Gray August weather in SD. A little strange but what isn’t these days? A nice visit to Bird Sh** Rock in Ocean Beach #pleinairpainting #landscape #art #sandiego @bsky.art

House getting tented by where Emma’s dad walks with Ted #painting #art #pleinair #tentedfortermites #sandiego @bsky.art

A sudden June gloom in July #pleinairpainting #landscapepainting #oilpainting #fineart #art #sandiego @bsky.art

Beautiful and sunny on the cliffs with many tourists #pleinairpainting #landscapepainting #oilpainting #fineart #art #sandiego @bsky.art

Suddenly scorching sun! #pleinairpainting #landscapepainting #oilpainting #fineart #art #sandiego @bsky.art

A favorite overlook got some new signs the block the view #pleinairpainting #sandiego #oceanbeach #maygray #landscapepainting #oilpainting #fineart #art #california @bsky.art

Despairy Canary at Cabrillo National monument in San Diego. The palm weevil is spread by tree trimming equipment and although effective treatments exist, most people don’t bother #pleinairpainting #sandiego #cabrillo #springthing #landscapepainting #oilpainting #fineart #art #california @bsky.art

A little seascape #pleinairpainting #sandiego #cabrillo #springthing #landscapepainting #oilpainting #fineart #art #california @bsky.art

Cypress trees in Verona. It was very hot, and I think there was a frustratingly inaccessible church on the other side of this wall. #pleinairpainting #landscapepainting #oilpainting #fineart #art #italy #verona #italia @bsky.art

Having only the one paintbrush with me was sad but I don’t hate the outcome #pleinairpainting #sandiego #cabrillo #springthing #landscapepainting #oilpainting #fineart #art #california @bsky.art

Hoppy Easter! #painting #donut @bsky.art

An early morning Tuscan sketch from a few years ago. I’m not a morning person at all but I try to let jet lag work to my advantage #pleinairpainting #landscapepainting #oilpainting #fineart #art #italy #tuscany #toscana #italia @bsky.art

A Victorian mansion tented for termites. Villa Montezuma in San Diego #pleinairpainting #landscapepainting #oilpainting #fineart #art #pleinairpril #sandiego #tentedfortermites @bsky.art

One year ago we had an eclipse! #pleinairpainting #landscapepainting #oilpainting #fineart #art #pleinairpril #sandiego @bsky.art

This gas station was torn down and replaced by a bougie supermarket. A blast from the past #pleinairpainting #landscapepainting #oilpainting #fineart #art #pleinairpril #sandiego @bsky.art

I april fooled myself and forgot my paintbrushes. My painting rag promptly took flight due to the gale force winds and is now part of the Japanese garden where the cherry trees are blooming cheerily #pleinairpainting #landscapepainting #oilpainting #fineart #art #pleinairpril #sandiego @bsky.art

Dumpsters are the cows of urban painting. #pleinairpainting #landscapepainting #oilpainting #fineart #art #sandiego #california @bsky.art

Painting or whatever #pleinairpainting

Castel Sant’Angelo on a gray day #pleinairpainting #landscapepainting #oilpainting #fineart #art #rome #roma #italy #italia @bsky.art

Happy birthday, Venice! Today in 421, tradition tells us that the first stone of San Giacomo di Rialto was laid. The church was rebuilt in brick about a thousand years later. #pleinairpainting #landscapepainting #oilpainting #fineart #art #venice #venezia @bsky.art

Moody East Beach in Montecito, CA. #pleinairpainting #landscapepainting #oilpainting #fineart #art #artistsofbluesky #santabarbara #california @bsky.art

The Roman amphitheater in Verona, Italy. There was an Elton John concert that cost hundreds of euros so I didn’t go, but I could hear it from the apartment. #pleinairpainting #landscapepainting #oilpainting #fineart #art #verona #italy #italia @bsky.art

Painting of a suburban street in La Jolla, California #pleinairpainting #landscapepainting #oilpainting #fineart #art #sandiego #california @bsky.art

Apparently this is what I was painting a year ago today #pleinairpainting #landscapepainting #oilpainting #fineart #art #sandiego #california @bsky.art

Here I recreate for you the experience of Morro Bay, California. My paintbrush holder fell into the water, an offering to the Sea Witch #pleinairpainting #landscapepainting #oilpainting #fineart #art #morrobay #california @bsky.art

Windy! #pleinairpainting #landscapepainting #oilpainting #fineart #art #sandiego #california @bsky.art

Castel Sant’Angelo in Rome. You couldn’t see it from the roof deck, only from the rickety metal stairs to the roof deck. I put my paint box in a hanging flowerpot to make it work. #pleinairpainting #landscapepainting #oilpainting #fineart #art #roma #rome #italy #italia @bsky.art

The Bi-Rite in the Mission, San Francisco. We bought something there- a picnic? #pleinairpainting #landscapepainting #oilpainting #fineart #art #california #sanfrancisco @bsky.art

A blue house by the beach in San Diego #pleinairpainting #landscapepainting #oilpainting #fineart #art #california #sandiego @bsky.art

This was on the Russian River in Sonoma. The giant redwoods #pleinairpainting #landscapepainting #oilpainting #fineart #art #california #impressionism #sonoma @bsky.art

This is a sketch I did for a commission. There were five or six almost identical choices for the client. Whichever one they picked went on their boat. East beach in Santa Barbara #pleinairpainting #landscapepainting #oilpainting #fineart #art #artistsofbluesky #santabarbara #california @bsky.art

Painting of the woods in Hampstead Heath, London. I was on my way to visit the Vermeer at Kenwood House, where I also got a nice slice of cake #pleinairpainting #landscapepainting #oilpainting #fineart #art #london #england #impressionism @bsky.art

I liked these bushes in an older part of San Diego. #pleinairpainting #landscapepainting #oilpainting #fineart #art #sandiego #california #impressionism @bsky.art

A random corner in Chinatown I painted on a trip to LA that also featured a visit to the Velveteria (museum of Velvet Art), now sadly closed #pleinairpainting #landscapepainting #oilpainting #fineart #art #losangeles #california #impressionism @bsky.art

It was 104 in Córdoba but I was glad of the chance to paint the mezquita catedral from the Roman bridge. I’d written a paper about it back in college. #pleinairpainting #landscapepainting #oilpainting #fineart #art #cordoba #spain #impressionism @bsky.art

The alcazaba of Mérida, Spain. It was high noon and about 100 degrees. I don’t recall why I was so interested in this tree and trash can combo and my gallerist hated it #pleinairpainting #landscapepainting #fineart #art #merida #spain #Februarty #Februarty2025 @bsky.art

A few years back I was hired to paint scenes for a new hotel in Los Olivos. They didn’t want beach scenes, but I did some for fun. East Beach in Santa Barbara #pleinairpainting #landscapepainting #oilpainting #fineart #art #artistsofbluesky #santabarbara @bsky.art

An eruption in Halemaumau crater, Kilauea volcano. #pleinairpainting #landscapepainting #oilpainting #fineart #art #hawaii #kilaeua #halemaumau @bsky.art

Admittedly I have a thing for volcanoes, but seeing Maui from Hawai'i island was truly an amazing sight #pleinairpainting #landscapepainting #oilpainting #fineart #art #hawaii #maui #Februarty #Februarty2025 @bsky.art

Pretty sure this one is Lost San Diego- replaced by a concrete apartment building. The cacti were saved though. #pleinairpainting #landscapepainting #oilpainting #fineart #art #california #sandiego #Februarty #Februarty2025 @bsky.art
