CFWS had a nice turnout for plein air at Kraft Azalea Garden. Dan, Debbie, Karen, Leslie, Sandi, Thouraya and Tom enjoyed the great weather while appreciating the lakeside vistas. There was even a female anhinga who posed while drying her wings.

Thouraya’s painting of Lake Maitland. She started the foreground by painting with one of the many cypress needles that were scattered all over.




The next Plein Air event is Saturday Jan 17, 2026 from 10a-3p at Cypress Grove Park, 290 Holden Ave, Orlando. We’ll meet near the gazebo and the playground. Hope to see you there!
Best wishes for a wonderful holiday season!
