A somewhat smaller group today.  Some just decided to take the day off, others were painting en plein air.  But, we had a successful morning, as you can see from the beautiful artwork.  And, we even had a few good laughs.

And, today's STAR...alcohol inks!
Well, Betty created quite a stir with her alcohol inks at yesterday's painting session.  She was experimenting with using them on Yupo and, as you can see, the effects were stunning.   One more exciting, fun, way to create!
