After a full week or rain the sun finally came out. The temps rose from 52 degrees to 85 degrees.Wow, What a difference. Thursday was the perfect day to go to Hancock to paint plain air. Gail was nice enough to offer her cottage for the day and we took full advantage. We all packed our lunches and painting gear and carpooled to Hancock.
