Escarpment paintings

We had a good turnout for an early spring paintout thanks to Anne Zohur's invitation and hospitality. The early morning was only 35 degrees, but the sun warmed the day to nearly 60 and there was no breeze. We were comfortable painting as long as our setup was in the sun. 

An enormous view took in the whole lower escarpment area with brilliant blues in the Niagara River and Lake Ontario in the distance. Buildings and landmarks were easy to see and identify as trees were still bare, last year we painted here when the greens stretched almost to the horizon, a tiny band of the lake still glowed.

Anne Zohur, Donna Hale, Joan Turrell, and Paulette Jurek on a real coffee break.

Artist setups scattered around the lawn, Mary Jane Luce attended her first paintout with us, her easel is near the tree.
