Over 100 paintings of South Pasadena trees, landscapes and notable street scenes were created by visiting and local artists in September. Twenty seven of them have been juried into a special exhibit “South Pasadena, City of Trees” at SoPas Gallery of the South Pasadena Chamber of Commerce. The show will open Saturday, October 10th with an artists reception. Come on by! 6pm to 9pm. It's free.
Paintings include tree-lined canopy streets, the Arroyo Seco and the big Morton Bay Fig next to the library. The Fair Oaks Pharmacy and Nicoles caught the eye of a couple of painters, as did a few landmark homes. Hats off to the California Art Club members! These folks travelled from Orange County, Thousand Oaks, various points in LA, and all over the place - several times (painting day, drop off day, exhibition day . . .) In speaking with them, they love South Pasadena’s ambiance and they love the experience of this particular Plein Air Paint-out, sponsored by your very own, artistically inclined and community-centric Chamber of Commerce.
One other bit of trivia - The California Art Club was founded in South Pasadena in 1909. Many artists are local members, as is the club’s Managing Director, Lisa Cavelier.
