Sixteen painters had great expectations that the rain would hold off. Thursday painters broadened (and practiced) their horizons practicing their atmospheric, one and two point perspective at the Saratoga Heritage Orchard. Alison, Brad, Broncha, Candy, Claudia, Dick, Salinda, Iris, Jane, Jayne, Karen, Lisha, Lora, Sal, Susan BG, and newcomer Sharmin painted among the apricot trees and blossoms. The weather held long enough for an opportunity to review the budding art ~ Alison

| Brad's Tombow ink sketch of the Saratoga Heritage Orchard After two successful (if I say so myself) ink sketches of a couple of gnarled old apricot trees,I thought I was ready for a big-time painting.Turns out I wasn't, so whipped out this Tombow sketch so I'd have something to show for the day. Of course the hi-lite of the day, as always, was sharing time with other Paintsites artists ~ Brad |
