Hi and Welcome to J Lee Arts and Music, Dateline 7/13/26 Starry Skemes is on summer vaction at the present moment but laid down basic tracks for the final three songs of this song cycle so it’s my homework to get these songs into shape. Got a great little vintage amp/pedal board for guitar tracks and it’s always a treat to rig up and record or write! These past weeks I’ve been in my storage room art space working on a pair of drip/pool paintings which are now complete and viewable here. Funny how people who generally don’t make art are annoyed by abstraction, lol, and claim a 2 year old can do it. No shade on toddlers, of course, that’s a great thing to be doing at that age. I did it as much as possible with my daughter and her friends too (in fact, it rebooted my own interest in visual art).  I beg to differ that abstract art is simple minded or easy. In fact it’s quite difficult to yield a compelling  composition.  It takes a lot of time, experimentation, methodology and connection with you’re chosen materials. I will admit, if you succeed in the art world as an abstract painter, well… you win! Also new here or click below to view a recent painting of SF Bay from Pt. Richmond. I am currently working on mobile sculptures and modular synth patching along with some physical synth sound sculptures which I’ll be exhibiting in a small gallery in the Mission District the first week in August.  More details soon. As always thanks for checking out the site!
