Arroyo Seco Stables

10" x 8"
Gouache on cold press board
2024

Original artwork by Jimi Martinez, created in the plein air style of painting—a practice that involves producing a finished piece outdoors while capturing the natural light, color, and movement of the subject in real time. The term originates from the French phrase en plein air, meaning "in the open air." This piece, created in 2024, was painted using gouache on cold press board.

The scene depicts the Arroyo Seco Stables in South Pasadena, California, which were built in 1926. Owned by the Corder family since 1909, the stables are situated next to the Arroyo Seco trail, with some of their back walls facing the path. This area is a popular destination for horseback riding, with its equestrian trail connecting to those in the Angeles National Forest.
