Painting of still life with baguette. The delicious end of the loaf of french bread… that turned hard as a rock and made its way into art.

Sunset in Balboa Park

Here’s another piece from earlier in the year, that I couldn’t get a decent picture of until recently. This is one of the canyons in Balboa Park, a couple of streets away from my house.

I painted this apple still life a couple of months ago, but made a mistake and it didn’t get posted here at the time. So here it is!!
Fog in the City, San Diego
Fog in the City- For Sale
A scene of fog out the front window.
I started this 4×4 painting last winter, but it got messed up and didn’t dry fast enough, so I did another version in purple.
The 4×4 went into a stack of unfinished work. I found it the the other day and it seemed like a fun project to finish it.
San Diego Nocturne
San Diego Nocturne –For sale
This is an older plein aire nocturne from last winter, when I did several night paintings. I never got around to publishing this one because the combination of the dark colors and the shininess led to flash glare, wrong colors, and sadness. Here’s my heroic effort to finally photograph this piece.
Industrial Landscape 2
Industrial Landscape, San Diego
A midcentury industrial building off Convoy in San Diego. I love this area with its acres of asphalt and modern architecture.
Georgia Street Bridge, San Diego Painting
Georgia Street Bridge, San Diego Painting
From the southeast corner of University Ave, in Hillcrest, looking up at the retaining walls of the Georgia St bridge over the avenue. This painting was a long time coming. I started it last winter and pulled it out periodically since then, working, wiping off the paint, giving up for a while.
Most recently I made one of my feeble efforts to clean the studio and found the painting again and I thought SURELY THIS TIME I can finish.
Rapp Saloon, Santa Monica Painting
I liked the way this old brick building (from 1875) was dwarfed by taller, newer structures around it. I was also intrigued by the atmospheric effects of the buildings in late afternoon light so close to the ocean.
This painting started as a drawing when we lost the car in Santa Monica. We’d parked on the fourth or fifth level of the garage- what we didn’t realize is there are several garages “near a J. Crew” which was my only point of reference. So after going all the way up and down two incorrect garages, we wound up in front of this building and I insisted I had to draw it. Mike went to find the car and left me to work on a sketch.
Time passed and I couldn’t get happy with the painting, so I abandoned it and forgot about it. More time passed, and my truck got broken into. While my GPS was stolen, this incomplete painting was not. I decided a square format would work better, so I started over and I wrapped it up today.
This painting is for sale.
Eucalyptus Woods at Nightfall
Climbing a steep hill in the woods, with twilight painting the Western sky.
The eucalyptus trees in San Diego are some of my favorite painting subjects.

July in the Alley
A sun splashed alley in San Diego’s Hillcrest neighborhood. I love old buildings and the idiosyncratic way neighborhoods get built over time.
It’s a busy time in San Diego, with Comic Con winding down and the Pride celebration about to begin.
Happy July!
