Walked up 19th Street to the new coffee shop, which does not ever seem to be open. (And it wasn’t.) The evening light looked like Armageddon.

Coronado Beach Painting
Buy now.
Coronado on a sunnier day than today. I won’t pretend to love the rain, being just as neurotic as any Californian about it, but I do like this: when it rains, the Eucalyptus tree that hangs alarmingly over the roof makes the whole place smell like a spa.
Boats, Coronado Watercolor
Painted last March at the beach in Coronado.
Autumn Leaves, Temecula
California autumn, in the Temecula Valley. This piece is available, beautifully framed, through Randy Higbee Gallery.

Mission Beach Roller Coaster

The Giant Dipper in Mission Beach… painted on location. I could hear the people on the roller coaster screaming, and I could also hear weirdos in the park screaming various epithets.
Plaça del Rei, Barcelona Painting
Buy Now
Home of the City Museum of Barcelona. Underneath the Plaça del Rei there are Roman ruins… I spent too much time drawing down there and couldn’t finish the history tour upstairs before the museum closed. But I successfully argued they should let me in a second day- “I thought the ticket was good for a year,” I kept repeating until they gave up and let me in.
Ciutadella, Barcelona
Buy Now
Not sure what this place is, an attractive neoclassical court with trees planted in a pattern.
Since it’s at the edge of the Ciutadella park- formally a citadel- this might be an antique building, but is quite likely a 20th century structure in a historicizing style.
