               Directions
    Thanks so much to Barbara Donahue and her family for letting us come and invade her property and paint it. It could not have been better weather, the company was good and the food was just right. To see photos of the day go to the Paint-out page.

Wow! What a turnout for our first All Member get together. Thanks to all who came from far across the State to meet your fellow painters and paint the lovely views from Barbara home. Everyone seemed to have a good time, and apparently artists are also good cooks!  Barb made BBQ beef and all of us brought sides.  This went so well, we are sure to plan more in the future.  Please check the Paintout page for upcoming locations to paint with your fellow APAP members.
