As cars arrived, the artist comments included. 'I hope I have enough brown paint', 'Wow, it's a black and white day' and 'Gee, it sure is grey here'. We all see in color....just different ones, because the final paintings were quite colorful and varied.
The sky was blue, reflecting in the water, skunk cabbage was emerging in reds and yellows and greens, ghost trees shouted darks and live trees glowed mauve, orange and pinks. But, you had to be an artist to see any of this, or at least see our finished paintings, because they are a riot of color. The woods and wetlands remained fairly monochrome to the casual observer, we just do not observe very casually.
As the day turned truly grey with rain threatening after lunch, we gathered for an official 'selfie', using the camera timer.
Right before the rainstorm, we gathered our paintings 'a la parking lot' for a quick critique.
