It was 104 in Córdoba but I was glad of the chance to paint the mezquita catedral from the Roman bridge. I’d written a paper about it back in college. #pleinairpainting #landscapepainting #oilpainting #fineart #art #cordoba #spain #impressionism @bsky.art

The alcazaba of Mérida, Spain. It was high noon and about 100 degrees. I don’t recall why I was so interested in this tree and trash can combo and my gallerist hated it #pleinairpainting #landscapepainting #fineart #art #merida #spain #Februarty #Februarty2025 @bsky.art

A few years back I was hired to paint scenes for a new hotel in Los Olivos. They didn’t want beach scenes, but I did some for fun. East Beach in Santa Barbara #pleinairpainting #landscapepainting #oilpainting #fineart #art #artistsofbluesky #santabarbara @bsky.art

Painting of the tulip chairs outside the Posh Wash laundromat. I think we can agree that there is nothing posh about it #pleinairpainting #landscapepainting #oilpainting #fineart #art #sandiego #california #impressionism #urbanlandscape @bsky.art

A few years ago someone offered me a wine country stay in exchange for a painting of the property. But I forgot my canvases at home and had to go into town, where I found this less pastoral scene. #pleinairpainting #landscapepainting #oilpainting #fineart #art #california #santaynez @bsky.art

This is the view at dawn of the Oltrarno area of Florence, from the kitchen of an apartment I stayed in a while back. There were a lot of church bells in this place; it was fun #pleinairpainting #landscapepainting #oilpainting #fineart #art #firenze #florence

Back in 2019 I painted this as a quick demo for my painting students. I like to bring a box of donuts for the first day of class, especially if it's a dreaded morning class. #oilpainting #fineart #art #Februarty #donut #contemporaryart #stilllifepainting @bsky.art

A few years ago, Venice had a policy that you needed a permit to paint in St Mark's square. This wasn't enforced before dawn though, which is when I painted this view. #pleinairpainting #landscapepainting #oilpainting #fineart #art #venice #venezia #Januarty #Januarty2025 @bsky.art
