Schoodic Starter....

We were up bright and early to get started exploring this beautiful area.  Walking back to the dining hall for breakfast was a brisk trip rewarded with Maine blueberry pancakes and hot coffee.  Some sleepyheads didn’t make it, but most of the artists were ready to tackle the job at hand.

 

George and I headed out to explore painting sites marked for us on a map and to pick up wine for cocktail hour.  Note:  remember to bring your own in to the park as none is served or available here.  All of the artists enjoy a glass before dinner and chat about the days adventures.  This has become a tradition with the group.  So…we are ready for tonight.

 

After breakfast we packed our own lunch to take out with us as we paint.  For today we will eat in then go out as it is chilly and windy near the water where I plan to paint.

This will be fun to watch the painting collection grow from the first two Neil did to probably close to 80 by the time we leave here.  Several of the artists have been regulars on the FMBAA trips and some newbies have joined us.  There is a contingent of 8 from Savanah for us to get to know.    I’ll try to post some paintings as I can.
