Winter Session January to March 2025

 We had an early start on Friday January 3^rd and have been busy since then preparing for display on the Stittsville Public Library Art Wall for the month of March.

 

Gerry participated in North Grenville Arts Guild’s Wonderfall Art Show and Sale at the WB George Centre, Kemptville Campus.

He made a wonderful, eye-catching coat and hat for the occasion – congratulations, Gerry!

24th August: Plein Air, Richmond

This month’s plein air took place at a dairy farm in Richmond, where we were hosted by Sara’s niece. It proved a very successful visit, starting with a tour of the farm and providing a variety of subjects to paint.

The Turkish restaurant in Richmond provided an interesting menu and excellent service.

17th July Plein Air Spencerville

Our second time holding a plein air in Spencerville, on this occasion at Gerry’s beautiful place. It was a great location: plenty of garden scenes and even a neighbour’s barn over the road to choose from.

It was also an ideal location for our potluck lunch, with loads of tasty items to complement Gerry’s BBQ hot dogs.

The 2023/24 year now over, plans are in the making for a plein air mid-July and another mid-August, before we regroup at Stittsville Public Library on Friday 6 September for the coming 2024/25 year.

We celebrated the end of another successful year with a group luncheon at Amberwood Lounge and Eatery on Friday 21 June.
