SAN DIEGO SKYLINE, watercolor

SAN DIEGO SKYLINE from Harbor Island, watercolor on Arches paper, 9x12 in. Painted plain air last week a day that the light was constantly changing. The sky, the clouds, and the sun, were playing hide and seek the entire morning!

We recently took a tour-cruise on the San Diego Harbor, and learned that "Harbor Island" didn't exist a hundred years ago. It was created with the accumulation of silt and rocks from the bottom of the bay, to deepen the San Diego Bay. Now there are some beautiful hotels, restaurants, parks, yatch club, it is a lovely ride with a gorgeous view of the San Diego skyline.

LA JOLLA SHORES, WINTER, watercolor on Aquaboard

LA JOLLA SHORES, WINTER, watercolor on Aquaboard, 14x18 in.
Available for purchase.

Driving down La Jolla Shores street last week, in La Jolla, California, I saw this magnificent view of the Pacific Ocean and San Diego Bay. The trees are full of red, orange and yellow leaves, people walking and exercising. This is WINTER, for goodness sakes! Yet the colors are not winter-like. I painted this watercolor on an Aquaboard for watercolor, a new experience for me. It felt weird, but it took the watercolor well. Later I varnished it with spray varnish.
