Courtyard at Castell de Montjuïc

Castell de Montjuïc, Barcelona Painting

A brick courtyard in the 18th century fort. They bombarded the city from here in various wars and various iterations of the castle, put revolutionaries against the firing squad, etc. Castles usually have a bloody history and this one is no exception. for sale

Santa Maria Del Mar Barcelona Painting

Plein air, early AM painting of Santa Maria del Mar in Barcelona. The smell: chocolate croissants baking in the nearby bakery and old spilled booze. The feeling: bird dookie trickling down my head (forgot to bring paper towels).

Santa Maria Del Mar, Barcelona

NFS, I’m keeping this one as a souvenir.

Botanical Building Painting San Diego Watercolor

They say this wacky curved greenhouse is one of the most photographed buildings in Balboa Park- though probably not from this angle. Painted over lunch on the Plaza de Panama. for sale

Hillcrest Watercolor Painting San Diego

Robinson Ave This Time

Hillcrest Watercolor Painting San Diego

Another morning watercolor in Hillcrest. I wanted to paint The Brass Rail up the street. It’s a cool old building, maybe Art Deco but I’m not sure exactly what architectural style. There’s a good vantage point from a coffee shop on that corner- but it was packed, no seats. So I went with this instead. for sale
