Waterford is one of my favorite places to paint in Northern VA so I headed out at 8:30 am Sunday even though it was still raining.  The forecast was for the rain to stop  mid morning and sure enough as I was driving I could see clearing skies to the west.  I parked next to the Waterford mill and did not see anyone from WSLP.  I setup my easel in a field behind the old mill and started to paint.  At that time, it was cloudy and stayed that way for an hour or so.  Around 11:00 am some blue sky started peaking through.  As it turns out, there was only one other person painting and that was Jill Banks.  She came by the mill at noon and we had an informal critique.

In attendance: Robert Thoren and Jill Banks
