I returned to paint at La Casita in Pasadena recently. It's a spectacular old 1933 building made of arroyo stones. Perched on the edge of the Arroyo Seco, to me it always seems to have a softness about it with its pale, dusty blue trim. I posted my previous painting there in
La Casita Del Arroyo. From La Casita there is a nice view of the famous Colorado Street Bridge, which I haven't tried painting yet. Some day! But not on this visit. I painted La Casita again, adding some of my paint-out friends this time. I also took two work-in-progress photos to share.
