I did this little painting and posted on my daily blog.  I thought it was working pretty well so I did a larger version, adding a few details.

I Painted at the Montage resort with a few friends from SOCALPAPA, it was overcast all day until I got in my car to head home...then the sun came out!  Oh well, I like to paint on overcast days, even though it was pretty cold in the morning.

Here is another painting I did at the North Park Plein Air Festival.  The sun really lights up the salmon hue of this church in the afternoon.  I had noticed it earlier in the week and made a sketch.  Then I returned on Monday afternoon to make this painting.

I painted this one yesterday morning for the North Park Plein Air Festival.  Sorry if it's out of focus, but I shot it on the street as I finished it and rushed off to do another painting.  I didn't get a chance to shoot the others, so I will post them when the show is over.  If you are interested, the show is at the San Diego Art Department,  3830 Ray Street-near Balboa Park. All pieces are displayed this weekend, and then the juried show will continue until June 14th.

I painted this one this morning again at La Creza winery.  I liked that fountain when I was painting yesterday and wanted to do another with it as the focus.


I painted this one yesterday at La Creza Winery.  I really liked the light hitting that gazebo and the grape vines.

I thought this painting looked lonely so added some people and cleaned up a few areas.
