There were Painting Subjects galore at the

Meek Retreat

Granbury Lake House

By the time we reached the lake house, set up, settle in,

picked our subject, drew and started painting it was time to

eat lunch, paint some more then pack up and head home.

We started our paintings but will have to finish at home.

The following are pictures of our starts...

Our Paint Out at Martha Sue's Meek Retreat was

great fun and we learned that painting outside is not always the

easiest thing to do.  It was a pretty day, lots of sunshine but

very windy.  We enjoyed the outdoors, good friends and experienced

"The Art of Plein Air Painting"

By the end of the day some were getting a bit silly but very happy.

So long for now!

Visit again soon to see the next painting, project or outing....
