I like the steep pitch of the roof and the way this house (from the early 1900s?) seems to doze in its overgrown garden.

Pink House and Palm Trees- San Diego Painting
A pink house in Hillcrest, seen from the alley behind, on a bright, sunny San Diego morning.
I like out- of- the- way places like this quiet alley, with a low jumble of rooftops and back yards… I like to paint places that look like they aren’t trying too hard to impress.

Painting of San Diego Eucalyptus Trees
A stand of Eucalpytus trees in Florida Canyon. I like places like this, where even though you’re in the middle of the city, you get soothing natural vistas.

Mission Valley Target Store- San Diego Oil Painting
The Mission Valley Target Store has an eerie presence, long and low at the end of its empty, early-morning parking lot.
Like yesterday’s painting of the termite tent, I’d had a somewhat perverse itch to paint the Target store for a long time. I’m not going to try to analyze it.

Morning in the Alley, Hillcrest- San Diego Painting
Morning glory vines draped on a fence in a sun-splashed Hillcrest alley. I do a lot of paintings of San Diego, and I especially enjoy out-of-the-way places like this one, with a strange cantilevered house festooned with flowers.

Our San Diego neighborhood- Hillcrest- is an eclectic mix of early 20th century house styles. I love this one, an Art Deco/ Mission Revival combination.

Farm and Clouds
Looking down from high hills over farms and fields below, in the Santa Ynez Valley near Santa Barbara.
This painting is the opposite of how I usually work. Usually I start small and then work large. But this time, I started with a big painting, which turned into a surly adolescent.
So I started over with a small sketch to try to figure out the composition.
