Ray Carpenter’s urban impressionist rendering of the iconic El Cortez Hotel bursts with energy and history. Built in 1927, the landmark towers over the colorful street signs of Ash and 7th, anchored by a graceful palm tree and framed by a dramatic, swirling sky. The piece captures both the grandeur of San Diego’s architectural gem and the lively rhythm of the city that surrounds it.
