Foothills Nature Preserve, PaloAlto, Thursday, November 4, 2021


Thursday painters welcomed the return of Jane and were treated to spectacular clouds and fall colors on our inaugural trip to Foothills Park in Palo Alto. Foothills Park has beautiful Lake Boronda full of waterfowl and after the rains greening hills.  We had a sneak peak of Thanksgiving when we saw wild turkeys on the rolling hills. It was wonderful to see so many from the south bay in addition to our local members: Salinda, Dick, Linda W, Lin, Masako, Lisha, Helen, Janice, Brad, Lora, Susan B-G, Karen, Alison, Monique and Jane S.

Our first paintout at the formerly off-limits Foothills Nature Preserve was a great success.
Calm enough so that artist's 
(from left: Salinda, Dick, Janice and Monique) reflections
as well as those of the far-shore forested hillside in the lake, were an attractive subject.  
The cloud cover changed so quickly that it was a challenge to work that in too --
so I didn't even try ~
