Paintout at Brenda Kidera’s, Woodbine, MD, June 21, 2019

After being oppressed by days of humidity and storm threats a stiff breeze ushered in a cool, dry day. Rafts of clouds gave way to an impossibly blue sky, and there were endless possibilities for painting compositions in Brenda’s sumptuous gardens, ponds, and woods. Daylilies, water lilies, potted plants, bright orange goldfish, and even a lawn chair soaking up the sun caught the painters’ attention in oil, watercolor, and pastel. After a morning’s work, the group gathered for a lunch provided by Brenda: chicken salad, potato salad, fresh berries, and, of course, her delectable signature molasses bread. Birds, dragonflies, swallowtail butterflies, damselflies, and even a contented toad made appearances on this beautiful summer solstice painting day.

Attending were: Mimi Hegler, Mary Kokoski, Barbara Nuss, Hiu Lai Chong , JoEllen Murphy, Tara Will (guest), Bob Thoren, Barry Lindley, and, of course, Brenda Kidera.
