Painting Wyoming Park and Pond, July 30, 2014





Wednesday, July 30:  Wyoming Park, in Wyoming Delaware is an ideal spot for painting landscapes - huge pond, waterlilies, tree lines, grist mill complex on opposite shore, ducks, geese, lots of foliage, with great scenes from shaded locations. Wyoming Park is in at the end of W 3rd Street, Wyoming DE and contains picnic tables, pavilion and play ground for kids.

It was a beautiful day for painting and being outdoors. Our painters really had a great day.
