Del Mar Fair 2015 San Diego Horticulture Exhibit

Here is the award winning SDHS Exhibit @ O'Brian Hall next to the entrance of the Paul Ecke Jr. Flower & Garden Show
The exhibit mural I painted is a view of the Alcazar Gardens in Balboa Park 

paint what you Love!


Here are two paintings from earlier this year. We have a lot of fun in the yard.
The views of the Mulberry tree hopefully show how varied its presence is throughout the seasons.
We installed a "gray-water" system and it has been super.
"Garden party" 8" x 16" oil on panel
"Mulberry tree looking east" 11" x 20" oil on panel

Garden in mid June

After so many projects this year I finally have some time to paint what I want.
Our yard has been a loyal and beautiful place these past 14 years. 
Going through stage #4 cancer it was always there with its birds, butterflies and Flowers.
This is the first in a series of Garden paintings I will be painting quickly these last few days of Spring.
The yard won't look like this in a month or two, it will be pretty dried out.
But then next Winter, with the help of El Nino it will be as lush as today.
