ABOUT THE ARTWORK
I had so much fun creating this painting! I was out with some artist friends for a plein air paint-out at night. We chose Balboa Park in San Diego for our location because Balboa Park was celebrating its centennial. The park and all of its buildings have been beautifully restored to mark the occasion. This is an image of the San Diego Museum of Art. If you were to see this building in the evening, it is stunning with all of the architectural details and the spotlights on the front of the building. I named this painting "Jewel in the Park" because this building reminds me of a sparkly jewel, and is one of the main buildings in the park. I really like how my vibrant colors and brushstroke simulate a jewel-like quality. As most artists will admit, not every painting is a winner. On this particular evening, some of the museum security guards were puzzled as to why we were painting at night with limited light to help us see. But that is also the fun of painting at night under the skies. You never know what you're going to get. Luckily, I'm really happy with how the colors dance on the canvas for this one. Enjoy!
Painting is unframed. Painting can be hung with or without a frame, depending on buyer's preference. Hanging wire is installed in the back.

I am an oil painter living in San Diego. I often find inspiration through “places” such as landscapes, seascapes, and urban scenes because of my love for travel, and because there is so much wonder and color in our natural world. I paint because I love it, plain and simple. Painting makes me happy, and it reminds me of these many places and objects I’ve seen. But I also paint to share that vision in my mind with others. My hope is to offer some reminders, in a whimsical colorful way of the delightful images that already surround us. My paintings include scenes which I hope will foster a sense of joy and relaxation, and will create places of memory which we can revisit again and again. Being an artist in beautiful San Diego, living close to beaches and many hiking trails, has allowed me to create a lot of plein air paintings inspired by the natural surroundings in the area. My daytime profession is in healthcare, but my artful spirit calls me to create again and again for over 30 years. Thank you for enjoying my work.
