Victorian house in University Heights, San Diego
This pink Italianate Victorian is, for me, the definition of real estate envy. I love the house and it’s in a great neighborhood- University Heights.
I really, really love these old houses. If I had the time, I’d become a realtor!
Balboa Park Hill Path, San Diego Landscape Painting
Steep and hard on the knees!
Virginia Autumn Leaves Landscape Painting
This is one of the last of the plein air paintings from our recent trip to Blacksburg, Virginia, though there are a couple more that need polishing. Most days the weather was cool if not cold and gray, which I liked, at least in small doses.
One more small studio painting of Red Rocks, outside Las Vegas.

Walk in the woods in Blacksburg, Virginia- For Sale
Most every day in Virginia, it rained. But not this day, which was sunny and beautiful. I just finished this small studio painting last night, on the Huckleberry Trail in Blacksburg, VA.
*** Hurricane Relief Fundraiser ***
Some of you probably already saw this, but I’d like to donate money to an animal welfare organization in New York City to help with their storm relief efforts. I’m auctioning this painting, and all of the proceeds will go to Empty Cages Collective. You can read more about my effort on this blog post. And thanks again.
California Mountain Landscape
A hot summer morning in the mountains near Escondido.
Virginia Farm
A farm in the New River Valley, with autumn just beginning to color the trees.
Bougainvillea Painting, San Diego– For Sale
A sun-splashed alley in Hillcrest, with bougainvillea spilling over the fence… and recycling bins ready for their moment in the limelight.
San Diego Seascape Painting- For Sale
Waves crashing on the rocks on Cabrillo point. I’d planned to touch up this plein air painting in the studio, but after living with the painting for a while, decided to leave it as-is. Something about the less polished state appeals to me.
Rainy Day in Virginia – For Sale
Cows on the hillside on a gray, rainy day in Virginia. This farm is located in Christiansburg, near Blacksburg and Virginia Tech.
Red Rocks Painting- For Sale
Though you can’t actually see the red rocks in this piece, maybe I shouldn’t have called it that. This is from the Red Rocks national conservation area, though, which is a very beautiful place.
Virginia Landscape in the Rain – For Sale
A rainy day in Virginia, with the trees beginning to burst with autumn color and the silos veiled in mist over the hill.
Virginia Rain Painting – For Sale
A rainy day in Virginia, with the trees beginning to burst with autumn color. We just got back from a visit to see friends and family in the area. It didn’t rain every day, but it rained most days. I enjoyed painting outside in the wet and cold.
This is a hill outside Blacksburg, Virginia, in the New River Valley. I lived here for about five years, first working at Virginia Tech and then completing a MFA degree in painting.
It’s a wonderfully scenic place, with farms and forests and old white farmhouses with red tin roofs. This is in the Blue Ridge, which really is blue as the mountains step off into the distance.
You can just walk out the front door and be in a great painting.
Santa Barbara Beach Landscape Painting – For Sale
A cool morning on the beach in Santa Barbara.
