Our painters enjoy the outdoors, be it talking to the animals or crouching in a garden.

If you are a member ( you do not have to be, to try out the Outdoor Painters Group) you will enjoy the fellowship and sharing it provides. All this for very little $2.00 each time (only when you use the gallery) it is free to all, when we are location. So why not!
