Mar. 18 at Lake Kokanee
We had 5 brave painters and one guest, show up today, Oz didn't start a fire, so we struggled through the chill. The Dryer worked well as a hand warmer, as well. Everyone had their ideas and paints in order. It was fun to talk about new texture paints. We had a pair of Geese to guard us. Thanks again to Lake Cushman Maint. for allowing us to use the facilities! Here are a few of our projects, for the day.

Mar. 25 Plein Air
Four of us showed today. We had a little wind and drizzle, but all in all, not a bad paint day. Here are a couple of our works. We discussed getting together for the Month of April and Jan will send out an email with her thoughts, real soon. Next week is Nancy's Birthday, so we plan to have a little Party for her at Lake Kokanee Park. Hope you can make it.

I missed the painting fun this week but I'm looking forward to celebrating with Nancy next Thursday. I went out on last (rainy) Sunday and took photos and today started my sketch of koi pond while I was in the covid-queue. Those fish don't care if it rains.

The little bird seems to like it!

Sorry. Guess I should explain. That is the working end of a steam driven cabler ( Steam Donkey), which was used to drag lumber to collection points for transport, in the Lumber Industry, back in the day. It is on display at the Lake Kokanee Park, next to our Gazebo. They also had portable Steam Donkeys, which would power up their equipment. The Mason County Historical Society probably has many photos of all the De- Forestation Equipment used back in the day.
And yes, the birds seem to like it very much. We had a pair of Mallards and several Canada geese supervising our work and looking for hand outs.
