Got to spend last week out in Denver, visiting friends and family and working on a couple features for Culture Vixen magazine. It was a blast! Here are some favorite photos snapped from the trip:
(Also be sure to check out my latest article about epic Denver sculptures, including the wild horse that tragically killed its creator.)
I have always admired the work of Sandy Skoglund and finally got to see one of her installations in person! It was very red, and very cool to walk through a room of jumping foxes!
This year’s Thanksgiving table was adorned with fall plants from the garden, which included persimmons, mini-pomegranates, pine cones, green shrub branches, brilliantly-colored leaves, and magnolia pods. I was fascinated by these pods, when a couple days after Thanksgiving, they began to open and all these crazy red seeds (berries?) started popping out. The coolest thing was that they would start out dangling from spider-web-thin white strings, which would later break and spill them onto the table. Isn’t nature enchanting?
LA has been burning this week, which also means out of the destruction emerge the most spectacular sunsets…all the junk in the atmosphere is making our sunsets over the ocean look like paintings with cotton candy clouds and liquid mercury waves. I shot these in Marina del Rey:

As of late, I’ve found myself shooting more and more photography. Up until now, this blog has featured primarily oil paintings, then both paintings and illustrations, and now I’ll be expanding that to include photography. This was shot near Venice Beach, California. -G
Here are some pictures from my recent trip to Chicago….in was fantastic!!!!
It was great to walk around a grand sea of skyscrapers in a tall city again. (LA is big, but I wouldn’t say tall). The architecture all over the city was absolutely amazing and there were so many sculptures everywhere that it really was like walking around in an open air museum…plus the paintings at the Art Institute of Chicago–wow!

Mixed Media: sketched on location at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago. I just got back from a fantastic trip to the windy city, it was such a blast! I shot roughly 1,000 photos in Chicago, so I decided to combine some of my photography and sketches for today’s post.
Had an awesome time up north…la vita e bella!
Here are some sketches and photos from my travels:
