Paintsites Blog: Week 15, June 21

Week 15, June 21 - June 27, 2020

As California eases its shelter in place mandates, some of us are venturing further afield. If you are out and about, remember to check online to see what parks and open space areas are open, as well as their parking and restroom restrictions. Be careful, observe social distancing and wear a mask when others are in the area.

We will continue to publish the weekly blog during the "Shelter in Place" requirements while Thursday and Weekend paintsites are cancelled. We invite paintsite artists to paint or sketch during the week, pick one painting from that week and submit it by Saturday of that week. Here are some guidelines:

Submit a digital photo of your artwork to paintsites@scvws.org. Cropped photos are preferred.
Include your name, the date and comments about the site or unique media notes.
Be creative! Some of your best subjects are in or around your home. You may want to paint from personal photos of your travels.
Submissions after Saturday midnight will appear in the following week's blog.
One submission per member, please.

Please check the SCVWS.org website for Paintsites updates and the SCVWS Newsletter for some great art opportunities during this time. Our paintsite leaders and board are having discussions about when we can resume our Thursday and Weekend group outings. Check the newsletter and website for announcements.

The Orpheum by Tanvi. "When I went to see Hamilton last year - feels like another era."

"An American red robin sitting on her nest outside my window was the perfect live model. I took a photo in case she flew away but the screen blurred the image. Luckily she stayed put until I was finished." by Jane S.
