Here in San Diego, we are spoiled by “perfect” weather but in reality, there are many deviations from “perfect.” For example, it might be 75 degrees instead of 72 and we will feel a little hot.
But today was not like that. It was absolutely perfect.
Coronado Beach Chairs
Painted sitting on a bench outside the Hotel Del, in the morning before people arrived to enjoy the umbrellas and lounge chairs. for sale
Wisteria on the Fence, San Diego
In Mission Hills.
This is my friend’s beautiful house. She asked me to paint a picture of it, and the first time I went I got interested in the alley behind. This is my second effort. for sale
And here is the first effort:
Neither one of these is quite right for what she has in mind, which is basically a house portrait. But I quite often find that commissions spark other ideas- some ideas that go off the rails completely and some ideas that turn out great.

Little Italy, San Diego Watercolor
At a sidewalk cafe.
Painted this morning over breakfast in Little Italy, at a cafe with great food and insanely slow service, I’m talking 20 minutes to get a plain cup of coffee. And the baristas use fake Italian accents. for sale
Del Mar 11 Street Beach
Commission, headed out the door. Turns out 5 commissions at the same time is a little overcommitted, and everything is weeks or months late. I think this one is ready to go out the door though.
This turned out to be a very fun place to paint. The people on the trains waved as they rolled past, and there were an incredible number of pedestrians.
Termite Tent, North Park
I’m really drawn to tented buildings. for sale
