From the Embarcadero- buy now
Really perfect weather in San Francisco.
From Pier 41 – for sale
A beautiful day in San Francisco. I took a little too much advantage of the great weather to visit many steep hills, where I did a few paintings and took many photos for later reference.
My legs now feel like, well, meat jelly. Today, breakfast in the Mission, then Legion of Honor.
Telegraph Hill- buy now
The Golden Hour on Telegraph Hill in San Francisco, painted from the Embarcadero.
Such a beautiful city; it really is postcard-perfect.
I’m working in gouache here. I wanted to bring my oils but it’s such a drama flying with them. I like gouache as a substitute for oils, you can layer them similarly and the small tubes are great for your one-quart carry-on bag.
Golden Hill, San Diego – for sale
Saturday afternoon found me at a laundromat. I like clean clothes. I did not exactly plan this series that’s developed of paintings outside laundromats, but it has happened, and I like it.
This particular laundromat is in Golden Hill. Although Golden Hill is a chichi area with extremely expensive Victorian homes, the laundromat turned out to be a dank hole. It does, however, possess the critical amenity of ample parking and it has this tamale shop stuck under an awning right beside it.
I loved the tamale shop and the awning immediately and I had to paint it.
Crystal Cove, in Laguna – for sale
Well in the hills above the cove!
Rocky Beach, San Clemente, California- buy now
Nice spot for a walk.
My cousin came from out of state for a Disneyland trip, and we met him at a beachfront pizza place in San Clemente. Well not strictly beachfront, but you could see the water.
Looking towards Montecito- for sale
On East Beach in beautiful Santa Barbara. Painted as a memory- time for another visit!
South Park Crafstman- buy now
At the laundromat again, drawing out front while my clothes were in the wash.
Fences- buy now
The house next door. I didn’t feel like traveling to paint. 😉
Rigoberto’s – buy now
Rigoberto’s taco shop in North Park, San Diego. I don’t normally paint cars for various reasons aesthetic and philosophical, but in this case it seemed weird to paint a Drive Thru without including a car.
Victorian in U Heights- buy now
Now a yoga studio, next door to my trusty laundromat.
Orange and blue termite tent- buy now
I thought the colors of this termite tent were especially nice.
