Call to Paint at Meig's Point, Thurs Sept 27

We'll be painting at Meig's Point, Hammonasset Beach State Park, Madison, a favorite spot for painters, this week. Directions as usual at our blog at https://ctsa-guilford.blogspot.com/. Rocks, beach, and sea, and if too chilly, there are ponds and marsh in the other direction. See you there.

Call to Paint at Dudley Farm Thurs Sept 20

Paint out at Dudley Farm, Guilford, on Thursday. One of our painters will be at Bauer Farm Park in Madison instead this week and you might prefer to join her. Directions to both locations are on our blog at

On another matter: The Hyland House Museum will repeat last year's very successful fundraiser on Sunday October 14 from 5 to 8.30 pm at the Owenego Inn in Branford. Funds raised will help put a new roof on the museum. For more information, please visit www.hylandhouse.org. Also, the organizers would love to have donations of paintings for the art auction; last year a watercolor of the rear of the museum featuring the famous shed roof caused lots of excitement. I know that many of you have painted on the property; perhaps you have a Hyland House painting you would be willing to donate (or any painting would be welcome, of course). If so, please contact me at veronicadotsoellatgmaildotcom.

Last week on the Branford Green brought out three painters (Nancy, Betsey, and Veronica) and one visitor (Jane). It was a very pleasant morning.

Last week at Clinton's Town Beach was remarkably nice considering the hot weather. A breeze off the sea made it very comfortable, and we had six painters, Keiko, Nancy, Marlu, Jane, Betsey, and Veronica.

Last week at the Florence Griswold Museum was beautiful if hot. We found shade and plenty to paint. Nancy, MarLu, Sandy, and Veronica painted there; Karen stopped by later with the painting she did elsewhere in Old Lyme that morning.
