Urban Landscape, San Diego – Oil Painting
This house and the garage- in the foreground- are Mission Revival in style, but due to the vantage point from the alley, they look like modernist white boxes. It is a strange but wonderful place. The front and sides are all different colors- pink and light green and taupe and beige for the different sides of the house and detached garage. But all close to pale so you don’t see it at first. After the recent rains, the yard is a green and gold carpet of California wildflowers.
Urban Landscape, San Diego – Oil Painting is for sale.
Ocean Beach, San Diego- Landscape Painting
Original oil landscape painting of the purple Pacific Ocean, rolling white surf, and flat pale sand of Ocean Beach in San Diego, California. I painted this from a pastel sketch while walking on the beach in the early evening, just before sunset. Such a beautiful evening.

Pink Sky Palm Trees – Landscape Painting
Pink Sky Palm Trees – California Landscape Painting
Landscape painting of 3 palm trees in silhouette against a night sky turned glowing pink from the lights of the stadium reflecting against the marine layer rolling in off the Pacific. This painting is from memory, trying to capture the colors of the evening landscape driving down towards Qualcomm Stadium in Mission Valley, San Diego, California. When I got home, I did a study in pastels, and completed the oil painting the next day.
SOLD.

Bougainvillea in Hillcrest- Urban Painting
Bougainvillea in Hillcrest- Urban Landscape Painting
It is no secret that I am drawn to hot pink bougainvillea. I think it looks great and when I am able to afford my dream house I will plant it everywhere. So when I find a place with these flowers, I try to find a way to paint it.
The winter color of the early morning light has already changed from when I painted this a couple of weeks ago.
Sailboats in San Diego Bay
Sailboats in San Diego Bay- Original landscape painting
On a perfect sunny California afternoon we headed to Cabrillo on Point Loma. Maybe the afternoon was too perfect- we waited in line for 30 minutes to pay and drive into the park.
Point Loma curves around to make one side of San Diego Bay. On the other side is Coronado, which turns into the narrow Silver Strand and stretches down to the coast of Mexico in the back of the painting. Despite a hardcore cold ocean wind off the Pacific I got some sketching done. Such a beautiful spot.
SOLD.
Dana Point Drawing
Drawing of Dana Point from the pier in San Clemente, California. We were trying to get to the outlet mall Saturday and my travel jinx* took over. Every time we tried to get to the 5 South we wound up on the 5 North. So we headed north along the California coast, aiming for San Juan Capistrano, but then we decided on beautiful San Clemente instead.
*This happens from time to time- though usually when I am driving- and I wind up going in huge circles before finally winding up somewhere I may not have intended to go, but where it turns out I am glad to be.
Point Loma Lighthouse
The lighthouse and coast guard station on Point Loma. There are two lighthouses, one high on the bluffs and this one, low near the water line.

This is Cypress Ave looking toward the Greek Orthodox church and the neo-Renaissance style Embassy hotel.
San Diego Farmer’s Market Painting
Urban landscape painting of the old San Diego Farmer’s Market, which is a pink modernist structure (from the 1920s?) connected to an older brick (Victorian?) structure. It is located at the edge of downtown and Barrio Logan. I’d been wanting to paint it for a long time but with the one way streets downtown I kept getting lost.
