A group of neighbors and friends of neighbors gathered today to discover the plant and animal life of Pomerleau Park. Austin Parks and Rec opened this undeveloped park for us to explore and paint, and Ann Armstrong of Austin’s Atlas led us through a brief beginner’s watercolor workshop and Jesse Neumann of Urban Forestry provided assistance in identifying trees.
We’ll have a gallery display of some of the finished watercolors at our next WPNA meeting, October 14.
