Making tamales for Christmas

Great Things Come In Small Packages

Marie and Kathryn both had two paintings in the show at Terra Nova! Kathryn was in Washington D.C. on an art trip and couldn't make the opening. So, we did the next best thing. We stood next to her paintings!

Good Job Ladies!

Terra Nova Gallery Opening

Kathryn and I entered the Provo Plein Air event, a first for both of us. There were some great paintings.

Down By the Boat Harbor

I went down by the boat harbor near the place Marie and I painted before. This place has good lighting in the evening. I'll scout Rock Canyon and maybe a little Provo Canyon on Tuesday.

These views are all from one location, a fair number of options.

Plein Air Painting - Midway

Marie went to Thanksgiving Point yesterday and got warmed up painting a nice little scene. We scouted around a bit and found this place in Midway. It seems that there are little spots maintained by the state for fishermen to use by the Provo river. They have restroom facilities and are perfect for our purposes.

We determined that we prefer to paint with few onlookers as we are a bit insecure about our abilities at this point. The teacher in Marie comes out as she doesn't mind telling people about what she is doing....I am mortified when they look at my painting.

We had a nice time and were happy we went. We are hoping to have many more excursions this spring and summer (and fall). Hopefully we will have more painters join us.

Rough Draft

This is just a rough sketch of a blog. We can change anything.

A Good Time in Kanosh

Brian Kershisnik gave a wonderful lecture to a full house at his studio.

...explaining sketchbooks.

Welcome!

Even though our mission statement isn't done or our name agreed on, we had a successful meeting at Bajio's this evening.
