What a gorgeous day at Codorus State Park yesterday - and
thanks to Sharon Benner for making the arrangements
and paint. We met in the morning, stopped to have a picnic
lunch beside the beautiful lake, and then continued painting
at another site.  The whole day was a little slice of heaven...
We all want to go back to paint there again in the fall.

Besides seeing Canadian Geese swimming with their
fuzzy little goslings, bluebirds, purple martins, and a
magnificent Great Blue heron - we were visited by fellow
Daily Painters of Pennsylvania member Charlotte Yealey!

What a wonderful post. Ralph needs his granddaughter to post online for him. He paints daily and is so active in the arts community of Central PA.

Beautiful paintings and a great week to paint outdoors!

Beautiful play of light, as usual, Claire! I'm feeling envious of your group painting on this site -- three posts by three different artists and it looks like you had a fabulous time.

Thank you Mary Beth, Bertie and Amy. Amy - I am looking forward to painting with you at Gettysburg!

Deborah Nell said...

Sounds like you had a wonderful day. Beautiful paintings. From your post, almost felt like I was there.

I am jealous of the wonderful time it looks like you all had. I really should visit you all for a paint out.
