About this Event
Theme
Ah, summer in San Diego.
The landscapes are flush with blooms and the mornings often with foggy gloom. If you like to paint florals or rich, summery landscapes—bring it. If you capture the gray fog of "June Gloom"—show us. If you express these rich hues with abstract elements—let us see it!
