We had a beautiful morning and a lot of options for a recent paint-out in Pasadena. Our location was the "lower Arroyo Seco". The last time I painted there was when the special, huge, white Matilija poppies were blooming which I posted in More Matilijas! This is quite an extensive area with views of our beautiful old bridges, and the casting pond, or pool. There is one small building which is the home of the Pasadena Casting Club. It seems to be very active, and when I arrived two volunteers were weeding and planting some decorative plants, hoping the gophers wouldn't eat them. I think the casting pond has such a mysterious, peaceful look. It's a wonderful shade of green, reflecting the surrounding trees, so I had to try a watercolor. The water changed constantly, a challenge!

A lovely painting with such beautiful reflexions in the water.
ReplyDeleteHi Jane, thank you, the reflections made me nervous to try!
DeleteBeautiful greens, Sherry, and your reflections are not only spot-on, they're amazing.
ReplyDeleteThank you Terry, it was fun to try.
DeleteI think I would reconise a Sherry painting anytime just by your use of greens. You certainly have a good handle on them. The reflections done beautifully too
ReplyDeleteThank you Lorraine, I need more practice on reflections.
DeleteSherry, what a great painting...the reflections are great! and the figure in red gives the eye a place go to. What really gets me is when i look at the photo, i wonder just how in the heck you got that beautiful painting out that that scene. How do you do it!? lol
