Gardens of Telegraph Hill Down
September 28, 2005
acrylic on canvas, 30" x 40" (sold)

Part of the Gardens of Telegraph Hill diptych.

This is the view from the top of the Filbert Steps, which is known for its community gardens. I've include the mail-carrier in the painting, who, (as is also noted in Mundane Journeys) seems to have both the best and worst route in San Francisco.

The sides of these two canvases are collaged with excerpts from the book, "San Francisco's Telegraph Hill," which provides histories of individual houses through many (often unintentionly) humorous anecdotes.

Wheel (detail of The Beast)
February 15, 2000
acrylic on rowing machine (sold)

This is just the wheel of The Beast (link here to see more pictures of The Beast on the old site) a working rowing machine that doubles as a piece of art.

I did this as a commission for someone who competes in indoor rowing races.

Do you have any machine that would look better with a paint job?
