We had perfect weather and a great turn-out this morning for the first plein air of the fall season at Frank Butler Park West. There were about 13-14 members who turned up to paint, new folks and old, and even a guest who painted a lovely oil.
We got to see our FCPS mascot, Maggie, though were saddened to learn that her owner, Steve, has moved many hours away from us now. However Steve will now be able to really concentrate on his art and we wish him lots of luck with that!
It was great to see folks and get to hear some stories about summer adventures.
It was a clear sunny day. The sun was a bit warm, but a light breeze, low humidity, and no bugs all made for a good morning. There were enough sand spurs that we had to watch our footing though! Some folks braved sunny locations but many folks found shady spots to paint from.
As we usually do we broke in late morning, and shared lunch and snacks, and a show-and-tell. Here are some examples of the morning in various states of completion.
And don't forget our exciting demo with Kevin Arthur at our upcoming November meeting!
