December Plein Air

We met at 9:30 am Dec. 8th at Las Casuelas Patio.....wandered around and took pictures and decided what and where we wanted to paint.  The staff were very cordial to us and the 6 of us made ourselves at home on a sun-dappled patio. Everyone chose a different topic. 
I'll try to get pictures of the paintings to you.  I was so busy painting I forgot to get any pictures of the paintings.  So-o-o much fun!

Such a beautiful place to paint and so much structural material to choose from.  The design around the outside fountain intrigued me.

Everyone was given a menu and chose their favorites.

  
Such a good painting, relaxing time was had by all.
