Paint out, February 3

It was a beautiful day at the N. Tracy Blvd. location yesterday. There were six artist present, Charlotte, Jesus', Marie, Janet, Vince, and myself. My husband
came also, brought a chair and a book, and took some pics for us (attached). Vince's pic is from last time we were there.
The colors had changed just since we were there last time, and it was an afternoon sun. 

I passed out some notes on composition from Edgar Payne's book. I have attached the notes here too.

We are are talking about traveling to Lodi on Tues. Feb. 19th, weather/fog permitting. To paint, there are a couple of wineries in consideration.
If anyone wants to paint before Feb. 19th, please include me and let me know when and where. 

How many of you visit the TPAA blog? If all of you do, I will eliminate emails entirely and just post on the blog. Let me know please. How many of 
you can post photos on the blog? 

Lynne and Alex, we missed you yesterday and hope you can make the next paint out!? Janet, it was good to paint with you again.
