Everybody is Irish on Saint Patricks Day and 14 lucky painters were full of blarney on a blustery day on the bay! A wee Leprechaun pinched artists that were not wearing green. There was a request for a pinch of Irish Spirits!
Iris, Lisha, Helen, Masako, Sal, Salinda, Dick, Brad, Lora, Jane, Jayne, Sharmin, Candy and Alison used their watercolor pots of liquid gold to paint a variety of subjects including the still green hills near the Alviso County Park.

| "Val's" by Brad Vahl's holds memories from both my childhood ('50s) and '80s & '90s parties with coworkers. It was always a bustling place. Revisiting it brought back those happy memories. I set-up across the street from the restaurant, next to the railroad tracks, and was almost blown off my seat when an ACE train roared by. I was prepared when an Amtrak came thru and crouched down next to a concrete abutment. Who says plein air painting can't be an adventure? |
