Exploring a larger scale - more #viewfromthestudio, water colors

View from the Studio

The actual View from the Studio you've been hearing so much about - this is a snapshot out of my studio window at the Revere Studio, taken in September 2017. You need a zoom lens, you must wait for the right light and voila, this is what you see. I've been staring at it a lot, it is a perfect combination of shapes, light and colors.

Some new small watercolors from a recent rainy Sunday afternoon.

I just finished those 16 small oil on canvas/oil on board paintings yesterday, and they are still at the studio, drying. Some of them will be going to the SF Moma Artists Gallery at Fort Mason, some will be available online (email me at Katja@Katjaleibenath.com). You can also always come by in person and see them at my studio in the Bayview. To schedule a studio visit, here is the link with more info:

Selections 2017 - ArtSpan SF Gala at Heron Arts

If you ever need anything Art Deco, FIRST, talk to Oran at Relic Vintage on Haight Street.

Rainy weekday mornings are the best time to shop on in the Haight. Everyone's got time to talk to you.

Getting your hair done with Kylie is like therapy. Thank you @kirstentradowsky for the recommendation!

For any retro hair style, make your appointment early- Kylie at PublicBarber on Geary. Completely amazing.

everything finally together.
