A sunny morning in downtown Midland brought lots of patrons to Espresso Milano to sit outside and enjoy some sunshine with their coffee.

Priscilla again chose a subject with moving details (people) to convey the feeling of the morning.

This is as far as two hours got her, but a good enough start to make another visit - sometime very soon!

MOP LOCATION: Saturday Aug. 24

A beautiful morning at Barstow Woods!

Vicki's painting is of a view looking out to the dog park from the edge of the woods.

Donna chose to "look the other way" and painted the woods from the edge of the dog park!

Priscilla stepped outside the park to paint the Barstow Picnic Shelter.  They were setting up for a child's birthday party.

She actually finished this one on the spot.  Well, almost.  "After the Picnic",  8" x 10"

MOP LOCATION: Saturday, Aug. 10

We'll meet at Barstow Woods Park this time.  Parking is just off of Saginaw Rd. north of the Circle and south of West St. Andrews.

Saturday was a lovely sunny morning at Margorie's house.  

Vicki was attracted to the way the light hit the side of trailing willow leaves and the light patterns on the grass beneath the willow tree.

She got right to work on an orange-toned ground which showed off the yellow-greens to good advantage.  Note the difference in hue between the painting and the photo of the willow taken on site.  In natural lighting, the camera really dropped out the yellows.
Still a bit of work to be done, especially on the shrub in the lower RH corner.
