Lakeside Paintout

This was the only painting left after the Pleinair Show and Sale. Most paintings were still wet. What a fun weekend!! CLICK HERE to read the story behind STONE COLLECTION

The two that sold are below. They are like little babies to me and I tenderly packaged them and gently handed them into the hands of their new "mommies."

This [Washed by the Son] was my favorite.

This next one is my second favorite and I was so happy to sell this to our beloved B&B owner, Carole Pierce. Below these paintings are a few images of the Eveningsong Cottage Bed and Breakfast where we enjoyed 3 amazingly relaxing days and evenings.

Carole and Gary are wonderful to us. And a very special thank you to Mary Dziak for planning another wonderful weekend at Lakeside, Ohio for the OHIO PLEINAIR SOCIETY.

We enjoyed making new friends and getting re-acquainted with old friends.

On the right, is Martha, and she is 94 and so healthy and joyful. A dear to talk with. At the very back, is Blanch, who is speaking in her native tongue: Czechoslovakian. She speaks one of the two dialects in this country. Blanch is 80. We also crossed paths with a couple from our neck of the woods, Springfield, Ohio. Three other ladies, we jokingly referred to as "The motley crew," provided us with mirth. There were many more people we enjoyed as well. Just too many to name.

The weather was gorgeous the entire weekend. As we left, I took numerous photos of the lake. The skies were amazing every moment, any time of the day. I can't wait till next year and I hope you will enjoy some of the Weekly Paintings to come (from this wonderful trip).

	I can see why these sold! I esp. love that middle one (Washed by the Son) and the beautiful cool colors. Well, they're all lovely. And what a fun time you all had painting out!

	The Lakeside Paintout was all out wonderful! I guess I have to jump on the bandwagon and say that "Washed By the Son" is also my favorite. Matthew 11:28 in the Amplified Bible came to mind when I saw this painting. Jesus is saying, "Come to Me and I will ease and relieve and refresh your souls." This painting, to me, is a visual of that scripture. How refreshing it is! And if I were stressed and standing in that spot where you were when you painted it, my mind would definitely be put at ease and relieved. What a place it would have been to get lost in the worship of our Great God who created Lakeside for our enjoyment! Every week the paintings just keep getting better and better. What a gift God has given you!
