Nolan Andress Memorial Fountain


This fountain is in the Alvarado Square near some city offices in San Pablo, CA. I started to draw this and was rushing before the shadows covered it. I didn't succeed. After the shadows covered it, all the life and sparkle of the fountain disappeared. I took some photos, however, and was able to work from them to complete the painting. The fountain is in a walkway between the building and another wall at the foot of some stairs. So, it is not in full light for very long.

  1. Lovely painting, beautiful composition and color. I'm sure the mayor will love this - he told me there are 5 fountains all together at the city offices but I can still only remember 3.
