Lopez Island is always
a favorite place for me to paint, and this year
was even better due to the enjoyable company of
artists there. It was a casual and relaxing
environment. We were able to exchange ideas
freely and I felt encouraged to experiment with
new approaches.....looking forward to doing this
again, Anni Leedy

The
Paint-Out was too much fun! Reconnecting with
an inspired bunch of painters is a luxury in
itself, however, painters bring many riches to
the party. They're so funny, and encouraging,
and funny, and generous, and funny, and hard
working, and funny, and interesting, and fun,
and basically an inexhaustible comedy goldmine!
Thanks for the memories and ALL the STORIES! It
was great rubbing shoulders and hearts with all
of you. Blue Skies~ Pat Meras

There is no place quite like an island. Living
on an island myself, I can appreciate the
special fabric of community, pride in
preservation and relationship with nature. They
say that once you have slept on an island, it
has you.

NPS Paint-Outs are perfect for 'getting away' -
'painting all day' - 'artist networking' -
'storytelling' - 'wine tasting'
Yes, our Paint-Outs allow artists to get away
and focus on painting. Each day we had a morning
paint, and a late afternoon paint - when the
light is best! The evenings found us
gathered in our grand suite or a local
restaurant, talking about our day of challenges,
problem-solving and successes, over delicious
food and wine. What could be better?!
Watch for the location of next year's Paint-Out!
