Plein Air @ Joseph D. Grant Park, Mt. Hamilton CA
My first time painting at this location, though I had been there several times before, hiking or just passing by.
I didn't see the old barn that I wanted to paint; it was supporse to be nearby. Found a spot at the shore of the Grand Lake and painted next to an other local artist who was working with oil media.
Old oak trees in the distance, California poppies were blooming on the hills, birds singing and catching each other, frogs in the lake...
Such a gorgeous spring time, but I knew it was not my typical scene to paint. Finished the work, walked around chatted with the other artists.
Actually, I found the old barn really was not far from where we were painting, have to come back again.
