Maybe there is a lot of snow out the windows, but our fair weather loving painters gathered in mid February at Kathy Schifano's to put a schedule together for the rest of the year. Joan Shaw made a list of about 80 locations that the group has already gone to paint at for inspiration. New and old sites were selected and we created a calendar of paintouts right through October. We add more dates as other ideas are presented, but the 39 definite events we planned will be enough for most of the group!
For a bonus, members brought extra art supplies and equipment to share. A random assortment from magazines, erasers and an easel went home with new owners and left a bit more room in the studios and places they had been gathering dust.
Someone said "We didn't schedule anything in March!"
the reply; "it's in 2 weeks, look out the window".
It's a good thing we skipped it, as March was roaring and nasty all month. Smart group of planners, nothing scheduled in March, nothing cancelled. April, we are ready to paint!
