Brushes On the Broads...

Plein air painters often go out on their own so it’s always a welcome opportunity whenever events are organised that allow us to spend time with loads of like minded painters.

I’ve attended A Brush With The Broads for 4 out of 5 events it has organised so far and have enjoyed each one in equal measure. At the end of September, we all gathered again, this time at Hall Farm Cottages in Horning in Norfolk for some fun activities of plein air painting, painting demonstrations and competitions. We even got to have at least one meal together. 

This year it rained! It rained and rained and rained but for the more intrepid amongst us this did little to dampen our spirits and we forged on stoically taking advantage of the short breaks and occasional bursts of sunshine.

To some it might seem a little foolhardy but we all have our interests and the little things for which we make personal sacrifices. When you enjoy it, it does not feel like hardship. What’s a bit of rain between friends eh?

I’m certainly looking forward to the next session and as I make my painting related plans for next year one thing I am considering is making more time with fellow artists out in the open doing what we enjoy best.
