Welcome young and old, beginner and experienced to the "Artists of the Endless Mountains"
Each year several of us who love to draw and paint try to organize ourselves to paint together. Finally, after playing "phone tag" we decide on a time and place and can't understand why we don't do it more often. Inevitably, our time together is wonderful. We learn so much from each other and enjoy seeing the same subject matter from our own unique perspective. More importantly, we give each other those encouraging remarks all artists need to hear. By the end of our gathering each of us anxiously awaits the next time we will get together. However, with only our paints and pallets in hand and NOT our calendars we once again play "phone tag" to set up our next meeting sight.
My goal with this blog is to try and get us a bit more organized (artist and organizational skills don't always go hand in hand, especially for me). After talking with a few people I have painted with in the past we have decided on a time that stays consistent from week to week rain or shine. If you can make it WONDERFUL if not we will miss seeing you that week, but hopefully you will catch up with us the following week.
I am going to try and post directions on this blog to most of our painting sights, but I will have directions at each weekly meeting. You may also want to google it if you are comfortable with that process. We have decided on the first three painting sights since summer is a very busy time for all of us. This will be a year round painting group. In bad weather (rain or snow) we are planning to use the room above the Beach office in Eagles Mere. If that changes I will let you know via this site.
The time for our artist gathering will always be 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM on Wednesdays of that month. You may want to bring a lunch for our discussions afterward. I plan on taking photographs of each of our paintings in progress and posting them on the sight. It does not matter whether they are completed. We just want to have fun.
Our painting sights are as follows:
June 16 at Dincher's Roadside stand on Rt. 220 Tivoli (carpool meet at outlet pond 8:30)
June 23 at Bird Song Winery off of Rt 22o in Dushore. Detailed directions will follow, but you can go to their website birdsongwinery.com for details. (carpool meet at outlet pond 8:30)
June 30 at Joan Werner's (Solamere), 215 Happy Hill Lane, Eagles Mere. Lots to paint in and around Happy Hill Lane with views of North Mountain, ponds, pastures, streams. I'll provide lunch for all who join us. Just let me know if you can. My email address is fond111@gmail.com
Looking forward to meeting all of you.
Joan Werner
