This is my third entry into this year's Ripped Off show. This time I partnered with Carissa Martos. She had such a diverse and fabulous portfolio, it was difficult to select a piece to "rip". I finally decided on her San Fran Bay 2. I have not painted a bridge before, so this was definitely a challenge. Click here to visit here EBSQart gallery.


Thank you Carissa for giving me the opportunity to partner with you this year. It was so much fun and I can't wait for you to see the painting in person. Click here to see the entire "Ripped Off" Show at EBSQart.com.

The Bay Bridge was painted using professional artist grade acrylic paint on a gallery wrapped museum quality canvas with painted sides to allow for hanging without a frame. Painting was finished with a light coat of varnish.

This painting was gifted to Carissa Martos. Prints of this painting can be purchased from Fine Art America.com.

Well, off to the next painting adventure~

Thanks for stopping by,

Participating in the "Ripped Off" Show has been so much fun~ This is the "Ripped Off" version of my painting Afternoon Tea. Carissa Martos is my third partner in this year's show. She chose to rip one of my very favorite paintings. I love what she has done and cannot wait to see it in person.

Visit Carissa Martos' gallery at EBSQart.com. She has a fabulous and varied gallery.

Now, I have to get busy finishing my last entry in the show. I am "ripping" Carissa's San Fran Bay 2. I have never painted a bridge before and this is indeed a challenge. The painting is on a 12" x 24" gallery wrapped canvas and I am cropping the composition a bit and focusing on the bridge. Check back soon to see the finished painting. I have to hurry the deadline is rapidly approaching!

Thanks for stopping by and following my work,
