Art In Life And Spirit In Art
What a cool place Pier 23 Cafe is! Pier 23 Cafe is family owned and has been operating for the last 25 years. If you are going to be in San Francisco during the 34th America’s World Cup in 2013, you will find it a perfect spot, which will be right next door to Pier [...]
It was an overcast day like so many days in San Francisco, creating a melancholy backdrop for this scene. On one of the side streets of downtown Chinatown, I noticed a man playing an instrument I had never seen before. I wondered, how did he arrive in this country and did he at one time [...]
It was so great to see my granddaughter Camden this weekend. I hadn’t seen her for quite a while and missed her a lot, she is going to be six soon and growing up to be such a big girl. I love that she loves nature so, and is quite adventurous. She had no fear [...]
Hop on the bus for the “Magical Mystery Tour”. This is my sixth painting for the #paint52 challenge and also another addition to my San Francisco series. The painting measures 18″ X 24″ and the medium is Atelier Interactive Acrylic. It’s great that I can accomplish two goals at the same time, one to paint [...]

My fourth painting for my #paint52 Challenge, measures 24″ X 24″, acrylic on canvas, also a part of my San Francisco series. I love to people watch and could sit on a bench and watch people for hours. I find everyone so interesting. Everyone has their own story and can imagine what this lady’s is, [...]
It’s just a painting Janet, not WORLD PEACE! Well maybe it was war, between the canvas and me. This one took quite a bit of time. “Turnabout” measures 24″ X 30″, oil on canvas, third painting of my #paint52 Challenge, that you can follow on Twitter. It is also another addition to my San Francisco [...]
I have been so fortunate to meet so many great and innovative people, through use of the iPad. Don Lee from Nomad Brush had interviewed me and my thoughts about the iPad and tools. I am looking forward to meeting Don Lee at Macworld January 28th. Today, we interview an award-winning artist, Janet Vanderhoof. Janet [...]
This is my second painting for my Challenge #paint52. I used Atelier Interactive Acrylic Paint. It is supposed to be similar to oil, drying time is still faster than oil, but it does give you a grace period to work color into color. Spraying the unblocking formula directly on the pallet and the canvas brings [...]
This is my first painting of my #paint52 series. It has been quite awhile since I have painted. I have been drawing quite a bit, especially with the iPad, but I found that I needed to push myself to paint more. As usual I wanted everything to be perfect. I had a drawing ready to [...]
