Thursday Paintsites had eighteen participants in the Amazing Race - Santa Cruz Mountain Edition! Following the clues of our host at Patchen Christmas Tree Farm (https://patchencalifornia.com) and SCVWS website instructions, our painters persevered despite being fooled by the Google map instructions!While it was an unseasonably warm day, it didn't dampen the holiday spirits of Lora, Lin, Brad, Janice, Jane, Jayne, Cindy L, Karen (and sis Cindy L2), Claudia, Dick, Salinda, Marni, Monique, Alison, Kathryn, Dale and Ricky. Santa Helpers, and the scents of Christmas inspired some festive paintings..
THU, DEC 16: Central Wholesale Nursery, San Jose
HAPPY HOLIDAYS
