“I paint from remembered landscapes that I carry with me… and remembered feelings of them, which of course become transformed. I could certainly never mirror nature. I would like more to paint what it leaves with me.” -Joan Michell Same… (at Joshua Tree, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp1dYjQu8Zt/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Party people. The studio gallery AKA The One and Done, is still drying out from the all rain that made its way inside uninvited, with more on the way. Thankfully all of the art is safe and dry, only our desks and supplies took the brunt off the leaks. If you have art you bought or an artist, I will be reaching out to you to get you your work. Looking forward to a dry and leak free show February First Thursday the 2nd. Stay tuned… 🤞✌️ @914larkin (at The Tenderloin District) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnIYPMFSytI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
