Paint Out at Founders Memorial Park, Old Saybrook, Thurs August 29

The last Thursday in August is coming up this week, and the temperature should be more seasonable than the last few days, though I found the recent cool weather to be a relief. I don't think I've been to Founders Memorial Park so have no photos to show you. I'm looking forward to getting to know it and hope to see you there. Directions as usual at our blog, https://ctsa-guilford.blogspot.com/p/directions-to-venues.html.

Last week at Hammonasset was a bit dull to start with but some amazing clouds appeared in the late morning. John, Betsey, Tom and Veronica were the only regulars, though I also saw two of our Madison painters over the other side of the parking area from the marsh, near the Nature Center.

Paint Out Thurs Aug 22 at Hammonassett, Madison

Our next paint out will be at Hammonassett State Park in Madison; directions as usual on our blog at https://ctsa-guilford.blogspot.com/p/directions-to-venues.html. Note that we will paint at the salt marsh to the right of the Nature Center. Big skies, marsh colors, sea on the horizon.














Last week at Dudley Farm, we had eight painters: Tom, Betsey, Pam, Keiko, Veronica, Candace, John, and Kay. The weather was perfect and we enjoyed painting the house, chicken coop, woods, or barns. The people at the Dudley Farm Museum have finished their lengthy plan to rebuild the barns and will remove the remaining building materials within the next few weeks. I am impressed at how well they rebuilt the barns to look the same as they used to, and now they are safe and ready for the decades to come (and as beautiful as ever for painters).

Paint Out at Dudley Farm, Guilford, Thurs Aug 15

This week we'll be at one of my favorite places to paint, the Dudley Farm Museum. https://dudleyfarm.com/ Directions as usual at https://ctsa-guilford.blogspot.com/p/directions-to-venues.html. (They have a popular farmers market here on Saturday mornings.)

The grounds here are beautiful and interesting with barns, a field, the house museum, animals (sheep, oxen, and chickens), a community garden tucked into the woods, and the entrance to a hiking trail. Plenty of shade, restroom available.
Hope to see you there.

Paint Out Thurs August 8 Old Lyme

Our next paint out will be at Great Island Boat Launch, Old Lyme. Directions as usual at https://ctsa-guilford.blogspot.com/p/directions-to-venues.html.

Last week in Old Saybrook, Kay, Keiko, and Veronica painted. Tom came by on his way to a critique session in Wallingford. It was very pleasant in the shade, painting The Kate with a tent for some event. (One painting below is from three weeks ago on the Madison Green.)

I'll be away for the session in Old Lyme but back the following week at Guilford's Dudley Farm.
