A little cooler now in Texas. Had a chance to see some of the scorched land left by the wildfires here lately. But ....although many sad and horrific things are on my television, alerts on facebook, in the newspaper, I choose not to paint from there right now. I am painting from an interior place and hope that it communicates the quiet sadness, the quiet optimism, the joy of books and memories and those things that are from the personal two square feet that I inhabit.
Peace.

About Me
- Gail Siptak
- I am living and painting in the little town of Houston. A far way from my San Francisco beginnings. I paint what I see of the human condition, be it human, animal or object. The glimmer of humor, pathos, and spirit in so much of what I see is the basis of what I paint.
