WSLP members were invited guests at Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library, March 28 thru 31 in Winterthur, DE. Members painted among Winterthur's 1,000 acres of rolling hills, streams, meadows, and forests. We enjoyed Winterthur’s first-ever exhibition of garden follies, thirteen fantastic structures ranging from a Gothic-inspired tower, an Ottoman tent, a Chinese pavilion, American summerhouses and an enchanting faerie cottage.

Some made it a day trip while others stayed overnight and painted multiple days.

Some members attended the CROWN exhibit of costumes and other memorabilia from the movie of the same name on display at the Winterthur mansion.

Others visited the nearby Brandywine River Museum which features works of the Wyeth family of painters and other notables.
