In association with the Historic Preservation Society of Santa Clara (HPSSC), plein air artists in the Santa Clara Valley Watercolor Society (SCVWS) have undertaken to paint at least one historic site in Santa Clara every month in 2017. Their plein air artwork done over the past few years as well as in 2017 are shown here. On Saturday, August 19, 2017, we'll show some of these and other "Historic Santa Clara" plein air paintings at the Harris-Lass House Museum's "Art on the Lawn" show and sale. Other local artists, both "studio" and plein air, working in all mediums and subject matter will also display their work.
