Landscape painting of summer morning light in Balboa Park, San Diego, California. I love to walk the trails here.
Along the hiking trail in Tecolote Canyon, San Diego, California. I really respond to the golden grass contrasted with the green California live oaks. When I lived in Virginia, that was the look of a winter landscape- but here that is the look of summer.

The makings of a top shelf guavarita.
Original still life painting of a guava and a lemon. It smelled great while I was painting it, which took a couple of days. Inspired by Euan Uglow, I left the measuring marks visible in the finished piece.
Original still life painting of three oranges. We’ve got a big bowl of mandarin oranges in the kitchen right now. For years I have loved painting fruit- I must have painted hundreds of paintings of bananas.

Cadbury Mini Eggs Easter Candy Still Life Painting 1
I just realized I forgot to post this one. It was the first Easter Candy painting I did this year. The Cadbury Mini Eggs are my favorite- and with one week to go to Easter I’m on my third bag. 😉

Leaving the pet sitting house today. I think my cat is going to miss the birds in the canyon.
Here’s a closeup of the older painting of mine- probably from 2008 or so.
This piece is 24 x 24 inches. I used to work much larger than I currently do. I mean, I do still do the occasional large painting for a commission- big paintings can really breathe life into a room- but I’ve been into small-scale works in a big way for at least a year now. Sometimes I still feel the urge to paint six foot canvases though! Maybe of San Diego Brutalist architecture, which has caught my eye lately.
I remember with this painting I felt very bold and rebellious for using black out of the tube. It was Utterly Forbidden when I was in art school.
OK, going to pack things up and head out. I am itching to get to my easel.
Urban Landscape, San Diego – Oil Painting
This house and the garage- in the foreground- are Mission Revival in style, but due to the vantage point from the alley, they look like modernist white boxes. It is a strange but wonderful place. The front and sides are all different colors- pink and light green and taupe and beige for the different sides of the house and detached garage. But all close to pale so you don’t see it at first. After the recent rains, the yard is a green and gold carpet of California wildflowers.

Marshmallow Easter Peeps Painting
Last year I painted the classic pink chicken Peeps and this year I went for the bunny rabbit Peeps. Easter season is still young, so maybe I’ll go back for another color.
People love Easter Peeps or they hate them – I love the way they look.
Still life painting of a glazed donut. We had bad weather in San Diego last week so I stayed inside painting baked goods, hoping for some California sunshine.
