It's fun to take the local light rail for a plein air paint-out at Union Station in downtown Los Angeles. It's a beautiful landmark building, opened in 1939. There is a stunning main waiting room with tall windows reflecting light on the tile and marble floors. I'm adding an interior photo below. The 1930's style chairs are a main attraction.
I painted the building last July and posted about that experience in Union Station. That time I painted from Plaza Park across the street. On this Saturday we painted views around the building. There are enclosed garden courtyards or patios on both sides of the main waiting room. I chose a view to paint in the north side patio which was shady, uncrowded, and has a lovely tiled fountain. Such an exciting location and fun morning.

ReplyDeleteThanks Lorraine! I always love your visits and comments.
DeleteVery nice, very much in keeping with the gentle mood of the Union Station Courtyard. I love Union Station. I hope it never changes.
ReplyDeleteThanks! It's so neat there, I hope it never changes as well. Course it's gotten much busier since the light rail has become more active.
DeleteWow, you really captured the feeling of this courtyard, Sherry. Thanks for sharing all your plein air ventures - they just keep getting better.
ReplyDeleteThank you Terry. I always love your encouraging comments!
