I gave #173 of Studio View on my wall where I can easily see it and whenever I move it goes up in the right place. It makes me so happy to see it and to discover more and more in it when I just lay on the couch and look up at it! It’s a treasure! Thank you for creating it!
Thank you, Mary, for the wonderful comment. “Studio View” is one of my favorites as well. It was a lot of work but it was well worth it.
I would like to tell you that I have your picture “Starcross” 1987,
287/300
Great! I hope you are enjoying it and thanks for letting me know.
Hi Scott – I am a San Francisco native and relocated to Cincinnati two years ago. I found your serigraph of “View From Telegraph Hill” 18/275 in a vintage shop and had to have it. It’s the San Francisco of my childhood and can’t wait for my family to see it when they visit. It’s beautiful- thank you!
Thanks for letting me know! I am very happy that you like it and, as I’ve said elsewhere, to know where my work winds up.
Hello Scott, I recently purchased a print of yours at a Government run auction site. it is called Route #1 its a serigraph #247/300. My wife Geri and I (mike) recently had taken a trip down Route 1 from washington state to LA. Your painting looked like part of our trip, which is why I purchased it. But I cannot find it on your website. I took pictures of it if you need them. any info would make us smile. Thanks Mike…
Hello Mike, You are correct, there is no image of “Route 1” in the Serigraphs section. Somehow it got skipped. I will try to remedy that as soon as I have time. The actual location is the intersection of Route 1 and the Tomales Petaluma Road in Tomales, CA. There was lots of “artistic license” involved with eliminating power poles and maybe an entire building that once was a filling station on the southwest corner of the intersection. The silkscreen, one of 30 or so, was produced from a watercolor and distributed by Fidelity Arts of Los Angeles. It is hand printed in at least 30 hand-separated colors, probably 1984 or thereabouts. I am in the process of writing up my laborious process for printing these editions.
There is another edition missing that I am unable to find any Artist’s Proof copies of to create an image for the website.
Thanks for your comment! I hope you enjoy the print.
Hi Scott,
I have a framed “Oaks”, signed in pencil but not numbered. Can you tell me more about what I have? I actually purchased it about 10 years ago from a collection owned by a large corporation. Thanks!
Hello Julie,
It is very odd that no numbers appear on your copy of “Oaks.” All copies that I let out of my studio and sent to Palm Editions in Los Angeles were numbered. “Oaks” was printed and published around 1982 I think and should have been sold with a certificate of authenticity and definitely numbered. Is there any indication that the number, which should have been in the lower left margin just outside the image, was erased? I have seen that happen occasionally.
Whatever the reason, it is one of my favorites.It is based on an acrylic painting of the same size that I did from sketches of the the San Geronimo Valley along Sir Francis Drake Blvd between Fairfax and Lagunitas, California, near Pt. Reyes. It is a really beautiful area that goes from oak covered hillsides to Redwood forest as it approaches the coast.
I hope you enjoy this print for a long time. By the way, please keep it out of direct sunlight. I used Alizarin Crimson for the red tints and later discovered that Alizarin Crimson is susceptible to fading in sunlight.
Thanks for your comment!
Thanks for your reply. I can’t see any indication of the number being erased. Interesting! It is a lovely piece!!
I have a framed picture entitled Beach. It is lovely. Our daughter graduated from Dartmouth in 1997. I was thrilled to see you attended there as well.
Hello Scott, I have a framed work of yours (Oaks) that we purchased quite a few years ago at a fund raiser in the San Francisco bay Area. It’s a beautiful piece and I decided to do some research and I was able to quickly locate your website. I am thinking is a Serigraph and is number 116/285 with your signature in pencil. Is the value of this piece ~$600, which the Oaks serigraph is currently priced at? When was this painted. I believe we attended the fundraiser in the ’80’s.
Hello Ray,
Thank you for your note. I have only one artist proof of “Oaks” remaining. It was quite popular and sold out fast. The original acrylic that the serigraph was based on was done about 1982 or 1983 I think. The original retail price for the unframed piece was $225 I believe. It is very difficult to estimate “value” of living artists’ work, but I think that $600 for the unframed artist’s proof is reasonable.
Thank you for your quick response Scott and forgive my lack of knowledge on the subject, but is the piece I have a “proof” (116/285)? What is the difference between proof, silkscreen or serigraph. All I know is how much we’ve enjoyed it over the years.
Silkscreens are just a different name for serigraphs. They are both done by squeezing ink through a stencil that has silk fabric mesh as a base. The fabric is “blocked out” with a non-ink-soluble glue wherever you don’t want the ink to go.
With serigraphs (unlike lithographs where the “plate” deteriorates somewhat over the run of a color), “Artist’s Proofs” are basically the same as any other prints in the edition. In my case, if the edition was 285 (like yours) I would just print an extra 28 or 30 sheets and keep them and send the rest of the edition to the publisher (Fidelity Arts). Actually, I always aimed for around 300 in the edition with 30 APs, so I’d start with 400 sheets of paper because there was always a lot of wastage and mistakes, like blobs of ink in the margins or misalignments, etc. With 30 or more colors, there was always a lot thrown out, like, at least one per color (each color took a whole day). There must have been quite a few errors with your print since I only got 285 in the edition.
I should note that “Oaks” is light sensitive. If it is in direct sunlight the red tones will fade. This was a bad choice on my part to use alizarin crimson for the reddish tones. I changed to a light-fast red for subsequent editions.
Can you tell me the general/specific location for “Oaks?”
Hello Daniel,
“Oaks” was based on sketches done on Sir Francis Drake between Fairfax and Lagunitas in Marin County, CA. It is really a composite and not an actual view of a specific location. Thanks for asking!
I was overcome with emotion finding your serigraph “View From Telegraph Hill” for sale in Indianola, Iowa. I grew up in the Bay Area and your picture just got hung where I can see it daily. Thanks. It’s 15/275. Do you have any idea of what I should insure it for?
