Paintober

Yes this has been the month to paint plain-air. The warm weather and gorgeous color makes for a perfect combination for painting outside. Gigi and Sue did get out earlier in the week to capture
some beautiful scenery on canvas.

Sue painted this scene using acrylics. This was painted plein air at the pond in Avalon Village.
Sue ramped up the color...maybe a bit too much.

Gloria painted this thatched roof Irish cottage using pastels. The open door lends a mystery as to what
is beyond. Beautiful Gloria.

Gigi painted this scene plein air scene on the banks of the Kenduskeag River using acrylics..  The colorful
fall folliage  and rushing water are artfully done with her beautiful strokes. Fabulous Gigi!

Another scene of the Kenduskeag River painted by Gigi using acrylics. Her brush strokes lend a movement
to the water and create interest. Wonderful, Gigi!

Sue painted this scene "The road to Sandy Point" using acrylics.

Gigi hard at work

Gigi and Gloria discuss her painting.

Gigi painted this lighthouse using acrylics. The shape of the roof contrast with the trees.
Great Job, Gigi
