For anyone that doesn't know, Balboa Park is one of San Diego's 
gems. It originated as the "City Park" in 1868. 

Today the Park consists of 1,200 acres and houses the majority 
of the City's Museums. One can also stroll the gardens, hike the trails,
watch working artists at the Spanish Village Art Center 
and so much more! 

This pastel, Balboa Park, depicts some of the unique architecture 
viewed across the water lily garden.
