Golden dry grass in Tecolote Canyon. Just down the hill from the University of San Diego, this is a great spot to paint in the cool breeze off Mission Bay.

I’d gone down there to paint the water, but I liked the way these palm trees stuck up over the curve of the grassy hill.

An absolutely gorgeous morning on Coronado.

Sunrise on Cypress
Sunrise on Cypress Avenue in San Diego – For Sale
A rare clear morning. So close to the ocean we usually have fog, or at least that’s my impression since let’s face it, I’m not usually up this early.
This is a painting of my street.
Not up quite this early today to meet other painters in the California Art Club on the beach at Coronado, right by the Hotel Del.
I wanted to do a painting of the hotel also, but was running late for a parade in North Park!
I enjoyed the samba dancers:

California Tower in Balboa Park, San Diego
San Diego Painting for sale, California Tower in Balboa Park
A couple of weeks ago we joined members of the Oil Painters of America to paint in Balboa Park. I chose the Alcazar Garden, so I could paint the California Tower (part of the Museum of Man). Also I like standing in the shade.
We took pictures of some of the other painters, though they have disappeared from the camera! Mysterious.
Autumn Landscape, Virginia
Autumn Leaves in Virginia’s Blue Ridge
This is actually, finally, the last of the plein air pieces from our recent trip to Virginia. I just walked out of the house and set up my easel across the road. I hope to do more studio paintings from the trip as well.
I had a similar view from my place in Virginia, and though my work in those days was considerably more abstract- this was during my MFA days- I did many paintings with a similar format to this one. Looking out at a distant blue skyline, from a high elevation.
