In October 2010, I had the opportunity to paint the Colorado Street Bridge from the vantage point a little south of the Federal Courthouse on the east side of the Arroyo Seco, at a private home.

The late afternoon light grazing the bridge created a peaceful mood. The foreground oak tree provided a natural frame for the scene.

California impressionist landscape oil painting - Arroyo Seco, Pasadena



Snow on the San Gabriels
(Federal Courthouse with view of the Arroyo Seco)
12 x 16 oil on canvas


The winter storms, which may now be over, often leave rare snowcaps on our local mountains - for a few days. I took advantage of one of these unusual scenes last month. This is a view I have painted before, in the autumn when the sycamores are in full color - and will likely paint again through the years with different weather and seasonal looks.
