Which pieces should be applied next, Chris?

A new beginning for Donna...a Raven.

 Lots of activity today!  We had a large group, with several people working on new paintings.  Betty and Gerri were camera shy, but present and accounted for.  Donna finished her painting of the stately redwood, and began a new painting of a raven from a photo she took in California.  Lee, as usual, was behind the camera...right where she wants to be...:-)   Hope you can join us in February.  We have special plans for the 9th, be watching for details.

We had a small, but mighty, group for our first critique of 2017.  Perhaps some folks are still recovering from the holidays?  Regardless, we look forward to a year full of lovely paintings and photos to view and critique!

On this cold and windy Wednesday morning, seven of us gathered to paint, share ideas, have a little fun, and be inspired as we welcomed in a new year.   We're looking forward to a productive 2017!  Won't you join us?  We're a friendly, welcoming group, and are always happy to see new faces.
