Sailboats on San Diego Bay. I enjoy the challenge of painting water, which is so many different colors at once, and the challenge of painting boats, which have complex curving shapes. This painting started out as drawings in a lawn chair on Shelter Island.

A steep path above the gently rolling surf in the ecological preserve on Point Loma in San Diego. This beautiful place is full of native San Diego species of plants and animals.
