May mid-week paint out in Annapolis

Even though many of the landscape painters still had webs between their toes from all the rain, eleven determined members of WSLP slogged through wet grass and showed up to paint on a glorious, but cool, sunny day at Quiet Waters Park in Annapolis, MD.  In fact, it was so sunny, that many of them had to use their umbrellas.

Those in attendance were Lani Browning, David Diaz, Gray Dodson, Lisa Egeli, Hai-Ou Hou, Jean Brinton Jaecks, Harry Jaecks, Mary Kokoski, Lynn Mehta, Sarita Moffatt, and Barbara Nuss.  Janice Kirsch, a guest of Lisa Mitchell, was also in attendance. 

Some artists painted down by the river at the South River Overlook, others painted flowers in the gardens, and a few painted at the boat dock.

April Paint Out in Dupont Circle, Washington DC

April 28, Dupont Circle Washington, DC

 

A very pleasant morning to be painting at Dupont Circle, mostly cloudy early on but mild with little or no wind. Perhaps the only distraction was an almost continuous rush of police cars and fire engines around the circle and then off to destinations unknown, which lasted for about an hour or so.  Those painting included Bob Thoren and Nancy Wallace and three guests, Mike McSorley , Roderick Turner and Christine Giranli.  Bob Thoren had an interesting spectator watch him paint.  A small dog was across the sidewalk on a park bench and would look out from his carrying case every so often to check on progress (see attached image).  His master slept the whole time.  Everyone finished up painting around 12:30 and then gathered at the fountain for a brief critique.

 

Those painting included:

Members:

Bob Thoren

Nancy Wallace

 

Guests:

Mike McSorley

Roderick Turner

Christine Giranli

 

Casual observer that day!
