Gaslamp Quarter Painting San Diego

A small plein air pen and ink with acrylic in downtown San Diego. This is the view from floor 6 of the Horton Plaza parking structure. I painted this last year, on a hot windy day in winter. Today I went back in a silver rain and thought of this piece. Painting watercolor in the rain, of course, being a futile endeavor.

Fruit and Vegetable Garage Horton Plaza Gaslamp San Diego

A strange parking garage in downtown San Diego. for sale

Horton Plaza is pretty strange: five or six stories of open-air arcades and colonnades and zigzagging staircases, Gap stores and magnet schools, as postmodern as you could imagine and painted in the brightest oranges and pinks. This is the even stranger parking garage for Horton Plaza- The Fruit and Vegetable Garage. The garage is like something out of Escher, mazelike and disorienting and full of these colorful signs.
