Plein Air @ Downtown Campbell Light Rail Station CA



Planned to Plein Air in the morning, but there were some household things that interrupted that plan . It was about 4pm when I set up to paint at the Downtown Campbell Light Rail Station, 


I've painted near this Light Rail Station several times over the past two years and have found it a very interesting place to paint from different angles in the morning or in the afternoon.

For example just this red warehouse I painted from the other side in the morning on the last day of 2021.  This building had a "for sale" sign on it.  Today the sale sign still was on the fence, but the messiness I saw around before was all cleaned up.  It is unusual that a property could be on sale for so long in Silicon Valley.

Many times I've told myself that I should not copy what I see exactly, so  today I slightly moved things around or implied things a little bit.  Slowly but surely I will get there for sure one day.

There was a condominium behind where I was painting.  The residents had already decorated the patio for Halloween.  I kept hearing repeated silly recorded words from an automated witch while painting.  Can't wait for the Halloween parties  (October 12 2023).
