Plein Air @ Alviso Marina County Park San Jose CA


It was not a warm morning at the location. I got to one of my favorite painting spots and decided to paint again at this location.


Couldn't remember how many times I've painted there before. Still, I started with a thumbnail, almost the same layout from my memory as before. I tried to use less water as it was hard to dry given the weather.

One lady walked by me to complement my work, but she she surprised me and immediately apologized and told me that she was just walking by.

Later some male voice was even louder behind me saying that it was a beautiful painting. That really scarred me a lot. Turned around and I saw two policemen driving by, they were kind and smiled, apologized as well. Then asked me when I started my work. I didn't really pay much attention, told them around nine o'clock.

After they left, I realized that it might not have told them the correct time, they might misunderstand me and think I was not honest enough, oh, no....

Saw several other artists working there too, the parking lot was almost full when I was leaving. (January 8 2024)
