I moved about a month ago, and this is one of the first paintings of my new neighborhood. My new area is an old one- many houses around here were built between 1885 and 1920. According to the MLS, ours is from circa 1905, though I haven’t been down to the historical society to do any research. I hope to paint it soon.
This cat was just around the corner, in front of a grand Victorian.

Downtown Train, San Diego
