Griffith Park has so many different areas to paint, today I ventured to the Hollywood side of the park to Fern Dell.  It was overcast and even rained a little bit but the green ferns were still an electric lime green that jumped out at you.  I met up with four other artists, including Janet Snodgrass, Roy Moffatt, and Ruth Myers from the Valley Watercolor Society, for the paint out. 

       The day may have been overcast but a few times the sun came through the clouds to light up the trail and stream.  All the cool humidity and green, felt more like Oregon than Los Angeles.  A passer by told me that this is were the holodeck scenes for Star Trek: The Next Generation were filmed.  Only in LA.  I love that kind of information.

       I plan to take advantage of this location when the weather turns hot.  The shade and cool stream will be a great retreat when the valley hits 100.

       There is also a path to the top of the hills where you have a view of the Griffith Observatory.  That sounds like fun to paint too.
