Fall Happening

Today was a fall happening. Our painting group came together to renew old friendships and

to share their love of painting. Some group members returned after a summer away while

others returned after painting (with a small group) all summer. It is such fun to see everyone again...we are still missing a few but hope they will return soon.

Below is the results of our session:

Carol

Terrie and Rita working on their paintings.

painted these sheep from a picture she had taken at
 Gail's house. Love the fur! Great job Terrie.

Terrie painted her shoes on the step using acrylic paints. The colors
are vibrant and the composition is wonderful. Fabulous, Terrie
