Big, big storm last night and this morning. Biggest in years. Maybe biggest of the century. (Well, maybe not.) Still --- if you'd expected to find intrepid Watercolor Society plein air painters Lisha, Iris, Helen, Liz, and Sylvia hunkered down in their nice warm studios you'd have been be wrong. No better place to be when the heavens open than the grounds of the serene Carmelite Monastery in Santa Clara. And that's where they were!

It was bliss to be painting outdoors, and the rain held off for us. I have painted the Monastery building itself on past visits, so this time I focused on the view past the olive trees to one of the many statues in the garden.
