South City High School Water Color Painting
$50

Starting bid

This watercolor painting captures the auditorium building at South San Francisco High School with a clean, structured composition and a strong sense of school pride.

The building is centered and frontal, giving it a balanced, symmetrical feel. The vivid blue contrasts sharply with the softer neutral tones of the building and sky, drawing the viewer’s eye immediately to the name.

In the foreground, blue benches and rectangular planters frame the walkway, creating strong horizontal lines that echo the building’s architecture. A tree to the right, painted with loose, expressive brushwork in greens and warm browns, adds organic movement and softness against the rigid grid of windows.

The sky itself is rendered in gentle washes of blue and white, with soft clouds that lend a calm, open atmosphere that captures the physical structure of the auditorium and shows the pride and everyday life at South City High School.

This painting depicts a calm, scenic view of El Camino High School rendered in a soft watercolor style.

The building stretches diagonally across the composition from left to right, featuring a repeating pattern of sharp, triangular rooflines that create a rhythmic architectural silhouette. The muted browns and grays of the structure contrast gently with the airy sky above, which fades from pale blue to soft white with subtle cloud textures. Two small birds fly in the distance, adding a sense of openness and scale.

The steps create strong leading lines that guide the viewer’s eye from the bottom right up toward the gym. The greenery below is painted in loose, expressive washes of yellow, green, and touches of reddish-purple, suggesting wild plants and flowers rather than carefully manicured landscaping.

The overall mood feels peaceful and reflective, blending structured geometry with natural softness.

This watercolor painting portrays the South San Francisco Municipal Services Building (MSB) at dusk, bathed in warm evening light.

The structure is composed of clean, angular forms, with a prominent slanted roofline drawing the eye upward toward a tall tower on the right.

The sky behind the building is softly blended with pastel hues—pale blues, warm peaches, and gentle pinks—suggesting sunset. The building itself is rendered in warm earth tones, which glow subtly under the painted streetlights. Small pools of yellow light from the lamps and the illuminated entryway add warmth and life to the scene.

In the foreground, potted shrubs, low landscaping, and slender trees add texture and balance to the strong architectural lines. Long shadows stretch across the pavement, reinforcing the time of day and adding depth.

Overall, the painting blends precise architectural detail with the softness of watercolor, creating a peaceful, dignified portrayal of a community landmark at twilight.

This watercolor painting captures the calm, welcoming exterior of Orange Memorial Pool in South San Francisco with a soft, atmospheric touch.

The composition centers on the low, mid-century modern building, rendered with clean horizontal lines and warm rust-colored roof trim that contrasts gently against the cool blue sky. Three round, glowing exterior lights punctuate the front façade, adding a sense of warmth and subtle symmetry. Tall evergreen trees frame both sides of the building, their layered brushwork giving them depth and texture. Raised concrete planters in the foreground guide the viewer’s eye toward the entrance, filled with low shrubs and greenery painted in loose, expressive strokes. The sky transitions from a richer blue at the top to lighter tones near the horizon, enhancing the airy, peaceful mood.

Overall, the painting blends architectural precision with loose, organic brushwork, conveying both the structure’s modern design and its integration into the surrounding landscape. It feels serene, inviting, and distinctly local.

Watercolor painting of Las Hijas del Gallo Bakery
$50

Starting bid

Las Hijas Del Gallo Bakery is a beloved Mexican-style bakery and neighborhood staple in South San Francisco known for its authentic and freshly baked goods. It’s especially popular for pan dulce—traditional Mexican sweet breads like conchas and marranitos—as well as savory items and specialty cakes.

This watercolor captures the neighborhood storefront with a quiet, slightly nostalgic atmosphere. The bakery sits centered in the composition, its modest facade framed by a pale blue sky and soft urban surroundings.

The sign at the top is the focal point: a hand-painted rooster in rich reds, blues, and golds.

The building itself feels well loved. The lower half is painted in warm terracotta tones, while the upper portion is off-white, subtly weathered. The glass reflects muted interior colors—hints of blues and browns—suggesting life inside without revealing detail.

The watercolor technique is loose yet controlled: soft washes define sky and walls, while fine ink-like lines articulate edges, grates, and architectural details. Subtle shadows fall across the sidewalk, grounding the building and giving it dimension. It is an affectionate portrait of a neighborhood bakery, rendered with warmth, texture, and a sense of everyday beauty.

It’s a favorite spot for locals craving authentic pan dulce or a sweet treat with coffee, and often busy in the mornings when breads come out of the oven.

Watercolor painting of Little Lucca's
$50

Starting bid

This watercolor depicts Little Lucca's as a modest, single-story neighborhood deli set along a quiet street. The building is painted in soft beige with red trim framing the windows and door, giving it a simple, welcoming character. The perspective angles down the sidewalk, where puddles reflect the muted sky. A wooden picnic bench sits along a fence to the right, partially tucked beside a dense green tree, suggesting a casual spot for outdoor lunches.

Though the structure appears unassuming, Little Luca’s is famous for its generously stacked sandwiches and devoted following. The painting captures that contrast—an ordinary exterior that quietly houses one of South San Francisco’s most beloved sandwich institutions.
