I love this time of year when we have a full complement of painters who tend to come every week like clockwork. Ten of us turned up at Dudley Farm this morning on a gloomy but mellow day. But the leaves have been quietly falling, and the remaining foliage colors are subdued, with quite a bit of green still there on this third week in October -- still having had no frost. Will we have to pay for this long season of relative warm, like last year, with a rapid plunge into a long, hard winter?......
Anyway, who could complain about the conditions we had today, even if the sun did not shine until after we were gone? We were Kay, Sally, Hans, Jay, David M I think for the first time this season, Betsey, Silvia, Cheryl, new member Sandy Murray out with us for the first time, and me. Although I think we spent about half our time chatting, we all managed to express ourselves in paint, as well. Sandy worked in acrylic. David had to leave early.
After we finished, Sally toured the inside of the house and shot a few pics, which are included here.
Next week, lets try Foote Park in Branford again. I'll post the directions.
I just wanted to note -- for those of you who subscribe to the email feeds -- since the photos don't work quite the same as when we sent them directly by email, if you want to see the photos pretty much full-screen in a slide show, you can get that by going to the blog and clicking on any photo and then navigating through them. It's really a nicer way to view them. If you want to save a photo, you don't have to go to the blog. In your email, right click on the photo and select "save as" or "save all" and then file it where you want it on your computer. That also gives you more options for how you view the photos.
