Wisteria on the Gazebo
Painted on location last year in Balboa Park.
Balboa Park, San Diego Plein Air
This is one of my favorite spots to paint in Balboa Park.
Flowers on the Gazebo, Alcazar Garden, Balboa Park
Another open air painting in Balboa Park- the Alcazar Garden. I really like this spot to paint- I guess it’s probably described as a formal Italian-style garden but with a mix of Moorish elements added as well. Nice place.
Balboa Park Plein Air
The Alcazar Garden is one of my favorite, quiet spots in Balboa Park. It’s a formal garden with clipped hedges in patterns around flowerbeds, overhung with palm trees and surrounded by archways. This is my second painting from the OPA paint out a couple of Saturdays ago.
California Tower in Balboa Park, San Diego
A couple of weeks ago we joined members of the Oil Painters of America to paint in Balboa Park. I chose the Alcazar Garden, so I could paint the California Tower (part of the Museum of Man). Also I like standing in the shade.
We took pictures of some of the other painters, though they have disappeared from the camera! Mysterious.
