I’ve started looking through my reference photos from our recent trip to Mexico, and found lots of sunset photos.  They were really spectacular.  It’s been a while since I’ve focused on this popular subject, so here goes.  Enjoy!

There’s an area of Golden Gate Park called “The Chain of Lakes” that I’ve painted before.  There are a couple of trees there (I still don’t know what variety, although they look like a conifer of some kind) that turn this wonderful combination of red, orange, and bright green in Fall. It’s like the tree is living in both Fall and Spring at the same time.

So, here’s another take on this seen.  Enjoy!

This latest painting is included.

It was painted from a reference photo I took at Telluride, Colorado.  The funicular in the valley floor takes skiers in Winter to the top of a local mountain. In summer, it’s a great place to visit.  I was there last year as part of Telluride Plein Air.  The photo was taken in late, late afternoon. I love the light during this time!

No art, today: after almost 20 years together, Mike and I decided to make it official.  Surrounded by friends and family (and CBS News, yikes!) we were married in a civil ceremony at San Francisco City Hall, where the same-sex marriage in California began.

Ed & Mike, Wedding Day, San Francisco City Hall

I hope you’ll join us in opposing Proposition 8, the California ballot measure that would deny marriage rights to same-sex couples.  We were interviewed by CBS News after (and they filmed the ceremony), so who knows, we could become the “Joe the Plumber” of same-sex married couples!
You’ll find our online wedding album here.  Enjoy!
