"Palo Verde" ©

Plein Air (Open Air) painting is always a roller coaster ride. You don't know, for sure if you can pull off a decent painting. Sunday I took a group of SCV painters to the Gardens at the water treatment plant to paint out. There wasn't a soul around, probably because it was a holiday weekend and most folks were off water skiing and BBQ'ing. You could hear the humming birds zooming past your easel and the big black bees servicing this Palo Verde tree.
