Our painting morning at Freda's started out with a bit more excitment than we'd anticipated: We had to delay our drive up the hill to her home while fire engines worked on putting out a fire in the area. Luckily, we only had to wait a little while and then our caravan proceeded uphill past the hippity hoppity artwork our hostess had painted on roadmarkers along the way. What we found when we arrived was a variety of painting choices, good company, and a delicious luncheon. Certainly they all added up to a wonderful Friday courtesy of a wonderful hostess!

We were guests of Melinda Scott and her husband at Carden Beach condos this morning and even though we really didn't plan it and were not all painting in the same spot, we all seemed to be attracted to the same scene. This was a good example of how we all might approach the same subject but because of our individual styles, techniques, and choice of mediums, end up with diverse results. While painting, we were entertained by kite surfers playing with the wind currents between Pull Point and Candle Cay, sea birds, and the occasional sailboat on its way to Buck Island. It was the first time we'd painted at Carden Beach and it was a lovely morning for all of us.
Hammocks, palm trees, orchids: what a great array of things to paint and sketch!
