Saturday, April 16

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
