Another Plein Air at the Art Walk, Little Italy
Fir Street, Little Italy
Today’s plein air painting from the Mission Federal ArtWalk in Little Italy, San Diego. There was an old lime green cottage next door to a dusky twilight Craftsman (maybe Victorian, I’m not sure)- right across from my booth. A perfect place to paint.

A cool grey morning with the marine layer overhead so I went with black and white for this drawing of the famed Crest Cafe in Hillcrest, San Diego. Drawn from life from the patio where I was eating breakfast across the street.

Someone asked why I mostly have paintings of East Beach. Well, the answer is we usually stay across the street at the Motel 6, which as I understand it once cost $6 per night.
The thing is, when you are a painter and you are traveling, you really HAVE TO GO PAINT or you will go insane but you don’t want to wreck everyone else’s vacation. I try to compromise.
So a typical Santa Barbara painting day is, I get up just before dawn and try to be on the beach as the sun is coming up, and then I have a solid five hours to paint before we move on to lunch or wine tasting in the Santa Ynez Valley. So I mostly, but not always, just walk across the street to East Beach.
And I could probably paint on this beautiful beach every single day.
