Painted on location in Balboa Park.
This one took me 3 days on location, and another six months of staring at it before putting 2 dabs of paint and deciding it was done.

Trash Cans, Ocean Beach
Dusk, I-5
This painting is part of the group show “Coded Representations of Power” at the Lyceum Gallery in Horton Plaza, downtown San Diego. Dates: January 2- February 1, 2015. Artists Reception: January 10, 6:30-7:30 PM.
Most of my work is existential rather than expressing a political sentiment, though this work is an exception. I painted it specifically for this exhibition. I wanted to discuss the role that the Interstate Highway System played in “white flight” to the suburbs after the Brown v Board of Education Supreme Court decision (1954) desegregated American schools. The painting is half of a diptych.

A restaurant going up by the harbor. It was a steamboat restaurant- I heard a strange story that the steamboat sank, but that’s probably an urban legend.

Many thanks to my friend Bess for alerting me to this fantastic tented motel complex in Mission Valley- 3 large tented buildings.
The air quality was horrible, I still have a sore throat.

“The Bloody Baguette.” The red blotch is when I went to make a sandwich. Knife slipped and I got my thumb most impressively. After brief reflection, realized this was no longer edible and decided to paint it. I avoid artisan-style baguettes for exactly this reason.

Walked up 19th Street to the new coffee shop, which does not ever seem to be open. (And it wasn’t.) The evening light looked like Armageddon.

Coronado on a sunnier day than today. I won’t pretend to love the rain, being just as neurotic as any Californian about it, but I do like this: when it rains, the Eucalyptus tree that hangs alarmingly over the roof makes the whole place smell like a spa.
