Day 2 found 8 artists seeking shade and pretty scenes. Happy to report that they found both. While I wasn’t there for this fun outing, LeAnne was kind enough to supply most of the photos and Betty provided one of Dona who apparently had to leave early.
Speaking of Betty, here she is with Nita apparently caught chatting instead of painting. I have to also make a guess that LeAnne just said something funny to make them laugh.
A few others that LeAnne captured in their spots

That's Denise looking like she's doing a "Oh no! Where's my hat???" That's ok Denise, look down, it's on top of your stuff.
And, we have the barefoot diva

And, here's Sophie, standing behind an alligator. -- Oh, never mind, it's a downed tree! She's safe!

I know there were more artists about because they showed up for the final photo, but Joe nor Calista saw them either.

Oh, ok, guess they weren't at the paint out. But, I have to tell you 2 things.
1. The yellow of Calista's eyes is absolutely incredible, pictures do not show what they really look like. They're totally mesmerizing and the most beautiful yellow I've ever seen. Wish the photo could show it.
and,
2. Turns out that Owls have the softest feathers of all birds (so said Joe), and I did get to pet her - she had her back to me and he tucked her head down. The feathers did feel as though what Joe said has to be true.
Here is Calista's story -- note: it's a safe link to click on, just remember to come back here to finish seeing what the artists were up to.
Ok -- hope you checked out the link. Now it's on to the Gallery.
