We joined with four other painters in a three day painting holiday at Blackheath, NSW Australia. Blackheath is a lovely old town at the top of the Blue Mountains, not too far from my home at Mulgoa.
We stayed at a rental cottage and travelled to nearby lookouts, painting all day, every day.
John Rice (right) paints atmospheric rural scenes with huge gums and misty rivers; Don Talintyre (centre) is an established plein-air landscape artist; Bob, my husband, came for the company. (he doesn't paint.)
Salwa Woodroffe (above) is a "modern" oil painter, who paints a variety of subjects, such as portraits and landscapes,
where as I (above) am half modern, but trying to practice a more traditional method for my landscapes en Plein air.
We also had a talented local artist, David Landgrebe, paint with us each day (left).
Here are some random shots from the days:
