Two versions of the same branch of lemons, both versions completed alla prima (au premier coup).  It almost looks like a different artist did each of them, but I am doing some experimentation with paint application.

I have been wanting to capture the city fog in a painting.  Sometimes the fog comes in thick and really low, like ocean foam on a beach.  Its really beautiful and special.  I captured it here:

The 500 Club is another San Francisco classic bar both on the inside and the outside.  (its not open at 6 am anymore)

I wanted to go back to what I painted for a long time- still lifes.  Nothing fancy, just a quick afternoon study of a bowl of fruits.
