We were fortunate to have Carl Judson in town for a few days, he made a visit to Hyatt Art Supplies, a presentation at Partners in Art, painted at the Falls, had a sit down evening with 10 members of NFPAP at Kathy Schifano's house, and painted the next day with our group in Wilson at Tuscarora State Park. He is the inventor of the original Guerrilla Painter boxes, of which there are several variations available.
Unfortunately, we had such a great time that there are no group photos. Many of our members took advantage of the supplies in his spiffy traveling van and updated their field boxes, now we are a traveling bunch of advertisements for the French Resistance, 9x12 laptop and cigar box setups as well as all the accessories a bunch of painters could want.
In the park, Carl cozied up with his 25 year old guerilla box to capture the trillium explosion on the path, adding to his collection of wildflower paintings. Painters were scattered along the hill, the water and down the paths, rejoining for a big lunch bunch. It was a bit windy, bringing cold in off Lake Ontario, but brilliant sunshine and dressing in layers kept all of us on task. Thanks to Sherrill Primo for setting up this annual Spring paintout and thanks to Carl for joining us before heading to Rochester. Happy trails as you move around the USA with your message of art.
