Surprise Guest

This Thursday at the Plein Air Thursday group we had a surprise guest, Barbara Mallonee. What a treat for us. She talked about her up coming projects and  her newest type of drawing....doodling. Barbara said to keep a theme in mind while you doodle. She worked on several and they are wonderful. It was so nice to see Barbara again. We hope she comes back again for another visit.
The group did some very interesting paintings this week. As you will see some are in the beginning stages and others are finished pieces...
