Paint Out in Branford, Thurs Oct 31

Our destination this Thursday will be Foote Memorial Park in Branford, directions as usual on our blog at https://ctsa-guilford.blogspot.com/p/directions-to-venues.html. The forecast isn't promising, but who knows? Maybe we'll get to paint...

Last Thursday was a beautiful day, sunny and breezy. We were at Great Island Boat Launch in Old Lyme. Diana, Beverly, Paul, Veronica, and Pam wrapped up warmly and enjoyed this lovely spot. As we worked, the owner of the moored sailboat arrived towing his dinghy, rowed out to his sailboat, rigged it and sailed away! Fortunately, those painting the sailboat had already captured the needed information (partially finished paintings below).

Paint Out in Old Lyme on Thurs Oct 24

This week our destination is Great Island Boat Launch in Old Lyme. Directions as usual on our blog at https://ctsa-guilford.blogspot.com/. My recent attempts at finding a promising forecast for our Thursdays have been totally unsuccessful. But, this week, the Weather Channel promises 60 degrees, sunny, and no rain. Don't hold me to it, but it does look great. See you in Old Lyme.

Last week at Maynard's Farm Stand in Old Saybrook, it was extremely windy, still part of the nor'easter; I didn't see any painters and it was too windy for me to stay and paint, but I must say it is a very appealing spot. I took this photo so we can all see what we missed!

Paint Out Thurs Oct 17 in Old Saybrook

This week we will be at Maynard's Farm Stand and Oyster River in Old Saybrook. Directions as usual at our blog at https://ctsa-guilford.blogspot.com/ in the right-hand column. I haven't been there yet so have no photos for you. The weather is forecast to be windy and cool but maybe I'll get there this time. My new issue of Watercolor Artist magazine features an article Paint Outside (Even in Winter); the artist is Shari Blaukopf who lives in Montreal. Well, it will be chilly on Thursday but it isn't Montreal...

Since I have no photos from Maynard's Farm Stand, here's a gorgeous recent watercolor painting of chickens at Dudley Farm by one of our fellow CTSA painters.

Paint Out at Bauer Farm Park in Madison, Thurs October 10

Let's hope the weather is better on Thursday than it was last week. I didn't go out in the chilly rain and imagine not too many others did either. This week we'll be back at Bauer Farm where the fall colors must be in full swing. Pond, gazebo, bridge, fields, woods, community gardens, and farm house with barns. Lots to paint. These photos are from previous visits. Directions as usual on our blog at https://ctsa-guilford.blogspot.com/.
Hope to see you there.
