Solona Beach Plein Air Painting

The Fiesta Del Sol Festival was a great success and it was nice to meet new people and share my artwork with them. It was a great 2 day event with wonderful live music and some very interesting vendor booths. I sold 6 original paintings along with signed prints and greeting cards.
Here is one of my latest local scenes painted on location in Solona Beach.

Baby Dove

Here is a cute photo of the baby dove, a rare view without the Mother sitting on top of her!
The nest is outside the living room and its been constantly occupied, a happening nest!

Brown Eyes

I met this cute little girl while I was painting in Balboa Park and I asked her Dad if I could take her photo and he said yes...so cute, she was asking about my painting in Spanish and of course I haven't learnt the language yet...its on my to do list. She was so adorable so I had to paint her. I've always thought it would be so much fun to have a daughter ;-) well at least I get to paint kids whenever I feel like it ;-)

USS Midway

Headed to the USS Midway on Sunday morning to meet some fellow watercolor painters. I've always wanted to see it so it was a fantastic morning. Thats me in the cockpit with my flight mate! I painted the view from the upper deck looking down on the statue of the Victory Kiss.
It was great to be outdoors painting and what a view.
Groups of school kids were packing up care packages for the boys in Iraq, tons of kids and tons of gifts all done to live music. What a great day!
