Transamerica Pyramid from Russian Hill – buy now
Another from my trip to San Francisco. I enjoyed watching the light change on the buildings as they swoop up and down the hills. Do buildings swoop?

Layover at LAX – For sale
In the basically colorless space of the terminal, her pink dress caught my attention.
San Francisco Painting, Mission
Mission Morning – for sale
Painted over breakfast in the Mission. With gray fog shrouding the skies overhead, everything was bleached and pale.
We agreed this building was a polluted seafoam color, and that it would be much better in the painting to change it to a nice, clean seafoam color.

Really perfect weather in San Francisco.
Alcatraz
From Pier 41 – for sale
A beautiful day in San Francisco. I took a little too much advantage of the great weather to visit many steep hills, where I did a few paintings and took many photos for later reference.
My legs now feel like, well, meat jelly. Today, breakfast in the Mission, then Legion of Honor.
Ferry Building, San Francisco Embarcadero
Ferry Building – for sale
The Ferry Building in San Francisco, morning light. Painted over breakfast at a Starbucks patio on a pier.
On my current travels, I decided to travel light. I’m working in water media in San Francisco, and left my oil paints, plein air kit, and easel at home.
Coit Tower, San Francisco
Telegraph Hill- buy now
The Golden Hour on Telegraph Hill in San Francisco, painted from the Embarcadero.
Such a beautiful city; it really is postcard-perfect.
I’m working in gouache here. I wanted to bring my oils but it’s such a drama flying with them. I like gouache as a substitute for oils, you can layer them similarly and the small tubes are great for your one-quart carry-on bag.
Tamale Shop in Golden Hill, San Diego
Golden Hill, San Diego – for sale
Saturday afternoon found me at a laundromat. I like clean clothes. I did not exactly plan this series that’s developed of paintings outside laundromats, but it has happened, and I like it.
This particular laundromat is in Golden Hill. Although Golden Hill is a chichi area with extremely expensive Victorian homes, the laundromat turned out to be a dank hole. It does, however, possess the critical amenity of ample parking and it has this tamale shop stuck under an awning right beside it.
I loved the tamale shop and the awning immediately and I had to paint it.

Nice spot for a walk.
My cousin came from out of state for a Disneyland trip, and we met him at a beachfront pizza place in San Clemente. Well not strictly beachfront, but you could see the water.
