! We both have a lot of new work, plus work from the past couple years on sale!

Feel free to email if you have any questions: tastesorangey@gmail.com

Below is the deck/patio as of 11am...I think the fog is going to burn off in a couple hours!

sunny days and kai's paintings

 Friday was a beautiful, sunny day. It felt so much like summer we took the day off and went on another unsuccessful fishing trip (we caught my finger, and some licheny stuff) on the warm waters of Lake Sonoma. Our first day of leisure in about two months, since we started working seven day weeks.

I really don't mind working every day, not only do I get lots of things done, but it helps me deal with my psychological need to constantly work. Relaxing can be kind of stressful. Does that mean I have a problem? :)

The previous weekend Kai had his show in Forestville. It was a very fun opening with a good attendance, and he's already sold two paintings. Above is my favorite wall of the gallery. Those paintings span something like fifteen feet...maybe more. You can see more images of his show and recent work here.

kai's april show(s)

Kai's solo show is opening tomorrow from 4-6 if you happen to be in the Forestville, CA area.  You can see a few pieces and find the gallery address here.

Also, for anyone in Paris, Kai has a couple paintings going into a group show April 24th at this new gallery.

Have a happy weekend.

Kai's new prints

Kai is finally adding prints of his new paintings to his Etsy shop. I think he is in the midst of listing them right now.  I love this one!

Landscapes

Kai just finished these two beautiful, and giant landscapes, (prints are available in his Etsy shop).

We could be friends!

A detail of Kai's new painting which is almost finished. I love this one so much, I secretly hope it doesn't sell for a while so we can hang it up, and I can stare at it a while longer.

Kai's new painting and it's process. You can see more on his blog.
