Donating Time, Supplies and Expertise to Kids

The NFPAP artists have annually supported the NACC day camp by donating money for supplies. We choose a date and the kids come out with their canvas, set up around our painters and try their hand at plein air. It turns into a quiet morning as they concentrate on the gardens and fountain in Schoellkopf Park, downtown Niagara Falls.
The returning campers have steadily improved their observation skills working outside. For their frequent breaks, they come up to the painters, asking for help and commenting on our own park paintings.

 Sitting in the sun, the paint dries very quickly. Fortunately, the day was mild.

Amelia's first painting of the year!
Diane, hard at work in the park was still able to answer kid's questions.
Sharing ideas, Sherryl Primo and a camper talk about their pictures.
Everyone loves the benches in the shade.
