Just a few months ago I found out about two local groups of artists that schedule paint-outs in my area. I've had so much fun trying this and it's something I've wanted to do for so long. It's wonderful to have paint-outs on my schedule now. It's been exciting, and a learning experience painting watercolors on site.
This is my watercolor of a very well known intersection in my city of South Pasadena, CA. The brick building has been painted many times by local artists. It would be terrific to have a show of all the paintings over the years. The business is Buster's, an ice cream and coffee "stop". They just had their 25th anniversary. I wanted to join the plein air artists I saw painting there many times. Finally got the chance! I'm showing here my painting as well as my actual view across the street.
There's a new Gold Line Metro stop at this intersection so there is always a lot going on. This is 9x12" including a narrow border.
