Back to spectacular Billy Wilson Park

Carol Vacanti pints, Diane Groupil looks on

There are a few different names to this park and it is unknown to many, but we look forward to Spring peepers, goose nests, ferns unrolling and soft greens on our palettes.

Jennifer took advantage of the trail rails 

Kath Schifano found grasses across the pond. 

This is lovely! Who did it?

Presbyterian Church at Kleinhan's Circle

Kleinhans Circle in Buffalo is rich in history and architecture. The painters chose the Medina Limestone First Presbyterian church for their subject, focus on the flowering trees and gardens gave contrast to the dark walls. There is such joy and discovery in study of an architect's details and these paintings show the beauty of this massive building. Various groups use parts of the building for offices so it is able to financially support itself with some help from the community and a host of volunteers.

Rev. Elena Delgado welcomed the painters, offered the facilities to us and allowed us access to this beautiful building. Kath saw the unique preparations for a wedding planned that evening.

Reinstein Woods

 A quiet place to paint, just as long as the wind doesn't blow the painting or send a brush between the wood slats of the floor. It seems that Rachelle Duszynski let her lovely painting go into the creek, but that pastel experience is just one of the hazards of plein air. Each one of us has a nightmare story from our plein air experiences, biting dogs, frozen bones, bee swarms, wind, rain and sunburn.

Darwin Martin House

Frank Lloyd Wright's iconic Darwin Martin House on Jewett Parkway in Buffalo is a favorite of artists and visitors. In fact, it's fame has brought many to Buffalo, a city of examples of major artists from the days of shipping and the western migration right up to the present day. The sun shone, the artists worked and neighbors strolled by, it was a perfect Buffalo spring experience.
