The Ruhstaller Building on 9th and J Streets

This is an 8"X48" acrylic painting on stretched canvas that is one of eighteen of my acrylic paintings that is part of a two man show at the Elliott Fouts Gallery here in Sacramento. The artist's reception is this Saturday, Feb. 13 from 6-9PM. I expect all my blog visitors to be there...no excuses.

  1. Gosh David. This is so fabulous; I can't decide if the people or the building intrigue me more! I am so enjoying your ability to paint in different styles...from your SF trolley to your portraits to your buildings...All of them wonderful.

  5. Thanks Autumn. I'm schizo...can't decide wether I like watercolor or acrylic better. I'm an aquarian, and both mediums use water.
