East Bay Landscape Painters: 2nd street, Berkeley,

Two paintings of the concrete plant at 2nd and Virginia/Cedar.

The first was from Thursday morning when the marine layer was thick and the whole atmosphere a little eerie and quiet. Quite a bit of touching up in the studio afterwards. The second from a hot Saturday afternoon. In the second painting I found a place out of the wind and with a different view of the concrete plant. After struggling with the composition, I decided to forget about the ubiquitous chain link fence and slap the color on with joy and abandon. Really enjoyed painting on this Saturday and the peace and quiet in this part of Berkeley.

Both are:
Oil on canvas

About

East Bay Landscape Painters is a group of artists of all media, styles and levels of experience. We meet once a week to paint outdoors in the parks and cities east of the San Francisco Bay Area.

It was on January 3rd, 2007 that Karen Zullo Sherr and Rebeca Garcia-Gonzalez went on the first outing of the East Bay Landscape Painters. Their only agreement was to paint outdoors weekly. Not soon after, they invited others and later came the blog. Betsy Kendall and Sharon Hind-Smith joined as coordinators. Today the group boasts an active mailing list of over 250 members. On any given Monday one can find 10-15 painters at the group's painting locations. The EBLP has had two ELBP shows and has great plans for the future. It continues to be a volunteer-run group, with camaraderie and mutual support as its values.
