It's official--come and see the show at the Southbury Public Library and join us for an open meeting on Sunday, 9/15 from 2-4 p.m. to learn about plein air painting by the artists.

POP and Southbury Land Trust Hike and Paint

Gladys Taber, Nelson and Polly Camp were with us in spirit on this chilly April day celebrating the beauty of CT open space at Stillmeadow Farm in Southbury CT.  The SLT arranged the hike and a bench dedication to longtime supporters Nelson and Polly, no longer with us.  Hikers walked the proposed Stillmeadow conservation property with Joe Ruggiero and other members of the SLT board, while POP painters set up near the Taber homeplace and spent a peaceful afternoon painting.  POP artists attending:  Diane Debreuil, Karen Cashman, Zufar Bikbov, Jill Nichols, Ellie Boyd, Tina Skor, and Dorothy Calio.  Visiting:  Jose Luis Nunez.  Here are a few photos from the event:
