Waterfall and Koi pond

Japanese Friendship Garden
Watercolor, 8" X 5"

Well, I'm now seriously behind but will try my best to catch up this week. I am not very happy with this one. Guess I just took this painting beyond the fresh stage. There's always that danger when I finish it up at home. It's always so tempting to try to improve on things but then I loose some of the wonderful spontaneous things that happen on site. Always disappointed later. Note to self - STOP that!
This garden is the most peaceful spot in Balboa Park. Very few visitors possibly because there is an extra admission fee. I just love the meditative atmosphere in here. The Koi are beautiful and the waterfall and landscape are so soothing to all of your senses.

This painting is available. Email me at bstegora@mac.com
