Painting at the Eagan Central Park

Thanks to all my friends and for Facebook likes and the company while I'm painting.Great company!

The Eagan Central Park is a great place for outdoor painting.  Lots of trees, flowering plant, lake and a fountain that are begging to be captured in watercolor.  It's where families go walking, biking, roller blading and folks walking their dogs.

While I was painting at the picnic pavilion, a few cars used the park for their U-turns. One guy asked me if I know where the rugby tournament is. I have no idea but it's good to know there is one somewhere in Eagan.

It was great painting outdoors in this beautiful Eagan weather. You'll surely find me painting outdoors again in an Eagan park and if you do, please say hi.  I'd love to meet you.

Adventure Date: 25 May 2013

Our next exercise venue is the Pinto Art Museum in Antipolo. My brother said they're going to take me to a secret place and while we're driving I just waited patiently and didn't ask where we're going.  We were driving towards Antipolo and I saw some familiar places but then we reached a road going to a residential development and I wondered where we're going. 

Surprise! It's an art museum!

We rang the bell and was directed to the welcome room and paid an entrance fee (Don't ask me how much! I'm just a guest and pretended not to know). 

The place was huge! Great for walking and sightseeing. There were several buildings Mission Style housing their own collection of paintings. 

Great landscaping too. 

There are antique furniture used to adorn the rooms and they blend well with the museum's theme. 

After our walk, we had lunch in their cafe. 

Good food but would be better if our food were served in bigger portions :)

                     See all gone!

Next post is my adventure going home to Minnesota. Aloha?!

 

Three of my Dazed Series paintings have a temporary home at the "Art of the Garden" exhibit presented by the Minnetonka Center for the Arts.
