San Diego Victorian House Painting
Victorian cottage painting For Sale
This Victorian cottage is across the street from where one of my drawing groups meets, in the East Village of San Diego. Before it was restored, it was a wreck, but it is beautiful now.
The before:
Like so many things, it just needed a little work.
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.

This salon in a great old Craftsman is across from my booth at Mission Federal Art Walk. I’m in 784 on Fir St, between India and Columbia Streets, and I’ll be there until 6 PM Sunday, doing another plein air painting. It should be another beautiful day in San Diego!

I always liked the steepness of this street, with its pile of buildings crowned with giant, shaggy date palms and a Victorian commercial building housing a yoga studio. The street is lined with a mix of architectural styles, with Victorian cottages at the bottom, 1920s Spanish Revival buildings that house holistic healing places halfway up, and an awesome 1960s Modern library on the opposite side.
I wound up choosing this vantage point because it was the easiest place to park while doing laundry. Lugging the laundry up the hill was not fun, but it was the perfect place, it turned out, to paint.
Also of note, there’s a great Naples-style pizza place right around the corner.
On to other topics.
I’m also excited to announce a solo show of my urban landscape paintings at the Lyceum Gallery!

Pink Victorian House in U Heights
Victorian house in University Heights, San Diego
This pink Italianate Victorian is, for me, the definition of real estate envy. I love the house and it’s in a great neighborhood- University Heights.
I really, really love these old houses. If I had the time, I’d become a realtor!
Craftsman House- Painting of San Diego
I like the steep pitch of the roof and the way this house (from the early 1900s?) seems to doze in its overgrown garden.
Rapp Saloon, Santa Monica Painting
I liked the way this old brick building (from 1875) was dwarfed by taller, newer structures around it. I was also intrigued by the atmospheric effects of the buildings in late afternoon light so close to the ocean.
This painting started as a drawing when we lost the car in Santa Monica. We’d parked on the fourth or fifth level of the garage- what we didn’t realize is there are several garages “near a J. Crew” which was my only point of reference. So after going all the way up and down two incorrect garages, we wound up in front of this building and I insisted I had to draw it. Mike went to find the car and left me to work on a sketch.
Time passed and I couldn’t get happy with the painting, so I abandoned it and forgot about it. More time passed, and my truck got broken into. While my GPS was stolen, this incomplete painting was not. I decided a square format would work better, so I started over and I wrapped it up today.
This painting is for sale.
