Plein Air Tuesday - Schnebly Hill Rd Trail - 2/3/26 -- Day 2

 


While I was not there on what was another very pretty day in Sedona, there were a couple of great photographers in the group.  Namely, Nori and LeAnne.  So with thanks to these two great artists here is what they captured beyond their beautiful paintings.

Nori apparently was the one who ran around and took pics of everyone in their Spots!  She did a super job AND actually included faces.  Much unlike a lot of the photos I typically take, these can by used for identification purposes 😊.   What that does mean though, Nori is not in any of the photos, not even in LeAnne's group photo because Nori had to leave early.

Ok, here goes.

Apparently Anna decided to just use the picnic bench instead of the table and chair she usually has with her.

Hey, that's a really nice set up she had going on!

I see Janel decided to sit for a change, no table though.  She's using her tripod and the ground for her stuff.

Here's Pete and he might be close to the same spot he was in last week, I'm not positive though.

And, look who decided to join in on the fun instead of just wandering all around the state by himself.

David

Yup, it's David.  He sometimes actually comes to the paintouts but gets there before everyone and leaves early -- something about the sunrise and a glow on the rocks.   Keep trying to tell him, that's ok, you're an artist you can just pretend it was happening while you were there 😉

Here's another one who can't always make it, but his reason is always "work".  Sorry I missed you this day Ed.

Ed

Oh and next we have our Rock Sitter - always looks like she's just playing.   Guess that's one of the many ways she's managed to stay young.

Nita 1

You'd think her back would hurt - the girl is limber!

Next we have the missing Mike from last week.

Boy, we had a lot of sitters this week -- here's Lauren, also seated.

And, the next one's smile gives them away ...

Smiling LeAnne

Ok, to be fair though, on this day, Nori did catch all of them smiling.  There's one more person that shows up in the group photo whose Spot went unknown and to top it all off her face is pretty well hidden behind her sunglasses.  But, I'm pretty sure I've figured it out.

But, first for the Gallery so you can see everyone's work.  While the above photos were by Nori, all the following are by LeAnne.




And now for the artists who all smiled on 2.

Well, that's it for this week.  My thanks to the duo that took over making sure the rest of us could see what we missed 😊 - till next week!
