Guest contributor Joseph Depuy, sensual and salty painter, tells us about his San Diego.

Artist/Painter
Northwest Clairemont
My San Diego is sensual, smooth, and salty! What’s not to love about why most people reside here, that beautiful salty place we call the ocean, those lovely little salty snacks called Edamame we find in the sushi houses that line Convoy street, or running the trails of Rose Canyon that was occupied by American Indians and then Mexican ranchers, of course I get a little sweaty and salty.
I feel pretty smooth riding my old bike with limited brakes in the mossy water canals along the I-5 and watching Pelicans fly along the coastline in La Jolla, wow those birds are as smooth as butter, you know? What’s a day without going to the UCSD library, not only one of the most amazing examples of stunning architecture in the city, but also an on point art department where I do a lot of concept research.
Oh and sensual, Tacos of course. I love tacos T.J. style. Rolling over to Los Palmitos in Clairemont for some asada, or oh Tacos El Gordo in Chula Vista for cabeza, and the taco truck that's in Joes 99 cent store parking lot in Linda Vista for some delicious adobada, yum.
How about the sensual swing of the suspension bridge in Bankers Hill, I used to drink beers there when I was a kid, wait, retract that I still do sometimes. Incredible view and feel to that historic bridge. Finally the view from the Glider Port south of Torrey Pines. It has amazing trails, gliders and birds and occasional jets whipping by overhead, a great place to hang out without alot of people around. Really sensual, smooth, and salty!!!!!
Joseph DePuy is a self taught painter who spent five years traversing the globe working in the music industry. The exposure to such a wide variety of cultures had a huge impact on his art and inspired him to research and explore other cultures and ideas foreign to the west.
You can catch his work at the Oceanside Museum of Art Oma Regional 5 opening September 23 – November 11. (One of 20 San Diego artists selected by a distinguished panel of jurors!) or at the Brand 36 National Juried Exhibition in Glendale, opening October 6 – November 15.

I've seen Mr. Depuy's paintings on the Internet and look forward to seeing his pieces in person! Of course, I will have to smuggle in some delicious San Diego tacos for this most anticipated event!
