July in the Alley
A sun splashed alley in San Diego’s Hillcrest neighborhood. I love old buildings and the idiosyncratic way neighborhoods get built over time.
It’s a busy time in San Diego, with Comic Con winding down and the Pride celebration about to begin.
Happy July!
By the Library in University Heights
A steep street by the University Heights library. The Victorian building on the corner is a Yoga studio and next door to that… the laundromat. I’ve done several pieces here while waiting for my clothes.
Star Builders Supply Building, Little Italy
Do you love the industrial quality of this circa 1911 building as much as I do?
It’s currently vacant. There are so many great potential uses- restaurants, art studios and galleries, wine bar, boutique hotel. It’s right by the trolley stop too. Pretty great location.
When I was researching this building, wondering what it was, I discovered an evil plot to tear it down and put in a parking lot! What a travesty.
We could easily build the parking structure over top of Star Builders Supply with gigantic stilts, or perhaps incorporate the historic structure into a new construction. I hope it will be saved.

Little Italy Streetscape, San Diego
A street corner in Little Italy, San Diego. I think this is Kettner, but I’m not sure. That’s the famous Wyland mural on the building to the left. I spent a couple of hours walking around this neighborhood while I was getting my car worked on, and started this painting and a couple of others.
I like Little Italy. It’s a mix of Victorian and ultramodern, which I find very appealing… with great pizza and terrible parking.

Urban Landscape, San Diego – Oil Painting
This house and the garage- in the foreground- are Mission Revival in style, but due to the vantage point from the alley, they look like modernist white boxes. It is a strange but wonderful place. The front and sides are all different colors- pink and light green and taupe and beige for the different sides of the house and detached garage. But all close to pale so you don’t see it at first. After the recent rains, the yard is a green and gold carpet of California wildflowers.

Pink Sky Palm Trees – Landscape Painting
Pink Sky Palm Trees – California Landscape Painting
Landscape painting of 3 palm trees in silhouette against a night sky turned glowing pink from the lights of the stadium reflecting against the marine layer rolling in off the Pacific. This painting is from memory, trying to capture the colors of the evening landscape driving down towards Qualcomm Stadium in Mission Valley, San Diego, California. When I got home, I did a study in pastels, and completed the oil painting the next day.

Clouds in the Sky, San Diego- Original Oil Painting
Urban landscape painting of the rooftops of the North Park neighborhood.
Looking out over the tree tops of North Park from an alley high on a hill in San Diego, California. Puffy little clouds out in the distance over the desert.
I debated another sitting to develop the sky more, but decided against it.
Sunset Palms in Hillcrest
This original urban landscape painting is the view from my studio, facing north towards University Ave in Hillcrest, San Diego, California. A pink summer sunset.

Sunrise on Cypress Ave, San Diego
Sunrise urban landscape in Hillcrest, San Diego, California.
A rare clear dawn in my neighborhood. We usually have fog, or at least that’s my impression since let’s face it, I’m not usually up this early.
