The South Patio
One of the paint-out groups returned to Union Station in downtown Los Angeles a few weeks ago. Opened in 1939, the stunning Art Deco building is a well known landmark in the city. On my previous visit I tried a gouache piece from one of the courtyards, Union Station Gouache. The north patio has always been a favorite since it's shady and has a lovely tiled fountain, Union Station Fountain. This time some workers were power washing the north patio so no painting there. There is still another patio, just through an archway in front of the Los Angeles Metropolitan Water District. It was a calm, relaxing place the morning we were there. Two tiled fountains add to the ambiance. And there is a view of the Union Station tower. I painted one of the fountains which had fish in the pond and pigeons in the lush plants.
