None of us had ever been here before and thanks to friend, Diane, who gave us a head's up about where are the best places on the 400 acres, we found a lovely shady spot.Sure enough...windy again. Not quite as bad as last Wednesday but it was blowing a little storm into Central Florida which dropped rain later around 7 pm.
But we had splendid sunshine all morning so painted from 9:30 to 12:30 and then had a lovely picnic lunch together. We all worked in wc except for Sherese who worked in pastel.
What a super morning. We chose the koi pond (although none of us painted the fish today), with scenic overview of the pastures below, gentle pond shadows and gates.
After lunch we walked the carriage museum ($10 each) for a unique look at the some really amazing carriages of all sizes and shapes. Most were once horse-drawn. Who knew there were that many?
This was our last hurrah for this season I think. Dawn is RVing off to NC for some sailing regattas and the rest of us have trips and company coming. We all hope to get together again next November!!!Up north (in WI) Florie Enders has put together our en plein air schedule for the summer. So I'll be joining that gang up there in mid-June.
I have signed up for a John Lovett workshop at Dillmans in early June this summer. Am SO excited.
