Girl Jumping Rope, by Sienna Meadow Bernard Rivera

Sienna will always be painting and crafting as long as she is hanging out with her mom.

Mery and Sienna on the Vallejo Steps, by Jimo

Sienna was our first born beauty and she is amazing little girl with moving energy and a great sense of humor. Here we are in the afternoon relaxing on the steps of North Beach in 2007.

Tired of the City

Material World

This painting was about covering the painting so the image feels rough and dry. There are thin layer of different colored varnish.

A great reason to paint.

This painting was painted from my inner soul and I like using emotions to connect the feel and the moment. The painting was a true thought and later painted over. The process can be the unraveling of several paintings and moods. Lots and lots of layers. Now I document these many stages, this is one of the layers. 2011

Studio in Cow Hollow 1920

15 Romolo Basque Hotel

I love this location. I'm looking from my rooftop onto the Basque Hotel in San Francisco.

San Francisco in the morning.

I like waking up early so I can see the cool crisp colors sparkle in the morning sun.The city scape begins to awake like a flower one petal at a time. 2011 oil on canvas. Still living in North Beach.
