Plein Air @ Mission Branch Library City of Santa Clara CA 加州風景寫生
After the Memorial day long weekend, I planned to paint at Pescadero, but it did not happen. Came to the Mission Branch Library in Santa Clara. Remembered that I painted here in the afternoon last winter and pulled out the old photo. Today I painted this scene from a 90 degree different angle, and in the shade of the morning. I was totally in the sun so soon, before I even finished my drawing. Kept moving to my left side, wondered if I would bother the residents inside the building. Instead, a couple of young guys came out and gave me a few compliments. I think they study at Santa Clara University. Practiced not overdoing the painting and made sure my work looked painterly and loose. (June 1 2021)
