Flowering Branch Painting – For Sale
This is an older painting, and I’ve always been fond of it. It’s of the flowering pears (maybe cherries) in Balboa Park.
I hope to do more paintings of the pears this year when they come into flower, which should be soon. I’m also very excited to have more mobility soon… may be buying a new truck! Well, used but new to me. I look forward to doing more paintings outside the neighborhood.

“Places Here,” a show of my San Diego urban landscapes, will open January 18 at the Lyceum Gallery in downtown San Diego.
Sunset in Hillcrest – For Sale
The coastal clouds rolled in at nightfall and turned pink with the city lights. This is from a series of plein air night paintings I did last year. Despite the winter chill (low 60s, brr!), it’s easy to get into night paintings this time of year, when it’s just about fully dark around 5.
Victorian house in University Heights, San Diego
This pink Italianate Victorian is, for me, the definition of real estate envy. I love the house and it’s in a great neighborhood- University Heights.
I really, really love these old houses. If I had the time, I’d become a realtor!
Gladiolus Still Life Painting
Pink gladioli.
French Macarons Still Life Painting
One of my favorite desserts.
Miniature Giraffe Painting
Just your typical giraffe on a foot stool.
The house behind this fence, beautifully bursting with bougainvillea, is for sale. It’s an old Craftsman with intact original windows- and no parking! For me, lack of parking is not a deal breaker (I travel by hot air balloon).
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.
More of my paintings of San Diego, California at my Etsy shop.
Mounds of bougainvillea like this are one of my favorite painting subjects. I also enjoy painting recycling bins!
San Diego Landscape Painting is for sale.
Pink Sky Palm Trees – California Landscape Painting
Landscape painting of 3 palm trees in silhouette against a night sky turned glowing pink from the lights of the stadium reflecting against the marine layer rolling in off the Pacific. This painting is from memory, trying to capture the colors of the evening landscape driving down towards Qualcomm Stadium in Mission Valley, San Diego, California. When I got home, I did a study in pastels, and completed the oil painting the next day.
SOLD.

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.
