Wednesday Morning Adventures


Today, we met at Coyote Regional Park to get a little painting in.  The weather was clear, blue skies and temps fine with a bit a cool breeze once and a while.  Robyn and Sheryl headed from the Paseo Padre parking lot down the path towards the park entrance, I decided I still need to paint the oak trees so I chose to paint from Paseo Padre looking towards the oak grove.

The fields around the grove are scheduled to turn into a gated community of houses.  Such a loss.  The flatland views are so restful for the eyes and soul and a watershed and buffer zone for the wildlife that lives in the park.  I assume the grove will be left standing but will probably be unavailable to the public in a wonderful setting like it is today.  So, to be one with the trees!

Today's adventures included noisy trucks working near Robyn and Sheryl and where I was a slight wiff every so often of a very, very long time dead skunk down the way.  

It sounds like the May 2 paint out is going to be very fun with LOTS of artists.
By the way, the public gets to choose the best artists at the end of the day!

Today's painting is too wet to photograph, so here is another painting at Coyote Hills.
