Duc Vien Community Buddhist Pagoda, Thursday, May 1, 2014

First hot, hot Paintout of 2014 but, on the verdant, tranquil grounds of the Duc Vien Buddhist Pagoda (another of San Jose's many hidden treasures discovered by Jenny & Sylvia), the air heavy with the scent of incense; we stayed cool, found peace, and focused on our paintings.
