Indian Lake 5-29-18

Such an awesome night. We were there until dark which let me get two paintings started.

Indian Lake County Park

Indian Lake County Park was surprisingly pleasant despite the thermometer reading! The shelter provided some shade and there was a bit of a breeze. It was nice to get out and paint. My second paining as the sun was getting lower was fun to do.
It was good to see folks out painting! Wendy

Indian Lake Outing

We painted yesterday evening at Indian Lake and it seemed like a mid-summer day already.  I did a twilight painting and then tried to do a nocturne.  I knew a full moon was about but it wasn't where I wanted it to be and was covered by clouds.  I started the nocturne anyway.  Intending to throw in an invented moon, but once it got darker and I turned my easel lights on, the mosquitos attacked me in swarms and I had to give it up.  But I'm still posting what I completed of the nocturne and hope to somehow complete it later.  The new shelter at Indian Lake is quite nice with good painting views, a firepit, and new rest rooms.  Might be a good spot for a plein air painters party at a later date.

Solo Plein Air in Lewis Park 

I did some solo plein air work at Lewis Park in McFarland this past weekend.  Wendy

Bucky

 

For those that didn't know I got to paint a Bucky for the Buckys On Parade event. Now I'm doing a painting of my painting as a keepsake. It's in such a cool spot. :)

Salmo Pond Outing

Had a nice warm and sunny morning at Salmo Pond.  There were still bundles of dead branches and stuff along the shoreline from their cleaning up the area, but I tried to paint it abstractly so who knows what it is.  It's just a spring painting.

Edna Taylor Conservancy, May 8th

I got there a little after 6 pm so the light was starting to look good to me. Nice to be out with the group. Thanks, Tom, for getting us out there again!

I enjoyed getting out to paint for a bit!  See you again soon I hope - Wendy

Edna Taylor Outing

Had a nice turn-out for the first outing and no rain.  The afternoon sun was a bit hazy at first but improved later on.  My field sketch needed additional work and this is what I ended up with.  Complete with red-wing blackbirds.

Edna Taylor Park May 8

It was a lovely day to paint with the DCPAP. I found this great old tree with lively colors surrounding it for painting. I think I'll do a bit more value work on this before I call it done. I do have a title for it.

It was sure nice to get out and see all of you. We had such a nice night. My values were close is the best I can say for what I left with. A few hours help left me with this. Thanks for holding the pose Trisha.

Plein air painting workshop June 2 & 3 with Jon Wilde and Jan Norsetter at Belleville Community Park

http://lsrwa.org/get-involved/program-and-projects/adult-plein-air-workshop/
This is a fundraiser for the Lower Sugar River Watershed Association. We usually have good weather but, just in case, we reserve shelter #3 near the edge of the water, so we'll paint rain or shine. The park is bordered by the Sugar River,  Lake Belle View and the beautiful surroundings of marsh and trees. I hope you'll consider joining us!

First Plein Air Painting Outing fir 2018 - May 8th @ 3pm @ Edna Taylor Park

We will meet in the parking lot around 3pm for painting at the park.  This is the first time we have painted there.  See website for details about the park:  https://www.cityofmadison.com/parks/find-a-park/park.cfm?id=1159 

Please note there are no restrooms in the park but there are businesses nearby.  So far the weather looks good and in the 60's.
