| Helen Tilston painting en plein air |
As my art partners sing when the pressure gets high "Mamma told me there would be days like this".
This always makes me giggle to listen to Violetta sing in her soft Russian accent and Mary Rose in her Southern USA soft lilt. Well, I can hardly claim neutrality with my Irish accent.
Each week has brought excitement and deadlines and we are comfortable knowing Coastal Cottages Series 12 is hung and opens tonight at Salt Rock Grill. The largest piece is a triptych, one panel painted by each artist, en plein aire. It is one of the most exciting pieces for us. The scene depicts Indian Rocks Beach, the palms, the sea and the incredible light and sky
