So this was Day 2 - I missed Day 1, but glad I was there for this day -- beautiful morning!!! Started out thinking I should have worn long jeans and had a heavy sweatshirt with me. It didn't even stay on for the walk down the hill.
Nori was unpacking her car as I got out, so I called over to her because I had the article from the newspaper about her being El Valle's Artist of the Month for October:
Walked and talked on down to the end of the road and found David set up and painting

| Nori, David |
Saw a couple of people I didn't know that looked like they were painting too, turns out it was a new girl and also a new guy.

| "New Girl" Ashley |

| "New Guy" Pete |

| Smiling LeAnne |
Smiling LeAnne came along, and apparently Gail was there somewhere off into the woods - never did see her as she was too involved in her painting to show up at the end.
Others that were there that I didn't get any photos of until the end were Betty (she was there when I got there and already moving along on her piece), Sophie who apparently wandered her way into the woods. Kris (with a "K") is back for the winter and Nita 1 who came in (late - gee, I forgot to get a timestamp, but I'm going to guess and say it was close to 10:00 and yet she managed to do 2 paintings - and big ones too!)
Oh, just realized, this was Betty's spot.

Well, the group was right on top of things, painting quickly and assembling at our usual spot when at this location. So a Gallery was built pretty quickly with all paintings showing off to the best of their ability considering the irregularities of the platform. The paintings did all looked great!
Apparently Sophie really went to the effort of color matching to the red rocks -- I should've put hers next to the green by David's painting. Well, here are close ups so you can all have a better look at our end results.
