Summer Get together

We will get together on Friday, July 31 to paint at 10 am.

contact me at Chetti7@aol.com if you want to be a part of it or just come on~

We will view a video of an artist creating a Plein Air Painting in Europe, then
go to the village where we will set up to do our own plein air painting.

If you would like to go to the gardens or a park, that might be a great option, or downtown if you are in the mood for a street-scape.

Just wanted to spark some creativity until the fall sessions begin.

BLESSINGS!

Allison
