 Clear blue skies, low humidity and mild temperatures made for a picture perfect day for painting in Waterford, VA. Our group painted flowering trees, historic houses, gorgeous vistas and gardens. Mediums included oil, gouache, water-based oils and traditional oils. We gathered at the Old School in the village for our critique. We were excited to be able to view the paintings of former WSLP member Garnet Jex. Ann Belland of Waterford arranged for 13 of his paintings to be on display for us there. Garnet Jex became a member of the Landscape Club of Washington in 1925. He went on to show work regularly with the club from the late 1920's into the early 1970's. 

In attendance were:

Robert Thoren, JoEllen Murphy, Pattee Hipschen, Raymond Burns, Trisha Adams, Jean Schwartz, Lynn Goldstein, with guests: Leann Fink and Amy Waldrop
