Harbor Island Marina Watercolor – For Sale
A small plein air watercolor of the Harbor Island Marina. What a pretty, restful place to paint among the boats, the calm water, and the suntanned joggers.
It’s a great place to unwind.
San Clemente Pier Painting- For Sale
This was one of those bright, bright days where everything went bleached pale. It was very still.
San Elijo Lagoon Painting – For Sale
An open air painting of the tidal marshes at the San Elijo Lagoon. It’s a really great place.
San Diego Skyline from Mission Hills – For Sale
I was very excited to paint the skyline from this spot. We’d driven past on Saturday when the clouds were super dramatic.
I was a little disappointed in the clouds on Sunday for not wreathing around the high rises… but I got over it.
Over Ocean Beach – For Sale
What can I say about this? Ocean Beach is beautiful and lots of fun. I had pizza for lunch, and I love pizza.
That’s this painting on the sideways easel, while these guys are checking out the geocache. It was a freezing 55 degrees in the shade- so I really, really suffered for this one. 😉
San Diego Industrial Landscape – Buy Now
An industrial building off Convoy in Kearny Mesa. This is a great area with mid century buildings and wide open spaces- lots of asphalt and geometry and I love it.
Flowering Branch Painting – For Sale
This is an older painting, and I’ve always been fond of it. It’s of the flowering pears (maybe cherries) in Balboa Park.
I hope to do more paintings of the pears this year when they come into flower, which should be soon. I’m also very excited to have more mobility soon… may be buying a new truck! Well, used but new to me. I look forward to doing more paintings outside the neighborhood.
Del Mar Beach Painting- Buy Now
The last painting of the afternoon, on the bluffs at the southern end of Del Mar, with the beach down the cliffs below.
Saturday at Starbucks- for sale
I enjoy just sitting somewhere and drawing- in this case, at Starbucks!
Blacks Beach Painting – For Sale
Kelp washed up on Blacks Beach, San Diego.
Church on Normal Street
This piece almost went into my show at the Lyceum Gallery… opening tonight!
It’s a painting started “en plein air” (painted outside on location) on Normal Street in Hillcrest. This is the spot at one end of the Hillcrest Farmer’s Market.
Early morning, before the traffic gets heavy with people going to work, is a nice, peaceful time to paint. I didn’t manage to finish this one before things started getting hectic, with people waiting outside the DMV and streaming by in their cars, ready to hit the highway on their way to their jobs. So I finished it later in the studio; I often work this way.
“Places Here” – Art Reception: 6-8 PM.
Please join us at the Lyceum Gallery in downtown San Diego for the opening of my show, “Places Here.” It’s an exploration of San Diego’s urban neighborhoods, old houses, and hidden alleyways. (Please click here for more info.)

A view from the pier in beautiful San Clemente.

Mission Trails San Diego Landscape Painting – For Sale
In January, the last of the yellow leaves are falling, just as the land turns celadon green with the first rains of the year. A plein air painting from Saturday.
Hillcrest Watercolor: For Sale.
I love this mid century building. I’d guess it’s from the late 1950s, but it could be the 60s. It used to be a Chicken and Waffles restaurant, which was a lot of fun. Painted from across the street at breakfast.
It’s been a while since I’ve worked in pen and ink, highlighted with watercolor, and getting back into this medium feels wonderful and free.

La Jolla California Canyon Landscape Painting – Buy Now
A perfect morning just off the UCSD campus in La Jolla. I’d come here to paint the ocean, but got captivated by the canyon instead.
