Sunday at Stewart Hall
Posted: July 11, 2024 Filed under: Uncategorized 18 CommentsLast Sunday was a perfect day for the CSPWC/SCPA plein air painting day at Stewart Hall in Pointe Claire, and we had an amazing turnout of artists for the event. I had no idea how many people would join us, but sketchers just kept arriving with their stools and their sketchbooks, including several from out of town. I can’t believe that I managed to get a sketch completed because there were so many friends (including lots from USk Montreal) who came out to draw, and there was much catching up to do.

What fun it was to see my good friends Laurel and Marc Taro Holmes again. As we have done for many years, Marc and I sit together to draw but we talk the whole way through and catch up on what each of us has been doing for the past year.

At the end of the event we all gathered for a photo and to show our work. The drawings were spectacular and I hope to make this an annual event. Thanks so much to EVERYONE who came out. You made my week!! And thanks to Stewart Hall for welcoming us!!



















Looks like so much FUN!!,
It really was!!
Lovely sketch Shari and great to see you and Marc sat next to each other … brings back happy memories of seeing and sketching with you both in Montreal and Galway.
It was so much fun. Really like old times!!
Oh! Your painting is so beautiful, Shari! And you painted it on your lap? No easel?
Thanks Carmen! Yes, I painted on my lap. When I am alone, I do that often. I am so used to painting in my car so it’s an easy position for me!
What a great crowd! And your painting is lovely. Interesting to see how you and Marc looked at the same thing, but your paintings are so different.
Beautiful weather, gorgeous venue, inspiring works of art. Thanks so much for inviting us 🙂
Great to see you and Marc together. I feel lucky to have sketched with both of you. Hugs.
How lucky to be able to gather with this talented group-love your painting, and really love your pink sneakers!
This looks like a super CSPWC event! Thanks for sharing.
It sounds like the event was so much fun! I’m glad you had such a good turnout…only wish I lived closer. lol I love the way you handled the brickwork on the building. Great to see you and Marc seated together.
Looks like a terrific event. Congratulations, Shari. Wish I lived closer.
What a cool event.
Congratulation for making this a HUGE success for the CSPWC and the sketchers/painters who attended! It looks like a spectacular day for everyone.
