weekend 5

The Hunter's Point Open Studios was a bit exhausting... due in part to the heat, the crowd, and possibly the fact that I didn't know if there were any more personally exciting artists to look forward to.

I did find some good artists though.

Alberto Ybarra's art was very evocative in its familiar yet visually and emotionally twisted scenes. I liked this one the best.

Irena Kononova's massive canvases (this one is an inch shorter than me) draw you in and the ubiquitous water (rivers, ponds) depicted shimmer. Perhaps that's the marble dust.

I also admired Jie Zhou's near-photographic oils of European architecture reflected upon the water, and Rhonel Roberts' jazz musicians.

End of the SF Open Studios. Maybe next weekend is aquarium time.
