Camelia and 9th Street

It was nice to meet and paint with the fellow landscape artists.  This was a beautiful sunny Saturday afternoon. The location was at the corner of Camelia  and 9th Street in Berkeley. The painting was done with acrylic.  I emphasized the light on the sidewalk and tried to make the mailbox look more interesting.  The size of the painting was 9" x 12" canvas panel.      Philip Ng

Berkeley Adventure and Oriental Rug Co.

I headed down to the Berkeley Marina Saturday morning but unluckily for me I had inadverantly left my headlights on and when it came time to join the EBLP, I was waiting for the AAA truck. I amused myself while waiting by watching the local kids flying their kites nearby.
After my car was charged up ( by driving to have lunch at El Pollo Loco-yum!) I headed over to 9th and Camelia Street where the East Bay Landscape Painters were gathered. I was able to park a short distance down the street and captured this view of the Oriental Rug Company.  A fun end to an adventurersome day!  "Oriental Rug Company" 12" x18" pastel on black paper.    Janice Lopez

Below San Pablo in Berkeley

We have been painting below San Pablo in Berkeley. There are a lot of intersting streets with a mixture of small cottages and light industry and we have just begun to explore the possiblities. This is a 24 by 30 acrylic done at the corner of Camelia and 8th Street.  We are going to go there again this Saturday.
