September 8th kicked off our new fall season. Thanks to Cindy and Paula for getting everything going for the new season.

We had a nice turnout for the fun event planned.

This was a "paint-around" with four artists each working on the same surface - but each with their own reference photo. They started on their own reference for 15 minutes. Then had to move along to the next painting for 15 minutes, and then the next. After an hour they each got 15 minutes back to their own original painting for finishing touches.

Our four artists were (L=>R): Richard Lundgren, Jessica Shippee, Pat Mahoney, and Rick Petersen.

Everyone else was fascinated to watch the progress of the four paintings. Below are the four finished paintings, all very beautiful!
