A Little Rain Must Fall

Yes , Plein Air Thursday group had to paint inside this week because of the rain. We're not complaining because it was fun to get together at the Senior Center again. (even though we had to hike the stairs to the third floor).
Sue, Rita and Charlene shared their paintings that they did on Monhegan. Nancy's art is displayed at the Senior Center so we all went down to view the show. Wow, breathtaking, spectacular...the show is fantastic. We all knew that Nancy was talented but seeing her work displayed in one place was very dynamic
.
The group painted some very beautiful paintings. Here is the results:

Sheila painted Rita's Crocks. The painting is in progress.
This acrylic painting is going to be colorful. Great start Sheila,

Charlene painted this scene using pastels.. The values are
wonderful in this painting. Great Job Charlene!

Sheila painted the scene of our group painting in Rita's
backyard. She used acrylic paint for this wonderful
composition.Can you find yourself in this painting? Love this one, Sheila.

Michelle painted this carton of beets using pastels.  The composition  is
interesting and the beets are a beautiful color. Good Job Michelle.

Liz painted this scene using pastels. The colors are vibrant
with great values. Gail will one this one!

Nancy painted this scene of the road to Gail's cottage in
Hancock. The shadows are exceptional and the light draws the

Rita painted "Pulpit Rock" on Monhegan, plein air. She hiked
to the far side of the island and came away with a wonderful painting.
