Week 34, November 1 to 7, 2020

Susan BG, Laurie, XL, Toni, Kris, Claudia, Marni and I enjoyed a clear warm day at Santa Teresa County Park. The unofficial Thursday paint site theme was a turkey trot and although there were quadrupeds- Tule Elk, cattle and horses, and bipeds- hikers and birds, the only turkeys we found were turkey vultures. -Alison


Paint site Guidelines

Please check the Paintsites website for details including directions and possible cancellations. To keep our members and guests as safe as possible during the COVID-19 era, we must change how we do things. Some of the paint sites have visitor limits. When this occurs we will post the information in paint site details on the SCVWS website. Participants must wear masks and observe the 6 ft. distancing rule. We no longer take photos of paintings on site. Please take your own photo, crop if needed, and submit  to paintsites@scvws.org 


Blog Submission Guidelines

We invite Paintsites' 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 per week, please.

Laurie's painting from the day use area.
What a beautiful day, with perfect weather and the nice company of
women artists at the Santa Teresa County Park’s Pueblo Day Use Area!
  
It was nice to get back to plein air painting, after 9  months of COVID
shelter-in-place.
  My view of Mt. Hamilton reminded me of how I
celebrated my July birthday at the Grand View Restaurant, which
is almost at the top of Mt. Hamilton, and has a GREAT view of our valley.
