Easter Donut – for sale
Glazed donut in the shape of the Easter Bunny, with Jelly Bean eyes.
This is from a place in San Diego called Donut Bar, where you wait in line for an anxious eternity to get what are apparently THE BEST DONUTS IN THE WORLD.
As you can see, I bought a few…
Only painted this one though. The rest are slated for demolition tomorrow.
Happy Easter!
Rocks – for sale
Painted yesterday on location in Ocean Beach, San Diego.
Bit of a light glare on the painting, since I photographed it while still wet. Will have to try again when it’s dry in a couple of days.

I loved the soft glow of this apartment building lit at night from behind the termite tent. This painting is one of my favorites.

Sunset at the Crystal Pier in Pacific Beach, San Diego. There’s a hotel with cottages on the pier- you can sleep right over the surf.
San Diego Bay Painting – for sale
An open air painting overlooking San Diego Bay, the airport, and Coronado from Mission Hills.
Spring Forward at the Kensington Cafe- for sale
Painted over morning coffee on the patio at Starbucks in the San Diego neighborhood of Kensington. It’s a really nice area.
There were great views in all directions, including a stunning Sixties Functional gas station and a Modernist library with trees growing through the architecture. I didn’t paint the library though; I got too discombobulated from Spring Forward. I’ll have to go back.
While I am primarily an oil painter, I love the immediacy of completing a loose pen and ink sketch highlighted with watercolor.
At this point, I think I’m going to have to call this a series: Sunday at Starbucks.
Eucalyptus in Balboa Park- for sale
A grey day.
I started this painting, and got to here when it started raining. Normally, I’d come back another day to finish, but then I decided I loved it as-is.
And I thought, this is probably one of those where you put one more brush stroke on it and it doesn’t work anymore.
Craftsman House in Hillcrest Painting- for sale
I love the soaring lines on the gable in this Craftsman house- in San Diego’s Hillcrest neighborhood.
A gray day by the river – for sale
Painted on location at the San Diego River on a cool, cloudy day.
Golden Hill Watercolor – buy now
Painted over morning coffee out the window of Starbucks in Golden Hill. Eventually I moved out onto the patio, since it was a beautiful February morning.

Painted on location at Lake Murray with the California Art Club.
Santa Barbara Sparkle – buy now
A plein air painting standing on the beach in Santa Barbara.
This was my last painting of the morning- and probably begun around 10:30 AM, before dashing off to a birthday celebration! May have been earlier though; I was out there at sunrise.
