River Farm Midweek Paint Out, April 26

We were blessed with a perfect day for painting at River Farm. Members spread out over the grounds, some painting the mansion, some the gardens and others the magnificent vista overlooking the Potomac. We spent a leisurely morning painting and visiting with one another to see the progress on paintings and to engage in a favorite topic, the exchange of information on paints and gear. As we are all familiar with the region’s heat and humidity that will soon be on us we reveled in the cool, dry completely comfortable day. The paintings produced reflected the beauty that surrounded us. I think River Farm will continue to be a favorite destination for the WSLP!

Attending were Lida Stifel, Jean Brinton Jaecks, Harry Jaecks, David Diaz, JoEllen Murphy, Lisa Mitchell, Lynn Goldstein, Jill Banks, Bobbi Pratte and guests Amy Waldrop and Vicki Blum

River Farm Midweek Paint Out, April 12

The lure of the lemon loaf strikes again! We had a great group and a gorgeous day at River Farm this past Wednesday!! The tulips were in bloom and plentiful...trees were budding....and the eagles were soaring!

Several of my (Cople) wonderful students showed up and were treated to some outstanding artwork!

Lunch on the porch and a critique followed. To absolutely no one's surprise all works were deemed beautiful or gorgeous....and in some cases both!

If this paintout is any indication, the show will be spectacular!

In attendance were: Lida Stifel, Trisha Adams, Jill Banks, JoEllen Murphy, Catherine Hillis, Marietje Chamberlain, Jean Brinton-Jaecks, Harry Jaecks, Bethanne Cople, Jean Schwartz and guest Amy Waldrop.
