I was invited to paint with a local plein air group (mostly watercolorists) I didn't know existed. We painted in the center of our small New England town.
I was invited to participate in a Wet Paint auction in Cape Elizabeth, ME. So, my painting buddy, Katie Wilson-Bernatas, and I went up to check out the area and paint outdoors.
Well, after spending a week in Manhattan with Karin Jurick, I came home and painted en plein air, which had nothing at all to do with what I just learned.
