BEAUTY: Painting--Mittie Cuetara

East Coast-born artist Mittie Cuetara relocated to the San Francisco Bay Area years ago and now paints scenes of streets, houses, and parks in San Francisco, Oakland, and Berkeley ... views and images of cityscapes and landscapes I know so well! Regular readers know how much I love a painter who really uses paint in a visceral way, creating Impressionistic feelings with globs and swirls of glorious color, and Cuetara does that in a loose, free, masterful way. So beautiful!

BEAUTY: Painting--Aron Wiesenfeld

I have been appreciating the unsettling work of painter Aron Wiesenfeld for some time now and can't believe I have not shared him with you yet. I love his eerie narratives of a single person in a lone desolate spot, probably in some form of peril ... ... his unease with tunnels and what they mean psychologically is a recurring motif, as is the imagery of people (often adolescents or children) in snow wearing clothing clearly not meant for cold weather. They work like film stills, asking more questions about the spooky circumstances we are seeing than they answer.

BEAUTY: Painting--Angela Lane

I am mesmerized and set on edge by Angela Lane's eerie imagery of celestial events. Eclipses, inexplicable twin suns, and sudden spectral emanations of light present themselves over innocent landscapes ... uncanny portents hinting at something we don't or can't understand.
