Had a beautiful morning and a good turn out of painters at Indian Lake this morning. I painted this scene over by the dog park. I'm also posting a painting I recently finished using gouache, which seems to be the fashionable paint to use nowadays. But I really struggled with it because I'm so used to oils.

This message is for those folks who have signed up with the Follow By Email gadget posted on this blog: As of July 1st that feature is going away. The only way to follow the blog now is to look at it regularly to see if there is a new posting or anything new on the events calendar. This is true for all Google Blogger blogs.
This is NOT related to the group emails that Tom Gilbert sends out with information on our painting dates. If you are getting those emails from Tom you will continue to do so. This only affects the Follow by Email feature on this blog. We hope you will continue to check the blog for new posts.
We recently started a Facebook Group and the events are also posted on there and members post their work and communicate via that group also. We hoped more people might post their work and share information on FB as it is easier and quicker to do that on FB than on this blog. The blog however is better for a more lengthy post so we do think it is valuable also. Our Facebook web address is at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/506786597020159
If you would like to be a member of the FB group just request that on FB. Once you are a member you can post on our page. If you want to post on this blog just send me a gmail email address and I can invite you to be a blog author. dgwafer@gmail.com.
So while there will not be a Follow By Email feature on our blog anymore there are now 2 places to search for members postings and upcoming painting events. And again if you currently receive emails from Tom with information about upcoming painting dates, etc this does not affect those emails and you will continue to get them. Pat

| Oil Painting from a few years ago in winter @ Indian Lake |
Meet in the small parking lot on the west side of the park (not the large parking lot where the shelter is). This is dog park side but hopefully there won't be lots of doggies there on a week day morning. We thought we'd like to try a different view this time but feel free to paint any area of the park you choose. We will stop around 11:30 and meet over at the picnic shelter off the main parking lot and eat lunch (bring your own) around noon for all who'd like to stay for a while.
We will meet at 8 am in the main parking lot. There is a picnic shelter and restrooms. Here's a link to their website: https://www.danecountyparks.com/park/StewartLake I am planning to bring a lunch if anyone wants to join me. And I'm fine with eating in Mt. Horeb if others would prefer. Any place outdoors is ok with me. Here's the site for my favorite cafe which is open 7:30 am to 3pm. https://www.sunncafe.com/
Look forward to seeing you all and enjoying the spring colors at the lake. Pat
