Paint Thurs June 20 at Old Saybrook

Our venue this week is new to CTSA. It is at Maynard's Farm Stand and the Oyster River. Directions as usual on our blog at https://ctsa-guilford.blogspot.com/, in the right-hand column.

Last week on Thursday the heavens opened; I didn't brave the weather, so I don't know whether any of you were there. One of our painters sent me her sketches from the previous week at Clinton Boat Launch.

With a heavy heart, I pass on the news that our dear and gifted friend Hans Flink passed away in late May. Here are some memories:

Paint at Bauer Farm Park, Madison, Thurs May 30

We end the month of May at Bauer Farm. I hope the weather will be more amenable this month; we've had chilly, windy, overcast, and maybe May will be more welcoming this week, but I've  been wrong too many times so I'm not counting on it.

Bauer Park is a lovely place. Interesting old farm house building and outbuildings; pond with bridge, gazebo, fields and woods, picnic shelter for rainy weather, lane leading to allotments with gardeners.

Directions as usual at our blog, https://ctsa-guilford.blogspot.com/p/directions-to-venues.html

Hope to see you there.

Paint-Out at Neck Road Boat Launch, Madison, Thurs May 23

Our next paint-out will be in Madison at the boat launch. Directions on our blog at https://ctsa-guilford.blogspot.com/. From the parking lot you can see the Grass Island Shack in Guilford, the East River, and the Neck Road houses against the skyline.

Last week at Clinton Town Beach was very windy and rather cold, although the sky was full of dramatic clouds. Several intrepid painters ventured out but I was late and chatted with them as they were leaving. Therefore, no photos of paintings.
