I had a successful Paint the Town, creating seventeen paintings. I am reasonably pleased with all of them, and only brought home two of them. I missed photographing two of them today, but here are the ones I did manage to capture. After painting boats on Saturday I went to the Historical Gardens and painted flowers (and one stump, but I forgot to photograph that one)

While not the torrential rain of last year, it did rain again this year, just enough to make painting difficult for all of us. This did not stop the eighty artists involved in Paint the Town from creating. There was a sailboat race in the morning and even though the rain forced me off the wharf I managed to find a dry spot with a good view of the boats.
