Saturday, July 30. 2011 the New England Plein Air Painters got together for their annual show, this year held at the South Shore Art Center's satellite show at the Shipyard Gallery in beautiful Hingham, Ma.
Sergio Roffo, Ted Charron, Stapleton Kearns and Robert Duffy are preparing to board our water taxi to take us to Grape and Bumpkin Islands where we will split up and paint our paintings for the Wet Paint Auction held later in the day.
