San Francisco Bay from Russian Hill. I chose this vantage point because isn’t that always the way? A gorgeous view with a tree in front of it.
And in a way, it’s better, more tantalizing. for sale
A small plein air pen and ink with acrylic in downtown San Diego. This is the view from floor 6 of the Horton Plaza parking structure. I painted this last year, on a hot windy day in winter. Today I went back in a silver rain and thought of this piece. Painting watercolor in the rain, of course, being a futile endeavor.
East Beach, morning light.

This painting happened sort of by accident but it is also staged. Let me explain. I was painting in Balboa Park, a painting of some trees. And I drove home a different way than usual , through South Park.
I saw this orange house and thought, what a great orange house. Then I saw the orange Prius parked in front of the orange house and I thought, Ha! So then I parked MY orange Prius up the hill behind and painted this.

On the fringes of Little Italy- for sale
Little Italy in San Diego is a strange combination of things. There are excellent Italian restaurants and people at least pretending to be Italian. There are gleaming high rises and also tired old buildings like this one, which is abandoned and probably waiting to be turned into a gastropub or craft brewery.
A strange parking garage in downtown San Diego. for sale
Horton Plaza is pretty strange: five or six stories of open-air arcades and colonnades and zigzagging staircases, Gap stores and magnet schools, as postmodern as you could imagine and painted in the brightest oranges and pinks. This is the even stranger parking garage for Horton Plaza- The Fruit and Vegetable Garage. The garage is like something out of Escher, mazelike and disorienting and full of these colorful signs.
