Hello to all my readers. Our plein air season officially ended on Sept. 4. There will be no more posts regarding plein air until we start up again next May.

Please visit the blog to keep up with all the busy winter season.                 TCAA - This and That     Follow the link to keep informed. TCAA This and That
