STUDIO POSAS

What do you do to get in the zone? For me, putting on my paint-covered apron is an important part of having a productive studio session. I'm reminding myself that it's time to get down to business, get focused, and DO WORK 🎨💪... even if it's computer work (updating my website, applying for shows, writing artist statements, etc.), I still wear the apron. • • • • • #creativeprocess #artiststudio #artistsofinstagram #studioflow #emergingartist #meganposas #femaleartist #chicanoartist #sanfrancisco #bayareaart #apron #dowork (at San Francisco, California)

The ghost of an unfinished painting 👻 I always have one sitting around somewhere... • • • • • #wip #nofilter #art #artinprogress #sanfrancisco #housesofSF #architecture #architecturalportrait #tobecontinued

Completed commission "Schoenstein & Sons", (20"×24", oil on canvas), a portrait of a historic pipe organ factory in the mission district of San Francisco. I've done a few commissioned building portraits now and I've come to really enjoy helping clients capture the character of their architectural loved ones 😊. If you or someone you know are interested in having a custom architectural portrait painted, send me a DM for pricing 👋 • • • • • #art #artoftheday #architecturalportrait #portrait #painting #oilpainting #historicbuilding #sanfrancisco #historicsanfrancisco #custom #commission #contemporarypainting #workingartist #meganposas #nofilter #chicanoart #workingartist

In my recent painting, I've been encouraging myself to make quick, instinctive decisions when it comes to color and simplifying shapes. Here's an example of how I am "abstracting" the city (even though I wouldn't call myself an abstract artist). 🤔 • • • • • #art #artoftheday #detail #wip #creativeprocess #sanfrancisco #cityscape #landscape #urbanscape #abstractpainting #contemporarypainting #contemporaryart #emergingart #meganposas #femaleartist #nofilter #saturday #creativeprocess #abstractcity #abstractshapes #workinprogress #oilpainting #paintinginprogress (at San Francisco, California)

#AMidnightDreamInSanFrancisco

Flattered to have been part of #AMidnightDreamInSanFrancisco, and all-female art show put together by @curateart and @elissapatel, and to have my favorite Urbanscape "19th & Lawton" featured as the event invitation image. • • • • • #cityscape #localart #femaleartists #meganposas #urbanscape #art #artshow #homeshow #popupartshow #whiteparty #sanfrancisco (at Mission District, San Francisco)

:: at last night's secret pop-up with @elissapatel's wall of cat portraits. Last night's white party was truly dreamy! #AMidnightDreamInSanFrancisco w/@curateart and @voguemagazine (at Mission District, San Francisco)

This weekend I returned to my college town and revisited some old friends. Here's one of my old student paintings from the art school days - I love that it's a painting of glassware... being displayed on a shelf with more glassware. #paintinginception #art #artoftheday #meganposas #oilpainting #contemporarypainting #stilllife #nofilter (at Bloomington, Indiana)

Sunday + ☕ + 🎨 = 🖒 This is my favorite mug. It was given to me by the camp director @bluelakeofficial the summer after I graduated, on my last day of leadership staff. I will forever treasure my summers working at Blue Lake. They taught me not to underestimate myself as a leader or as an artist. I got to work and live with incredibly passionate and talented artists of all disciplines and to mentor blossoming teenage artists. I remind myself every day of Rule #6: don't take yourself so seriously 🤗❤ • • • • • #art #artoftheday #wip #bluelakefineartscamp #paintinginprogress #painting #oilpainting #contemporarypainting #contemporaryart #bayareaart #emergingart #emergingartist #meganposas #coffee #mugshot #sunday #memorialdayweekend #artstudio #studioflow #workingartist #creativeprocess (at Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp)
