I began this landscape painting en plein air in Mission Trails Park in San Diego, California, and finished it in the studio.

Fog Rolling In At Nightfall, San Diego
One of the alleys in Hillcrest as a heavy nighttime fog rolls in off the San Diego Bay.
Purple House in Hillcrest
I can’t tell you how much I admire the purple paint on this modernist house in Hillcrest, San Diego, California.
Bougainvillea in the Alley- Oil Painting
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.

Retiree in yellow knee socks in line at the supermarket: Excuse me, why is this place so crowded?
Me: Oh… people really like groceries.

This one lives under the neighbors’ bougainvillea.
