ON THE MOOR
On the 19th May, club members enjoyed some en plein air painting up on Mutter’s Moor. Coming well prepared with their kit they enjoyed a morning of creation in mild conditions, turning slightly windy in the afternoon. There was a group of around 20 club members who enjoyed the social aspect of the gathering along with getting to see everyone’s work! More images appear on the clubs cafe site.
