Across The Field

It was a wonderful day out painting with friends. Gorgeous clear blue skies with puffy white clouds scuttling about to add interest provided the perfect backdrop to a perfect day at Paramount Ranch in Agoura, CA. After I painted my first, smaller study, I walked across the field to talk with George. The view was so pretty, I decided to set up next to him and painted away until everyone broke for lunch.
The Ranch has been used by the studios for years for filming. There is a western type town, a large grassy field and lots of beautiful trees and trails. At one time there was even a race track, but that is now largely overgrown and in disarray.
All of us who met together for this month's California Art Club Ventura/Malibu Chapter paint-out enjoyed a lovely place to paint and a wonderful opportunity to get together and learn more about one another and the art we all love. I enjoyed sharing lunchtime with my friend, Sharon Weaver, and talking with Kay Henry, Susie Bishop, Joan H. Young, Laura Wambsgans and Dyane Jackson. I enjoyed meeting Kim In Chol and seeing Joe Napolitano again. I should have stayed longer to get to know the others but I had to leave to pick up Tyler from school. It was a great day!
Much has been discussed about the benefits of joining clubs or groups of artists but I'd say seeing the variety of style and learning about the many similarities and differences among the people who enjoy making art definitely a huge plus!
