New Painting Start, Blue Iris



Blue Iris, 40" x 30". Oil on canvas.

SAN FRANCISCO FINE ART FAIR EVENT!

By car, BART, and the #30 bus, and by foot, we arrived at Fort Mason Hostel, and the San Francisco Fine Art Fair.

I highly recommend the Hostel at Fort Mason. LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!

Fort Mason! View of the city skyline, Alcaltraz Island, Golden Gate Bridge, the Community Gardens of Fort Mason, and next to the pier where the Art Fair was held.


Alcaltraz Island from  Fort Mason.



We met the most interesting people, "hello to Roy from Norway; Naomi from Austraila;  David, China Town Shop owner and scholar; Harlan, artist from Middletown, Ca.; and Stefano from the Venice Biennale (La Biennale de Venezia!)"



Kayleigh spotted the art of Koen Vanmechelen, four painting from his Cosmopolitan Chichen Project. http://www.connercontemporary.com/exhibitions/koen-vanmechelen-cosmopolitan-chicken-project-dc/ at the Venice Biennale booth.



We went to the Tin How Temple at Waverly Place, and Chinatown's (CHSA) Museum, and we were in the city less than 48 hours!
