Santa Barbara Nocturne

Santa Barbara Painting Nocturne Shoreline Park


The park above Leadbetter Beach in beautiful Santa Barbara, just before dawn. I’d gone to paint the beach and spent some time working here while the tide went out a little. What that entails is a headlamp, a clip on light on my painting surface, a Clif Bar and one of those cans of Starbucks espresso. The preliminary studies for this painting are from last winter.

Often we go on family vacations to Santa Barbara, so I try to fit in painting around the edges. This is one of those paintings. for sale

The Night The Chargers Won

San Diego Night Painting

One night last winter, the Chargers won a game or something, and the city lit up the library dome in the team colors. This will never happen again. The Chargers never win. for sale

This spot is a few blocks from my house in the Sherman Heights historic district. I went down to try to capture it.
