World Wide Paintout

Back to Niagara Falls for our annual Niagara Frontier Plein Air Painters World Wide Paintout. It was a briskly chilly day and we all thought summer was over, fortunately we have had two weeks of near summer warm after this.

Sponsored by the International Plein Air Painters, groups gather all over the world to paint in early September, knowing they are joined in spirit with all the others. Click the links to see how many other groups were also registered.

If you are a member of Facebook, you can see many more photos of artists from Rio De Janiero, British Columbia, Montana, Italy, Florida and lots more. Just click HERE.

Our Niagara Falls group couldn't get themselves together for a group photo, between heading to the cars for more layers and painting in different locations, this is the best we could do. Beverly McIntyre, Linda Piper, Joan Turrell and Kathy Schifano are in this photo along with setups by others who were probably drinking hot coffee, all NFPAP members, but we also had a visitor who plein air paints in Wisconsin!

September at Bond's Lake

Sometimes there is a breeze, but we always seem to have great weather at Bond's Lake and this September event was no exception. If you were chilly in the shade, step into the sunlight and if the sun was too warm, there was shade nearby. IN the distance there was a bit of color just beginning inthe trees, the greens of summer were more varied and of course, lunch was wonderful.

The single photo shows Anne Zohur who continued to paint through lunch. The group photo is Michelle Marcotte, our newest member, Joan Turrell, Kathy Schifano, Sherrill Primo and Diane Goupil.
