Hillcrest San Diego Pencil Drawing- of the Pinkberry
Pencil drawing of Hillcrest- buy now
I drew this over breakfast this AM on the patio tables at Einstein’s Bagels in Hillcrest. This is the Pinkberry. Halfway through the drawing someone came and parked a gigantic pickup truck right in front of me. I had to keep standing up and peering over its enormity to finish the drawing.
I’d intended to do a watercolor painting this morning, but the cap had come off my pen inside my bag and it dried out. And though the art store is just across the street, it stubbornly did not open in time to buy a new pen. So I worked in graphite.

Church in Golden Hill, San Diego
Church in Golden Hill- for sale
A plein air painting of a church- I think maybe a church converted to apartments, but I’m not sure- in Golden Hill, San Diego.
The church is Art Deco, I believe is the correct architectural period, but this painting session got shortened and I left out most of those deco details. It got fiercely hot on the hill on this January day, and even despite the UV umbrella, the UV hat, the special UV blocking shirt, I just felt like I was frying in my skin. My freckled, European skin. So I bailed! No deco for you.

Sunrise on Cypress
Sunrise on Cypress Avenue in San Diego – For Sale
A rare clear morning. So close to the ocean we usually have fog, or at least that’s my impression since let’s face it, I’m not usually up this early.
This is a painting of my street.
Not up quite this early today to meet other painters in the California Art Club on the beach at Coronado, right by the Hotel Del.
I wanted to do a painting of the hotel also, but was running late for a parade in North Park!
I enjoyed the samba dancers:
