*** NELAart Second Saturday Gallery Night is a free self-guided tour of the galleries, non-profits and artist run project spaces located in Northeast Los Angeles (NELA). NELA has a tradition in the arts that dates back to the early 1900's when the USC College of Fine Arts was located in Highland Park and characters like Charles Lummis and Antonio Corsi were living in the area. The tradition continues with new spaces opening regularly. NELA is now one of L.A.'s most exciting destinations to view contemporary art.

Wow - these watercolour studies are stunning! Is this at the gardens we went to together?

Amazing paintings! When you paint them in a small sketchbook it makes them extra adorable and more intimate. The last one with the hanging branches is my favorite! :)
