Wasted- A Repurposed Art Show
I painted a couple of recycled vinyl bags for Wasted, a repurposed art show that benefits environmental education here in inner city San Diego. It’s a great cause, it’s where I live, and something I really care about. The bags will be auctioned off at a fundraiser at Karl Strauss Brewery on March 28. Tickets are free, you can learn more on the event’s Facebook page.

Painted on location in Balboa Park.
This one took me 3 days on location, and another six months of staring at it before putting 2 dabs of paint and deciding it was done.

This one is from last year. It’s the patio surrounded by the several buildings of the Museum of Man.
While I was painting it in Balboa Park, my sister’s college friend from the East Coast went jogging by. I hadn’t known she lived here. I love coincidences like these.

One more day of heat + fires in the suburbs. The weatherpeople on TV say the weather’s cooling with a shift to a wind off the ocean, which should help the firefighters.
