Leslie and Karen concentrate on their painting, down by the lake.
We had 7 plein air artists paint by the lake at Cypress Grove on Saturday. Thouraya, Sandy, Marcela, Debbie, Karen, Leslie, and Terri enjoyed a breezy day painting a gazebo, Great Blue Heron and the shore of Lake Jessamine. It was fun to get together to enjoy each other’s company and exchange tips on painting outdoors.

Sandi had a great tip on an Easel Butler (from Canada) which hooks around the legs or your easel creating a shelf. It can hold some type of tray or board to hold your paints, palettes and other tools.
