 Meeting at Sunday Paintout they found they enjoyed painting in many different areas,  trying to capture and interpret the beauty of Humboldt in oils.

 “When you’re painting with other artists you can share tips, ideas. It’s beneficial to get feedback on location” said Lynn. ” “Everyone  brings different experiences and insights. You can meet so many people and keep learning “, added Jan.
