Skyline from Mission Hills, painted on location. for sale
I painted this about a year ago, on top of a pile of dirt that looked like a construction site but wasn’t. I’m curious if they ever built anything there. Great views, smells like the airport, I imagine the real estate listing would not say.

Also, terrifying street to drive on, BTW. Let alone to park; kudos to those brave drivers.
San Diego Skyline from Mission Hills – For Sale
I was very excited to paint the skyline from this spot. We’d driven past on Saturday when the clouds were super dramatic.
