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.

I was very excited to paint the skyline from this spot. We’d driven past on Saturday when the clouds were super dramatic.

Virginia Farm Mud Puddle
Virginia Tech Farm Painting- for sale
I used to bike to work through the Virginia Tech farms in Blacksburg. It’s a hilly, green town- and this spot along my bike commute always grew a giant mud puddle after rain. Made quite the mess to bike through it, which I enjoyed!
