Best painting session ever! - Pleine air painting on a secluded beach. Even with breezy weather Joanne patiently weathered the storm with her students. So much fun and I for one cannot wait to return. Joanne was attentive and encouraging to a beginner artist. A must do when visiting beautiful Portland Maine.
