Awestruck by the master muralists who decorated Pompeii and whose work miraculously survives to inspire thousands of years later. Beautiful show @legionofhonor my favorite local museum. #frescopainting #Pompeii #secondstyle #inspiration #sanftanciscoartist #simplicity

I am quoted in the Wall Street Journal this weekend in my role as President of Artistic License- a Guild of Artisans, whose members worked to restore the houses gloriously featured in this article entitled "San Francisco’s Victorian Houses Are Being Restored to Their Original Glory" Two of my projects are included. https://www.wsj.com/articles/san-franciscos-victorian-houses-are-being-restored-to-their-original-glory-11621526457 #sanfrancisco #restoration #victorian #paintedladies #victoriansincolor #pinkpinkpink # #houseportrait #victorianhouse #victorians #victoriana #victorianarchitecture #victorianhouses #alwayssf #artisticlicenseguild #facadelovers #restoredvictorian #traditionaldecor #sfheritage #victorianalliance

The International Decorative Painting Salon 2021 is starting up in St Louis this week, hosted by Margaret Von Kaenel on the theme of American Regionalism and Storytelling. I am heartbroken not to be there, but have sent a great storyteller to stand in for me: “Mark Twain Recalls his Adventures in a Silver Mining Town near San Francisco” painted in on silver-gilt canvas at over 400% of life size. . . . #seeyounextyear #largerthanlife #salonforever #salonstlouis2021 #marktwain #storyteller #lynnerutterstudio #americanstory #thatmustache #gildedpainting #muralart #thesocietyofgilders #lynnerutterpainting

After a date night picnic, we happened by the light sculpture “Entwined” by local artist @gadeken_art installed in Golden Gate Park. A small gathering with music added to the wonderment. #GGP150 #Entwined @sfparksalliance #lightart #lovemycity 
Recently uncovered the old exterior wall in my laundry room. Layers of history and memories. . . . #victoriancottage #circa1875 #stillworkingonit #oldhouselove #layersofhistory #potrerohill #paulettegoddard #cocacola
