Peterborough area and are suitable for most people to arrive at in less than 30

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!
