Hello Artists!
Our next DCPAP outing will be on Thursday (June 16) in the evening (about 5 pm start) at the Pheasant Branch Conservancy.
We managed to get through the morning at Marshall Park without any rain. Here's my sailboat/sky painting from there, plus I'm posting another recent painting ... just because I like it. I'd entitle this as "Drifting By".
Let’s paint again this coming Thursday morning (May 19) at the UW Arboretum. I’ll say 8 am start but, I, myself, may be late. Others might want to avoid early belt line traffic, but, whenever, it should be a nice spring morning. We’ll park at the main parking lot by the Park Building. I know most people like the gardens area but I may also check out the prairie views from near the parking lot.
Tom scheduled out first painting date for this year for May 12 at Viking County Park near Stoughton.
The park is located just a bit north of Stoughton and the entrance and parking lot are right adjacent to CTH “N”. You want the segment of hwy. N that is north of the N intersection with 51, and south of the intersection of N and B. Note that there’s a second parking lot on the north end of the park, off hwy. B, but don’t go there.
We will paint from 8 AM until around noon. There are restroom facilities at the park. There is a dog park there but in a separate fenced off area. Hope for better weather than recently and to see lots of painters there.!
Note - This post previously referred to a 5/21 date but the 5/12 date is correct - TG
About time for another post here and thought I'd share an experiment I just finished. I like some of the Australian painters, like Ken Knight, and after watching his short demo videos I decided to repaint a painting of mine from a couple years ago that was rather drab and uninspiring. In doing this I tried to paint with Ken's technique. I'm attaching both the recent reworked painting and the original painting below that. I think the difference is rather drastic and intend to keep experimenting in this manner.

Had a nice evening at Salmo Pond to end our painting season for 2021. I won't set up any new outings until next spring, but, of course, members may wish to get together on their own for winter painting. Those snow scenes are always great if the weather is agreeable. Here's what I ended up with from the Salmo Pond outing.
Hope to see you at Salmo Pond for one more reasonably warm fall day!

| Jan Norsetter's painting of Indian Lake October 2018 |
Fall colors at Indian Lake County Park are always nice so let’s paint there next week on Wednesday, November 3rd. Start time about 2:45 to 3 pm. I plan to set up my scene but then wait for late evening (sunset) light. Meet at either the main parking lot or that smaller lot by the new shelter. There is, of course, a restroom. We’ve had many trips to Indian Lake but I think you can always find a different view, or different light/color, or a different mode of painting expression.
Our next painting outing will be at Warner Park next Tuesday, October 19 at Warner Park. We’ll paint in the afternoon/evening with a start time of about 3:15. I know we just painted yesterday but I’m trying to catch some good weather and earlier in the week looks the best.
This time we’ll meet in the park area near the lagoon and shelter, and main parking lot (not the lakeshore). The Park is near the intersection of Sherman Ave. and Northport Dr. on the north side of Madison (See map). They do have restrooms.
