Happy Birthday to Diego Velázquez, who was baptized this day in 1599. Much has already been said about the painter. This morning I pay my own humble respects to him for providing me with lessons that inform my own painting practice.
No people are more associated with the fashion of black Chantilly Lace than the Spanish. And no painting more delightfully portrays the tradition than Goya's Duchess of Alba.

As we close out a difficult emotional week, I'm contemplating uncertainty as the engine of creative transformation. I must believe that creative people will find surprising paths through this. "I Dissent," my 36 x 48" painting inspired by Justice Sotomayor's August rebuttal to majority SCOTUS Presidential immunity ruling. (Every very justice has his/her own color.) #abstractacrylicpainting #contemporarypainting #hunterspointshipyardartists #lizhagerpaints #sfartist #acrylicpaintingartist #idissent
A huge THANK YOU to all the folks who came out to our Shipyard 40th anniversary Open Studios celebration weekend. For those of you who missed this event, our Holiday show (Dec 8) will be another art crawl opportunity. In the meantime, a shaky video of my studio before the fun started. #contemporarypainting #sfartscene #hunterspointshipyardartists #lizhagerpaints #bayareaartist #contemporaryabstraction #acrylicpainting #oilpainting #studiospace
