This past hot Tuesday afternoon I drove up to St Michael's to join the Escape Artists at the Wade's Point Inn for a few days and evenings of painting and camaraderie. This group of a dozen or so women have been meeting the first or second week of June for at least a decade. Several of the ladies are in the North End Gallery and I knew a few others from living on the western shore. A few came from a good distance and all came ready for fun, painting and good food. I haven't laughed so much in a awhile!
Wednesday morning started cooler and with glorious sunshine. I did this little painting of a hayfield behind the inn before breakfast and did a couple paintings each day. Some others worked plein air, some were trying new ideas, others developing ongoing ones. All were there to bounce thoughts and ideas off one another. It was a great retreat!
