Your three "oil sketches" may be finished or perhaps a study for larger pieces.Either way you will enjoy spending time in the landscape; simplifying, observing and learning the method of abstraction. We will end our day gathered in the Studio Loft,Chetwyn Farms newly converted 1800s barn for sharing and feedback. Light refreshments provided, but you may wish to bring a picnic lunch/snacks to enjoy while painting.

Artist Bio
Pamela Mayhew is an abstract landscape painter with studios in both Prince Edward County and Newfoundland. She interprets the beauty and vastness of landscapes with an eye to abstracting the essence of a view rather than a tighter realistic vision. In this abstraction and mode of observation she creates a sense of place and moment.
