I participated in the North Park Plein Air Competition sponsored by the SD Art Institute and the California Art Club. To my surprise I was awarded First Place.
This is a painting of the the best Chinese Laundry in San Diego, the New Life Laundry. All paintings were painted on site and no touching up in the studio.
North Park is a very interesting mix of people.
As I was painting lots of people made comments, but they varied. The people going to yoga commented that I captured the spirit of the place. The tatoo artists said "dude". The laundry people just told me about how good the laundry was.
