Wednesday Painting

Wednesday morning I painted with the Outdoor group at the Beach Elementary School.  We had fun talking to the students as they wandered around watching us paint.  They asked lots of questions about our equipment and paints and why we did what we did.  Hard to keep the kindergartners out of the paint though!  The next day I went back to help the art teacher with the fifth graders when they painted "plein air".  They will display their work at the festival in November.

All the artists were practicing plein air for the competition.  After painting I decided I'd use my pastels instead of oil painting my entry!!

My raffle donation......

Meg wanted a painting from our Experimental Group so I donated this painting titled "Rounding the Mark" to the raffle.  Paint the Beach Raffle benefits the art association and tickets are $2. each or 6 for $10.  We have six nice  paintings .
