Our artists are continuing to paint outdoors. Many of them are working with the Eagle Eyes group painting a boat house on the west side.

Mural is almost done!

We had a great time working on the mural this past weekend.  We are hoping it will be all finished by next weekend. Great project!  And it was a delight to see Colleen O'Connor again, our original president who has moved out of the area.  She was in Manchester over the weekend, saw our group and borrowed brushes and paint to join in. Thank you, Colleen (photo below).

Bea Bearden jumped in when the opportunity arose. She loves to paint portraits and it appears flowers too.

Linda Feinberg (this blogger) with her first time painting on brick. Anthony Williams is a great coach and this was the first time painting on brick for several others too. Thank you to Bea for the two photos above.

Our newest artist, Shirley Perry. She has been a photographer for a long time and has just started painting lessons this year. She's not afraid to learn something new and loves it. Stop by the location and see how much she has finished now.
