    Off Track Gallery - 2026 Mother's Day Art, Studio & Garden Tour

    This review is for the 'Mother's Day Weekend Art, Garden & Studio Tour' which is hosted by the San…read moreDieguito Art Guild/Off Track Gallery. I hope this review helps someone who is thinking about doing the tour. My mom and I enjoyed a wonderful day out touring 8 home gardens in the Encinitas area (2026). (A couple of the homes were in Carlsbad and one was in Olivenheim, the remainder were in Encinitas). I purchased the tickets on-line prior to the tour and showed the e-mail at the first house stop, where we received a color printed booklet that would be our ticket for the remainder of the tour. The booklet had a description and photo of each house, along with ads for the artists. You also have the option to pick up your booklet at the Off Track Gallery in Encinitas. The drive between some houses was a couple of minutes, and as much as about 8 minutes for others. This is where your GPS comes in handy! You can follow the order suggested in the booklet. I had studied the map before arrival and slightly adjusted the order for our convenience. Curb parking was always easy. Many of the houses featured pools. Some had art studios. One had chickens and goats. Another had some garden art and a photo opportunity. Some had views to die for. All of them featured a variety of plants, trees, flowers, succulents, cacti, shrubs, along with art vendors selling their wares and a table of finger foods. The variety of art ranged from jewelry, paintings and ceramics to mosaics, photography and fabric arts. Prices started at about $10 and went up into the hundreds and everything in between. All the talented vendors were very friendly and welcoming, although we felt bad when we walked away without buying something. We also met a couple of the house owners who were interesting to talk to. The complimentary food included fruit, crackers and cheese, cookies, cake, chips, hummus, water, lemonade and more. It was lovely to graze the food and sit for a bit and enjoy the surroundings. The home gardens were open between 10am and 4pm. We started at 10am and finished about 3:15pm. This included one house that permitted us to also see the interior, which was a pleasant surprise. We also stopped at a local grocery store to use the restroom as only one home had an available restroom for use. I highly recommend this tour if you get a chance. It's a unique way to spend Mother's Day weekend and you may see parts of San Diego that you've never seen before. It was definitely an eye opener to 'How the other half live'! You do quite a bit of walking and 'in and out of the car', so by the end you're quite tired, but my 78 year old mom did it! Be sure to wear comfy shoes and sun protection. Some areas of the gardens do offer shade, but not all. The photos attached are from the 2026 tour. I understand the homes change each year. We hope to visit the Off Track Gallery at a later date as it was closed by the time we got there after the tour, but we could see wonderful creations through the window. Helpful?

    I love Off Track Gallery! Whenever I am looking for an original gift, I can always find something…read morehere. The gallery consists of a co-op of artists that rent space there to showcase their talent. They have everything from pictures to pottery and everything in between. I am big on buying from locals and supporting small business which is another reason that I like shopping here.

    If consciousness is infinite and these paintings are made in consciousness, what do you think these…read morepaintings are? The first time I saw "New Earth" and read the poem accompanying it, I felt an immediate energetic upliftment. A fleeting thought passed through my mind of "that would be nice to purchase it" but I didn't think I would actually end up doing just that! I have never purchased art before this piece - I appreciate art, yes- absolutely. I visit museums and enjoy art galleries, I love making my own art, but I am no art collector (or maybe I am now?!) I inched towards making this purchase very slowly and cautiously. I gave it little "tests" of time. I asked the price, then said no on a few separate occasions. I kept thinking, if its really and truly mine, it will wait for me. No need to rush. This painting was like a gentle tug on the sleeve of my soul... not aggressive or loud in any way, just a quiet message of "I'm still here, I'm waiting for you." I really love this painting so much. It resonates so deeply with my being. I don't know exactly how it was created, or where its going, but I feel very blessed to have come into alignment with this particular creation. It uplifts me, it heals me and it reminds me of my purpose. Thank you, David, for serving as a vessel! Your work is amazing! Keep up the good work!

    From the owner: Paintings for the Soul are more than just beautiful pieces of abstract art. They're multilayered…read morepaintings energized with an intention to heal and grow. Just as you're multi-layered, so are these paintings. Each painting couples with a poem that speaks to the theme of the painting. Some theme examples are; self-expression, self-love, abundance and connection with something greater. As I paint I take pictures of these layers and provide these pictures to you, along with a copy of the poem, when purchased. I've enjoyed hearing many touching stories about how these paintings and poems have impacted the buyer. I'm inspired by the deeper levels and layers of the human being; the emotions, sensations and feelings going on beneath the surface. I believe that these deeper aspects of people is what drives their daily habits, routines and behaviors. I've spent many years diving into the depths of my own being and I draw on that depth and experience to create Paintings for the Soul.
