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 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.
