Lost and Kind of Found

In 1978 I had a necklace that was an open star form with a very bright, shining little diamond on the edge as shown in this picture of me. How disappointed I was when I realized I had lost this necklace while on a trip with my husband. Surely I could see about having...

Bird Rock Scene, San Diego, CA

Watercolor sometimes brings happy accidents and surprises.  If the water in the paint runs in a different direction as it dries, then the result is like a little flower bloom.  Sometimes  a watercolor painter can actually make these kinds of results, and sometimes...

KUSI Interview

I am a member of the East County Art Association and when we had our gallery on Main Street in El Cajon, we got to be on the news, KUSI. Mr. Rod Luck came to interview some of us that early morning and I felt so privileged to be selected to be one of the artists that...

Linda Verdon’s Potting Shed

A friend of mine invited me to come paint her gray potting shed in her gorgeous back yard. She loved the wisteria that was in bloom near the shed and so I got that painted in to her liking. In a few years she decided to paint the shed a different color, this time,...

Sharp Grossmont Hospital View

I am recovering from back surgery at this time. It’s a slow process and I’m glad to be back home, but of all things, I can’t believe what happened to me while I was in the hospital. I had a nice view from my window while at Grossmont hospital and...

Big Rock Park, Santee, CA

Mollison Ave. On-Ramp, El Cajon, CA

When ever I find an odd looking tree I have to get a photograph of it. It is an odd thing to collect, but ever since my art teacher taught me to look for a symbolic characteristic or an attitude of a tree that is what I am aware of.   For instance, a coy school...

Lake Jennings at Old Hwy. 80

It took me ten years to get around to it. I took a photo of a residence on Old Hwy. 80 in San Diego county. It was such a nice setting, like the old houses that were around when I was a kid. While I was doing my photoshoot across the street with my telephoto lens, out...

Mission Gorge Rd., Santee, CA

It was a  morning after a very dramatic thunder storm in the night and the dark clouds were still lingering but trying to clear away. I’m driving down the road after visiting my in-laws on Mission Gorge Rd in Santee, CA. (1997) I wish I had a camera in hand,...
