This is one of the alleys just off Balboa Park in Hillcrest, behind beautiful older homes in a slew of styles- craftsman, streamline moderne, mission revival. A wonderful neighborhood.

Hot Morning at Burnt Mountain
Original landscape painting of the mountains north of San Diego, California.
A bright, hot morning as we drove north through the mountains outside Escondido, California. The summer sky was thick looking with haze. We pulled over for me to do the pastel sketch I based this painting on.
Summer Morning in Temecula
Original landscape painting based on a plein air drawing I did while we were visiting the Temecula Valley, California vineyards just north of San Diego.
In addition to vineyards they grow a lot of citrus. It is just beautiful. We like to go up there for the day with a picnic.
An Alley in Hillcrest- Original Oil Painting
No Parking On The Hill, San Diego
A steep street near my house. Last year it caved in with a giant sinkhole, and they replaced the asphalt with big slabs of concrete, like a driveway.
Date Palms in Afternoon Light
That moment when the horizon just starts to turn a faint orange before afternoon becomes dusk. Off El Cajon Ave in San Diego.
Under The Redwoods
I think we’re outside the natural range of the coastal redwoods, but I’ve read they’ll grow anywhere in California as long as you water them enough. These ones are irrigated in Balboa Park. I think they’re amazing.
