The Robert Noreika outdoor acrylics workshop started today, and while the group may be small, already they are having loads of fun!

Oh, the “scenic” painting sites! We’re right in the middle of the beautiful Hudson River/Catskill Mountain region and where does the group go to paint . . . Perhaps it was the closeness to Tommy’s Matt Dogs.

Here is Bob helping Piper with her painting.

This is Bob’s demo painting that he did at the start of today’s session.

And this is Bob’s painting set up. Don’t you just love the unorthodox ingenuity of the stand for his paints — a lawn chair with the back sawn off.

Here are Judith and Yvonne. They are painting the scene of the park across the street.

Bob and Bobbi having a laugh!

Mark says I haven’t been blogging enough about the food. So here is a quick shot of one of my personal favorites — homemade Kaiser rolls. Yumm. They are especially good for dunking in the broth of my Ratatouille dish! But a good slab of butter is nice, too.

And speaking of yummy, we now are serving greek-style yogert at breakfast time. I love this stuff with a good dollop of local honey.
