Cupcake Still Life Painting – For Sale
I painted this one a while back. It was hard to paint this cupcake, because the entire time I wanted to eat it.

Plum Still Life Painting
Plum Still Life – Buy Now
The plums were not ripe, so I sequestered them in the painting studio. I love all the delicate purples and lavenders in the bloom on plums.
North Park Panorama, San Diego
View over North Park – Buy Now
This is the third or maybe fourth painting I’ve done here. I love this view of the city, with so many buildings and hills.
We’re looking out over North Park from the Georgia Street Bridge.
La Jolla Cliff Path
The path to the beach – For Sale
Surfers, of course, sprint nimbly down the sheer cliffs. Personally, I use this twisting path- it leads from the Glider Port down to Black’s Beach.
East County Autumn
East County Landscape- For Sale
I love the tawny grass of autumn in San Diego. A major rainstorm today, everything will turn soft green soon as a new year begins.
Del Mar Beach Painting

A plein air piece from the bluffs overlooking Torrey Pines Beach.
(Spun the easel around for the photo, I was actually painting the opposite view.)
Mission Hills Street, San Diego
House in Mission Hills – For Sale
I love the old houses in Mission Hills, and I was especially captivated by the shapes and colors of this one, with its rooms over the garage and Airstream trailer parked out front.
French Macaron Still Life Painting
A chocolate macaron – original still life painting – For Sale
Last year I went into a time of obsession with macarons, and I sampled as many as I could. I bought this chocolate one on a trip to Chicago.
Golden Grass Landscape, San Diego
Tecolote Canyon Landscape Painting- For Sale
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.
Palms on the Hill
Mission Bay Painting, San Diego – For Sale
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.
Coronado Beach Painting, San Diego
Coronado Beach Painting- For Sale
An absolutely gorgeous morning on Coronado.
This is from the California Art Club paint out last weekend.
Pistachio French Macaron
Macarons de Paris- For Sale
French Macarons… one of my favorite desserts. I’d say pistachio- like this one- is the best flavor, but it’s so hard to choose!
The macaron came from Big Joy Bakery in San Diego.
Outside the Laundromat, San Diego
Plein Air Outside The Laundromat While My Clothes Were Drying – for sale through Randy Higbee Gallery. 6 x 6 inches, oil on wood, framed.
I was very excited and honored to hear that this painting is included in the amazing 6″ Squared show at Randy Higbee Gallery. The opening Gala Artists’ Reception is Saturday, December 8th, from 5 to 9 PM. (102 Kalmus, Costa Mesa, CA Get Directions.) I’m looking forward to the opening next weekend, and if you are in Orange County, I hope to see you there!
I always liked the steepness of this street, with its pile of buildings crowned with giant, shaggy date palms and a Victorian commercial building housing a yoga studio. The street is lined with a mix of architectural styles, with Victorian cottages at the bottom, 1920s Spanish Revival buildings that house holistic healing places halfway up, and an awesome 1960s Modern library on the opposite side.
I wound up choosing this vantage point because it was the easiest place to park while doing laundry. Lugging the laundry up the hill was not fun, but it was the perfect place, it turned out, to paint.
Also of note, there’s a great Naples-style pizza place right around the corner.
On to other topics.
I’m also excited to announce a solo show of my urban landscape paintings at the Lyceum Gallery!
House in Hillcrest
The Gallery is located at the San Diego Rep Theatre lower lobby, in Horton Plaza in downtown San Diego. The show will coincide with Clybourne Park. Opening night and reception, Friday January 18; the play starts at 8 PM. More details to follow.
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:
