October at Quarry Hill… This was painted on the most beautiful late October day–sunny and 65 degrees, no wind. It was a perfect day for painting. We spent the day at Quarry Hill Orchards and enjoyed the people picking apples, buying pumpkins and enjoying the […]

Yesterday we had lots of plein air painters join The Group, after we were rained/chilled out last week for painting. We all went to the Lakeside Daisy State Nature Preserve in Marblehead, Ohio. What a wonderful flower in a beautiful setting–it was so picturesque. Here […]
