And to All a Good Night

Greetings to All,

Well, it was almost going to be. The forecast for tomorrow calls for mostly sunny and mid-to high 30's. But that doesn't pair well with a robust breeze from the southwest, since to benefit from the heat of the sun you also have to be in the wind. So let's call it a wrap for 2013 and ramp up the studio production.

We painted together 30 times this year, starting on April 4 and ending on December 12, including two special broader group paint-outs in Lyme and New London. We'll still aim for mid-March for our first paint-out of 2014.

I'll be seeing some of you in the Madison Wednesday watercolor studio, starting on January 8. And Lyme's first show of 2014 receives on January 5, followed by Madison's member show receiving on February 1. I'll be working on a schedule of show details for 2014 as soon as that information starts hitting the airways. I'll also be working on our paint-out schedule, so if you have any suggestions for new venues, please either leave a comment on this post or send me an email. We will be sticking with our Thursday schedule for the entire season, rather than switching between Tuesday and Thursday.

I wish you a joyous, safe holiday season, and I'm looking forward to a fulfilling new year of painting and appreciating art together.
