What a beautiful day for the final Saturday paint-out in 2107! We met at Monrovia Library Park. The library park takes up a whole city block in the center of Monrovia. I was happy to see so many festive decorations, garlands and wreaths, for the holidays. There are colorful street scenes around the library block, some beautiful trees, and even a view of the mountains. I chose a view of a busy intersection that had some colors I always like to use. While painting it was fun to see all of the classic cars cruising by and families out walking their dogs. I'm looking forward to more plein air painting next year, and I wish all of you a wonderful 2018.

Your blog is a pleasure to look at. Yesterday I used it in an art class to show how a good artist can take a mundane setting and make it beautiful with various artistic decisions. So many (ie all) of the students are at the stage of wanting to make identical, absolutely identical, reproductions of what is before them, all the way down to the dull colors and the little details like a chip bag stuck in a bush.
