Shapes and colors collide, light up and sparkle the sky
The buildings move their bulky masses in the dark
Peeping light through winking windows- they shimmer

The deep blue sky sings a lullaby to the night …
and the night whispers its hello to streets full of light

Close your eyes a little – just enough to take in
the wonderful magic the night blesses us with~

Feel the color and the excitement! San Diego is ALIVE! The nucleus of San Diego is the famous Gaslamp District, where the streets guide you forward, alive with energy. Swimming with restaurants and people ready to embrace the night, the old gaslamps flicker and dance revealing their illumination.

A child is born. A journey begins. I created this painting to embrace the child in all of us; to celebrate children everywhere, young and old; and, to capture a colorful snapshot of our incredible journey called Life. The buildings represent the many places we will live and travel to in our lifetimes - a new window to the world. The musician with his guitar sings softly, radiantly after all, what would the world be without music and art? And we see the children riding that challenging tightrope of life. As they move up the ladder, they know better than us all that it takes giving each other a hand to reach the top. Their world is filled with birds carrying the message of peace as children everywhere spread seeds of change that will surely fertilize the world with love. Each child deserves a chance to climb this ladder called Life. Every child deserves a life filled with laughter, learning, and love.

A night out in your favorite city, you are ready to paint the town. The colorful streets guide you forward- swimming with restaurants and people ready to embrace the evening. The night is yours and it’s sure to be one to remember.

This couple is memorized by the light in each other's eyes, the Paris sun has just slipped away- but the glowing lights from the Eiffel tower and streetlights offer their magical glow to the dark blue sky. Holding each other's wine in offering- they never take their eyes off each other knowing this is just the beginning of a night to remember.
