Plein air painting in San Diego of La Jolla Cove. View from path near lifeguard headquarters. The movement of the water gave this painting it's own rhythm.La Jolla 24×30 oil
Painted this large piece after some small plein air sketches/studies at La Jolla cove, San Diego. It was a glorious day with pretty clouds in the distance. In the studio while painting this I could feel the warm sun and light breeze of that day.
Balboa Park 24×30 oil
Botanical pool at Balboa Park San Diego, California. The water reflected the ornate buildings while offering these
white and pink waterlillies.
Desert Snow Caps
Hunting for a good location to paint out near Palm Desert, I found this snow capped mountain with wild flowers in the foreground. When I look at this finished painting I can still feel how cold it was that day.
Desert Path
It was important to capture the light and shadows on the path of this desert scene. I found this tree along this path and thought it was beautiful to paint …..these eucalyptus are all over southern California.
Heisler Park, Laguna 8×10 oil
On location at Heisler Park, Laguna, California. Gorgeous weather to be painting outside in Laguna. The park has new stairs and walkways which make it easy and accessible to all. The views are spectacular.
Gazebo at Laguna 10×8 oil

Painted this on location at Heisler Park, Laguna Beach. Gorgeous day to be out painting, light breeze and lots of friendly people stoping to talk.
Sunset Surfing 16×16 oil
Watching my son surfing at a distance I captured the sillouetted figures against an intense sunset. I feel I captured the awesome peace of the ocean and how small us humans are in the massive ocean.
Dusk with Palms 24×30 oil
I love this time of day. It is relaxing and peaceful, reminding us to start slowing down for the evening.
El Morro 24×30 oil
Gorgeous view of beach from Crystal Cove parking lot. I painted a few small plein air paintings in this location and used them to create this larger 24×30.
Tumbleweed 24×30 oil
This was painted out near La Quinta, Ca. A favorite hiking place when we visit relatives in La Quinta. A better title would be “Tumbleweed someday”. These bushes have such a soft appearance visually but they are thorny to touch.
Desert Beauty 20×24 oil
I love how the desert light on the foliage makes a blanket of pale colors. This painting is out near Palm Desert.
Tuscany 48×72 Oil
Painting of Tuscany for school event. Huge canvas, so I took out the huge brushes and had fun!
Caspers Park, Ortega Hwy, 12×16 Oil
Caspers Park in San Juan Capistrano………this spot is a view from the one of the parking lots. Haven’t painted there in a while. All I think about when I paint there is mountain lions! If I paint there, I always stand near my unlocked car………just in case. Gorgeous greens after the rains.
Soccer Pep Talk 6×6 Oil
The bright red against green grass drew me to paint this scene. The red uniforms seemed to make unified statement against sun drenched grass. After playing fiercely the girls zone out listening to the coach.
