By kind invitation of Karena Goring, the art group enjoyed a very warm "en plien air" painting experience on July 11th at Forge House. Shade was found under trees and umbrellas and along the river bank, but the constant supply of iced water and iced lollies was very welcome. The afternoon was topped off with tea and home made cake all curtesy of Karena.
The cold water was tempting!
Under the Acer tree
Painting the bridge
A shady nook
Monet "eat your heart out!"
Hostess taking a break
Like intrepid explorers seeking shade!
The outdoor group!
