O'Connor's Family Greenhouses, July 8, 2011

Possibly the clearest, brightest, most perfect day of 2011 was Friday, July 8. The painters met at O'Connor's family greenhouses on Lake Road between Wilson & Lewiston. Each one of us walked around, looking for a perfect composition, confused by all the lovely choices until we settled into a variety of corners at this colorful nursery. Every one of us went home with garden items and a new favorite destination for filling gardens next year. Another highlight  was having lunch next to Lake Ontario at Laurene's, all of us plan to return to this lovely location.

Linda Piper used markers and color

Joan Turell stayed the longest with her pastels

Joan Shaw found a lazy winding path to paint in oil

Paulette Jurek painted a cart and a painter with oil.
Laurene Buckley used watercolor and pencil

Kath Schifano sat in shade with pastels

An impromptu show for the owners, notice the cat looking on.

A perfect painting day should always include lunch on Lake Ontario.

  1. Amazing blog! Do you have any tips and hints for aspiring writers?
    I'm planning to start my own blog soon but I'm a little lost on everything.

    Would you propose starting with a free platform like Wordpress or go for a paid
    option? There are so many options out there that I'm totally overwhelmed .. Any ideas? Thanks a lot!
