The big gala for the Open Air Arts at Bellamy
Road Arts and Melrose Bay Art Gallery, is this
weekend,
Sat. April 11 from 6 to 10 PM.
With over 75 artists contributing to the event
it should make for quite a show.
During the week of painting I had some luck.
I was in the park painting a view of the Bay when
t
his young woman sat down to catch some raysand read her book.
I was in the shadow under a tree so she didn't at first
see me. (Plein air painters avoid setting up in the sun,
unless you have an umbrella to shield your canvas from sun glare.)
Ahh hahh... I couldn't have asked for a better model!
