PATs paint up in the Garage

Plein Air Thursday group painted up on top floor of the parking garage. There were severe thunder storms predicted for the afternoon so instead of the Sea Dog we headed to the undercover of the parking garage. As it turned we ended up going back to the Senior Center for Critique because of the dark skies.
The view from the garage was wonderful. You could see all over Bangor and there were lots of things to paint.
