 "Surf at Schoodic Point, Acadia National Park" 18 inches x 24 inches by Michael E. Vermette PAINT-OUT CANCELLED FOR SATURDAY, JANUARY 23! I have decided to cancel the Plein Air Paint out for tomorrow January 26th, 2013. The weather will be just too cold, plummeting well below the low teens considering the wind chill factor. We will cancel paint-out days when the temperature is well below 20 degrees. I know many of you are itching to get out and paint and I would recommend it if you can do it early next week, since it will warm up quite a bit by then according to the weather reports. I may get out myself at the beginning of the week. I hope you are all keeping up with your 20 minute walks. It's about all we can do when the temperature is this cold. Next Saturday February 2nd we will be meeting a little later than usual due to painting drop offs at the Bangor Art Society's member show. We will meet at noon instead of 10 am and go until 2PM. Please make a note of it for those planning to attend. We will discuss chapter 3 of Julia Cameron's book: "Walking In This World." If you would like to facilitate the group discussion next week, please let me know by dropping me an e-mail. The soup and fresh bread has been going quicker than a stick in a wood chipper thanks to my wife Elane and others who have made it in the past. We will continue to have free soup and bread at the Plein Air Connection Discussion Groups especially on these cold days. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and are able to get out a little this weekend. Take care and dress warm. The very best to you all, Michael E. Vermette The Plein Air Connection Coordinator |
