Along the Vista Grande Trail, Pastel, Helen Shafer Garcia
Originally uploaded by Agave Latte

Today I took my Fallbrook School of the Arts Pastel class to Santa Rosa Plateau to paint on location. It was the calm before the storm...cold and overcast with hints of sunshine. We painted till our fingers got numb, then hiked back to the vistor's center for a warm up critique. Fun afternoon!
