Kissed by an acorn! one of the oldest Oak trees in the San Jose area
Saint Andrew’s Episcopal School, landmark and icon of the San Jose Area. This Oak Tree is a great example of old growth oak trees in the San Jose Valley. This painting will be up for auction at a fundraiser November 14th. Since everyone loves this tree it should make for a pretty cool item at the auction. I had mixed up a new palette of paint, and I feel that it made for a fairly strong painting because of that fact. I love working on the acrylic sheeting (Plexiglass-Lucite) because It allows the transparency to show and I can look backwards into the history of the layering. It also has this nice reflective aura due to the coating on the sheets. Best of luck, and happy bidding, if you are in the Bay Area stop by St. Andrew’s for the Auction!

Thank you, Scott, for your generous donation to Saint Andrew’s Episcopal Church youth group; your painting raised $200 at the auction last night for the kids’ 2010 service trip. It was one of the most hotly contested auction items, with 16 bids starting at $30. The woman who ended up winning the art said it reminded her of Van Gogh.
