A rare site...La Jolla Cove without the swimmers! That's one of the best things about November here in San Diego. Once the Thanksgiving holiday weekend is over, and the tourists are safely winging their way home, our local beaches are somewhat deserted. The crisp, clear sky and pounding surf are all that remain of a week of too much turkey, too much shopping, and too much traffic. It's the perfect time to stroll the boardwalk and do a little tidepooling...

"Holiday at La Jolla Cove" is offered framed in a wide, dark brown plein air style frame with UV/non-glare museum glass. Ready to hang and enjoy. Purchase here and have it shipped to your door, or purchase here and pick up at my studio at Liberty Station and I'll refund the shipping. $365 + $35 to ship anywhere in the continental US or Canada. Updated 11/29/13: Sold to a new collector in Garden Plain, Kansas!

Daily Painters "Vineyard Road"

Fall is just around the corner, my favorite time of year,

for eating big fat bratwurst, and drinking pumpkin beer.

My favorite color palette, for painting vineyard scenes, 

it's just around the corner from spooky Halloween.

A time for piling firewood, and raking dry fall leaves,

this time of year is perfect for weekend days in threes.
