Students paint in Balboa Park rose garden.

It’s Spring!

Today, students learning plein air painting were out in Balboa Park’s blooming Inez Grant Parker Memorial Rose Garden, interpreting the surrounding beauty!

I observed this same Plein Air Painting: A Working Method class out in the rose garden a couple years ago. The course, taught by accomplished fine artist Danny Griego, is part of the UC San Diego Extended Studies program.

Danny was kind enough to let me photograph his own painting. Then I walked about, absorbing the San Diego sunshine and the creative energy around me.

Is there a more beautiful setting into which one can place an easel?
