Weathered – 2010 Grand Junction Paint Out

Posted in News & Events on July 3rd, 2010 by rmpap3
An unseasonably cool and stormy spring greeted participants at theĀ Grand Junction Paint Out. But despite the cold, wind, and occasional rain, spirits remained high, with lots of great camaraderie and a huge variety of subjects to choose from. Participants were Carol Swinney, Carol Jenkins, Patti Andre, Stephen Datz, Jeanne Mackenzie, Mark Rittorno, Ruth Rawhouser, Barbara Deardorff, Rich Galusha, Shirley Stocks, Doug Martin, and Pem Dunn. Joining the group were local painters David & Maggie Cook, Bob Harper, Phil Wright from Steamboat Springs, and Shaun Horne from Crested Butte.

Like the sandstone cliffs and pinnacles of Colorado National Monument, the RMPAP group got a bit weathered, but finished the week standing tall!
