Just got back from 2 days painting in Laguna Beach. This one’s from Crystal Cove.
Just a couple of blocks away. I really like these long, sloping front lawns. The houses are great too, and have great views East over North Park.

Laguna
This might be a color study only or maybe I’ll finish it tomorrow. The light in Laguna and the water colors are different from San Diego, so I wanted to focus on capturing the changing light effects in a series of quick studies.

Cottages in Little Italy – San Diego – buy now
Here’s my painting from the Little Italy Art Walk last weekend. Thank you again to everyone who stopped by. I think I posted the one below already- the painting hasn’t been touched since the plein air session.

And working on the piece:

This Victorian cottage is across the street from where one of my drawing groups meets, in the East Village of San Diego. Before it was restored, it was a wreck, but it is beautiful now.
The before:

Like so many things, it just needed a little work.

I love these things.
Why does the concha appear to be floating? I propped it up in the back so I could see more of the top.
