Lunch was provided for us by Judy and Lori, egg salad sandwiches,
cookies, chips and a drink. Thanks so much.

So many painting
sites to chose from, each provided a challenge as
beauty of this kind is hard to improve on, let along capture.
Thousands of tulips were at their prime, peacocks, ducks, and artists
filled the garden.
In the morning there was the threat of rain.
It never came, but later in the day,
the sun was accompanied by high winds.
The fountain was a popular
subject.

Robin was at work
early in the morning.
Here he is working on a
compositional drawing.

an intriguing site.

Here's her painting! |

Chuck Harris painted
the archway . . . |

Tulips and flowering trees were a
hit!
