Great Baehre Conservancy

Nestled among bustle of suburban sprawl in Amherst this park is a jewel. Wildlife, wide walkways, old growth trees, and enough places to paint that I didn't find the others.

Buffalo History Museum And Spring

The Cherry Blossom Festival brought out painters as well as the rest of Buffalo on the prettiest Sunday of 2026.

Reception at WNYAG Gallery

Great art, a variety of foods to savor and friends. Our Buffalo exhibit is proclaimed a success. Open until July 10. Martha Rogala, exhibit chair Joan Shaw, NFPAP founder

Billy Wilson Park and Springtime

So nice to have a warm sunny day

NFPAP artists in the community

Jean MacDonald and Diane Groupil have art displays at the Grand Island Senior Center.

Thompson farm day

So many things to paint! The sun lasted all morning on this mid October day but the cat preferred people heat to sunshine.

Sunflowers of Sanborn

Back to the Sledding Hill

The peace of Beaver Island comes out in our landscape paintings. What a great painting year, 2025 dates were almost all sunny and mild, if a bit warm.

Ellicott Creek picnic

Brutal winds sent pictures and supplies flying followed by a pot luck lunch where the wind kept us chasing pot covers and napkins.
But it was fun!

RTPI paint event
