The PAAC all day paintout yesterday was a blast. I got up very early, drove to Ft. Collins and thought I'd be one of just a few showing up at 5 am to paint. I was "late" at 5:10 am and there were 15 or more painters already deep into their canvas. I pulled into the parking lot at Fossil Ridge Natural Open Space and did a very fast pastel. We painted at 4 locations throughout the day and I'll post those over the next couple days. I met a few painters I havn't seen since last fall and met a few new ones.
Even though I did paint by myself most of the day, I was surrounded by other painters with the same passion for art that I have. It's a great feeling being in the zone.
