Girl with Fur Bikini and Feathers
A page from my sketchbook. At last night’s figure drawing group, the model showed up in a fur bikini and feather headdress she’d designed and made herself.
I don’t post much figure work here since it’s usually nudes and I like to keep the site G-rated.
I hope you enjoy this one- it’s a quick sketch just before I left for the night.
Mission Trails San Diego Landscape Painting – For Sale
In January, the last of the yellow leaves are falling, just as the land turns celadon green with the first rains of the year. A plein air painting from Saturday.
Hillcrest Watercolor: For Sale.
I love this mid century building. I’d guess it’s from the late 1950s, but it could be the 60s. It used to be a Chicken and Waffles restaurant, which was a lot of fun. Painted from across the street at breakfast.
It’s been a while since I’ve worked in pen and ink, highlighted with watercolor, and getting back into this medium feels wonderful and free.

A perfect morning just off the UCSD campus in La Jolla. I’d come here to paint the ocean, but got captivated by the canyon instead.

San Diego Skyline from Spanish Landing Park- For Sale
A small plein air watercolor of the San Diego skyline seen behind the Harbor Island Marina.
I’ve mostly posted oil paintings here, and I continue to paint in oil every day. But I’m eager for the freedom of pen and ink, highlighted with watercolor, so I’m increasingly turning to watercolor for quick studies. Normally I use pastel for those, but I feel like a change. So watercolor it is! I thought you might like to see some of them.
I painted this yesterday- a perfect sunny day- over lunch at Spanish Landing Park.
What was the lunch? Pesto pasta.
Guava and Lemon Still Life Painting- For Sale

Blacksburg Virginia Woods Painting- Buy Now
Along the bike path between Blacksburg and Christiansburg, in the New River Valley, Virginia.
Once upon a time, I lived at one end of this bike path. I worked along a fork of the path, at Virginia Tech, and frequently biked to work in all weather. It was only a couple of miles, through farms and fields of cows and mud puddles and through the woods.
Sometimes- and almost every day in the summer- I’d take the other fork, which led here. And I’d continue past this spot, making it about a 12 mile bike ride all told.
Though I rode here in all seasons and all weather, in my memory this place is a golden summer afternoon, listening to the first Sugarland album on my iPod, riding a bike.
Opening reception Friday January 18, 6-8 PM before “Clybourne Park.”
I’m stoked to announce my upcoming show at the Lyceum Gallery! It’s a series of urban scenes of San Diego, a painted record of my wanderings around the city. The show will run from January 12 through February 10.

Pineapple Orange and Watermelon Still Life Buy Now
This is the study for a larger painting, and every time I look at it I hear a Shakira song in my head that must have been playing while I worked on both pieces. The song goes “Solo tu something something.” It’s off the album “Donde Estan Los Ladrones” which is one of my go-to painting soundtracks.
