But overlooking North Park – for sale
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.
Speaking of which:
Saturday May 18, I’ll be at North Park Festival of Arts, in the juried artists area.

Booth J-24
On University Ave near Iowa St.

						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.
