Branford--Supply Ponds and Foote Park-- October 31, 2013

There were several painters who had their hearts set on painting at Foote Park so they gambled with the weather.  Fortunately, the day turned out perfect for them.  It was warm with no wind.  When the sprinkles started, Jay, Betsy, Cheryl and I (Sally) stepped back a few paces and painted in the protection of the shelter.  The sun broke through occasionally, brightening the burnt sienna leaves.

Joan and Judy painted at Supply Ponds. They both were able to get the initial washes down before the rain.  Having to leave early, they were unable to finish their paintings.  Scroll down for Joan's photos of the scenes that inspired them.  First are photos of Foote Park, our group, and our paintings.  We had a great time painting and enjoying a very mild fall day.
