DECEMBER en Plein Air

ALOHA DECEMBER, ALOHA ARTISTS! and a ho ho ho to you (insert bearded smiley face here).....well, here we are- the last month of the year, and teetering on the cusp of a new year- So Very Cool. Every day is paint day, but the purpose of this schedule is a planned group session for each Thursday of each month. We've been going strong for 4 years now! I, personally, have learned a real lot. This is Whale Season, a time of year that we can bear witness to a bit of their annual visit. As you stand before your easels take a moment to reflect upon the ever-present sea, and it's denizens. You could see a whale spouting, breaching or being simply joyful in the not too far distance. No matter how many times I've see them, it is always exciting & awesome.
