In all the rush of the decision to move and the finishing of San Diego projects and commitments, I forgot to post any pictures of the show of my sky paintings that continues at Joe Bedford’s Coalesce Gallery on India Street in Little Italy.

Paintings by John Hiemstra, furniture by Joe Bedford

I’ll have to go down and shoot some more, it looks like my files from the day of the show didn’t make it from camera to computer. (You can see more of this series of paintings on the Art page of this site.)

• getting a head start on a busy week with show of paintings opening Friday night in Little Italy #SanDiego http://bit.ly/10QtT1 #ly #

I spent a few hours each of the July 4 weekend working on the sky paintings for this Friday’s reception at Coalesce, furniture designer Joseph Bedford’s gallery in Little Italy. Here’s a couple more pix I didn’t put up on the murals and faux blog, even if these paintings germinated in scenic painting with its faux style techniques and the ever popular sky mural as a ceiling and surround technique.
