Quonset Hut and Palm Trees Painting – Buy now
We stopped in an industrial area. I’m not sure where we were- somewhere between LA and Santa Barbara. It was a little town with a palm-lined main street. I liked the quonset hut a lot.
I went to preschool in one- a quonset hut I mean. It was on Quantico- a military base in Virginia near Washington DC.
Trash Cans in the Alley, San Diego Painting
Trash cans lined up in a sunny alley. I like painting in alleys- it’s very peaceful.
Morning Street in Hillcrest- Painting of San Diego
I like cityscapes where the buildings are layered, in this case, by time as well as height. Georgia St in San Diego.
Painting of San Diego- North Park
From the Georgia St Bridge, looking out over North Park.
This is the second version of this view of North Park I’ve painted. Well, technically it is the first version, but the first layers of color didn’t dry fast enough (I’d been experimenting with a different oil painting medium), so I impatiently started over with a second version.
After finishing that one, I lost my steam for the first version and put it away for I’m not sure how long, at least a couple of months. But recently I found it in a stack of half-finished work, and decided to give it another effort.

Garden With Morning Glory Flowers
I love this peaceful backyard, with its overhanging mimosa and magnolia trees, velvety lawn, and the cheerful morning glory overhanging the fence. They have bougainvillea too.
San Diego Urban Landscape Painting
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.
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.
