Paint out at the Range, Tokai

It's as pretty as a picture and a great venue. Thank you John, or was it Clive, for introducing us to this little church. Behind it, there is the Range with a small place to eat. Around the church, and by the Cape Dutch homestead, there are magnificent old eucalyptus and other imposing trees.



And while the dozen or so artists turned up on time and had a good morning sketching, one of the best aspects of Tuesday's paint out was that we left the hurricane strength (ok, a bit of an exaggeration) wind back on the coast and enjoyed just mild zephyrs and cool shade here in Tokai. Does it get better?

Hard at it, John and Angela hardly paid heed to the barking dog intend on sending off a rather large male baboon that was not welcome with our group. He left, and we continued peacefully.


We were particularly taken by the blue of the sky and the very verdant foliage: a surprise as most ofthe peninsula is crying out for rain and water.





We were all absorbed and hardly noticed Rob, artist and photographer, wending his way around the area and capturing the concentration.



Let's do it again and hope the weather is as favourable.
