A month or so ago the Saturday paint-out group met in a quaint neighborhood of South Pasadena. Since I've lived in South Pasadena for many years I'm always noticing views that might be fun to paint so it was a treat to have our city as the location. This area of the town is the oldest section and still shows its rustic roots...very picturesque to plein air painters of course. But, sometimes it's hard to decide what to paint. There is a wonderful alley but I didn't see where I could be out of the way. Plus a barking dog just didn't want a painter there. After walking around for quite awhile looking for a view to try, I settled on the space between two homes with lots of great details. I always like palm trees, cacti, and telephone lines!

Love this Sherry - this kind of setting just reaches me - I always remember the one you did of a house with a green lawn chair - great job!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Joani! The green lawn chair piece was a long time ago! :-)
DeleteOne of my all time favorites, though!
DeleteI meant to add that the figures really make it!
ReplyDeleteThanks again...I always try to add figures or a squirrel at least.
DeleteWow, so pretty, Sherry. Actually much nicer than you original photo! It's nice to see greenery during the winter. Right now, we're covered under 2 feet of snow.
ReplyDeleteThanks Terry! I do remember snow here many many years ago...
DeleteYeah, yeah, Sherry - ha ha ha! I remember those great CA winters - miss them!
