November

we have continued our monday plein air painting sessions - shorter days and cooler temps. we've been busy, but have fallen behind in posting images.
time to catch up!
currently we are represented in several shows in town:
Libby and Nina have work in the Casa Gallery, "Vertical" show.
Pamela, Libby and Nina have work in the SCAPE "Near and Far, SB County Parks" exhibit at the Channing Peake Gallery in the County Administration Building. 40% of the sales from this show goes to the County Parks Foundation.
Pamela has several of her large oil pastel drawings in "Resonance" at MichaleKate in the Funk Zone. She is also part of the Arts Fund "Feast Your Eyes" fund-raiser.

going back a bit in time, from october, some of nina's work:

san marcos foothill preserve is a new site for us - beautiful views, rolling hills and trees. high overcast and a gray day are a challenge.
