On Thursday April 14th, about 12 artists painted together at Gina Strumpf's home in Charlotte.  We had several first timers and a few new members.  Gina is a wonderful artist and lives on a beautiful property full of azaleas, dogwoods, flowers and winding brick paths.  This day was one of those unusual weather days which was heavenly.  There is no other way to describe it.  The light was consistent, no wind, no bugs. plenty of shade.  We all had 4 - 5 hours to take it all in.  My painting actually became what I would call a studio painting as I worked on it for about 4 hours.  I think we will try to do this next April again.


Below are a few photos.
