San Diego Sunset Painting

Particle Pollution over the Airport

San Diego Sunset Painting

Due to whatever meteorological phenomenon, we have had magnificent sunsets in San Diego these past few weeks.

Here, a classic case of not checking the flight status. Ever helpful, I went to the airport to pick up the traveler. I crawled through the clotted traffic, sweating bullets, feeling very late, but actually being an hour early. So hello, art junk in the trunk, hello painting. for sale

San Francisco Bay from Russian Hill

San Francisco Painting Russian Hill Alcatraz

San Francisco Bay from Russian Hill. I chose this vantage point because isn’t that always the way? A gorgeous view with a tree in front of it.

And in a way, it’s better, more tantalizing. for sale

Gaslamp, San Diego

Gaslamp Quarter Painting San Diego

A small plein air pen and ink with acrylic in downtown San Diego. This is the view from floor 6 of the Horton Plaza parking structure. I painted this last year, on a hot windy day in winter. Today I went back in a silver rain and thought of this piece. Painting watercolor in the rain, of course, being a futile endeavor.

Orange Prius Twins, South Park San Diego

Orange House, Orange Priuses South Park San Diego

for sale

This painting happened sort of by accident but it is also staged. Let me explain. I was painting in Balboa Park, a painting of some trees. And I drove home a different way than usual , through South Park.

I saw this orange house and thought, what a great orange house. Then I saw the orange Prius parked in front of the orange house and I thought, Ha! So then I parked MY orange Prius up the hill behind and painted this.
