August few

This week the Plein Air Thursday group painted inside because of the threat of thunderstorms in the area. We made good use of our time. Gigi had two paintings she wanted to mat and frame. We are all new to the mat cutter so it was a learning experience for us all.
Even though we were only 3 in numbers we painted some wonderful things.

Gigi painted this Sullivan scene using watercolors. The subtle use of color is well used in this painting. The golden
grasses in the front lead us right into the painting.. Beautiful Gigi!

Virginia ( Gigi's daughter) helps Gigi pack up her newly matted and framed paintings while
Linda packs up her things.

This is a pastel painted by Linda. This camp on a Maine lake is so inviting. The boat dock is architectural element that
adds an inviting way to access the painting.  Great job, Linda!

Sue painted this ocean view using acrylics. This is a panting of the "Lone Cypress" on the Pacific coast of California.
Sue tried a new technique to paint the rocks and the consensus is...she likes it.

This is a plein air painting by Sue. She used acrylics to capture the colorful homes in Bayside. She captured the
rhythm of the roof lines that add to the excitement of the painting.
