Jan will be conducting a Plein Air Watercolor Class on June 18th at the Eagle Creek Saloon pond area. Class will be $20 a person and the main topic will be Water Lillies. Anyone wishing to attend can contact Jan at the Distillery. The Lilly Pads are about to bloom, so bring your yellows and greens or what ever colors you wish to make them. The weather is supposed to be nice. The restaurant is just a few yards away for facilities and lunch or bring your own sack lunch.
Those wanting to post their paintings or Works in Progress are welcome to post their photos. Hope you all can make it.
NOTE: The banks of the pond are covered in flowering plants and therefore attracting many various Pollinator Insects.If you are allergic to Bee stings or Pollen, bring essentials, like bug spray, etc. Remember to maintain your Social Distancing as provided by COVID-19 Guidelines. Please respect one another. Please don't go down the road any further than the Culvert. There are additional Landscape views, to the parking area across the highway. There is also parking alongside the beach area.

Todays Watercolor Class for Plein Air/ Water Lillies
Jan's Class had a great turn out of about 10 Artists. Most of us showed up between 9:30 and ten, this morning and Jan passed around an Agenda, showing a few different ways to capture Negative shapes. There were lots of critters there, like a Beaver, Garden Snake, Red winged Blackbirds, Swallows, Dragonflies and many more. Most of us did landscapes of the Pond and thousands of Lilly Pads with bright yellow blossoms. We broke for lunch around Noon and most of us had fare inside the Eagle Creek Saloon, with their famous Burgers and the like. Karen even made and brought a delicious Chocolate Cake. We had to be careful, not to fall off our chairs, whilst taking a nap afterwards. Everyone survived and no mishaps. A brief showing and critiquing later by Jan. Then we packed up for the ride back to our home. Beautiful paintings by all and a great experience. We may do it again later.Here are some photos taken before everyone started their painting. There will be more later, shared by others of their works. A special thanks to Jan Morris for making this possible.
