a photo essay<\/h2>\n

I\u00a0and two other artists will be\u00a0doing live demonstrations of plein air painting techniques–free to the public. \u00a0The demos will take place at the annual San Diego River Foundation “River Days,” celebration this Saturday, May 14th in the Mission Gorge Regional Park at Old Padre Dam. The demos\u00a0happen 8:00am to 11:00am.\u00a0Here are some “clickable” photos I took on a showery May morning to urge you to come out and see the beautiful setting of the park and learn a bit about how to create scenic art in the open air.<\/p>\n
