We spent a day at Balboa Park, San Diego which has many attractions within it such as museums, parks, gardens with cactus varieties, rose varieties, botanical building, Japanese garden, etc. I fell in love with the Spanish Village Art centre here, where artists work and also sell their art work. I loved the colors ON the streets and the ambience here! I loved the colorful cottage-type buildings, the plants and trees around, the benches scattered for visitors to rest and the slow leisurely pace of this place. The day was hot, we roamed around slowly, walking into each building and observing the artists working and also browsing through their works. It was like an artist's Utopia to me. However, I do understand that even these artists in this Utopia-like place, have rents to pay, food to put on the table......like artists from any other place.
In this world, art does not sell as well as it should.
Which makes life a big struggle for most artists.
