The weekend activity

On Friday, Art Tyndall wisely elected to paint in the shade and led us to Washington Park, where there was not only shade but a lovely breeze off the water.  John Groesser, Bob Carr, Art and I were the fearless foursome who painted.  When I arrived at 9:30, Art was pretty well along with his first (of two) oil paintings, depicting a view of the riverside road, looking back toward Washington.  Before long, John appeared, and he and I painted a pickup that was catching the morning sun:




Bob Carr  arrived late and left early, having some tenant problems to deal with, but he did share the previous week's finished, careful rendition of some industrial buildings near the river.  A very detailed painting which had required a lot of patience and drawing skill. 

On Saturday, Donna Davis and I painted at the Farmers' Market on County Home Road, a nice outing that finished around noon when our watercolors were rained on!  Into every life . . .

The resulting picture is titled "Wild Caught Shrimp"

As you can see, we were intrigued by the clouds, which were perfectly alluring for Miss Donna, the "cloud lady."
