Rosicrucian Museum, San Jose, January 19th

What a contrast weatherwise from our last outing. I was glad I dressed for winter because it was very cold when you were sat still painting. We had the Rosicrucian to ourselves for a little while, but pretty soon it was swamped by groups of school children. To make the most of it I had some fun painting figures.

We only painted until Noon, then had a quick lunch and went off to the Triton Museum to see the 2011 Statewide Painting Exhibition http://tritonmuseum.org/  There are some wonderful paintings on show there, well worth visiting.

Palo Alto Baylands, January 5th, 2012

This was a gorgeous day, and no better place to be than by the saltmarshes surrounded by birds and views of the mountains. A Great Egret and Snowy Egret were fishing very close to us. Fun for us - not so fun for the fish!
