Sunday at Stewart Hall

Last 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!!
