But overlooking North Park – for sale
Just a couple of blocks away. I really like these long, sloping front lawns. The houses are great too, and have great views East over North Park.
Speaking of which:
Saturday May 18, I’ll be at North Park Festival of Arts, in the juried artists area.

A steep street curves up out of a canyon in the San Diego neighborhood of Mission Hills. I wound up here by accident because I took the wrong street; I’m glad I did.
U Heights Hill- Painting of San Diego
I’ve been making some changes to my process lately. One thing I’ve been trying, and I’m not sure if I think it’s successful, is drawing lines freehand instead of using a ruler. On the one hand, I like the sketchy quality that emerges. On the other, I like things to be crisp.
