As members of the Lake Country Pastel Society we painted at the Gibbs Farm Museum in August as a part of a class we were in. The farm is very interesting, with it's prairie, old buildings, and animals, giving us an abundance of subject matter. The museum director asked us to return to paint during their Apple Festival, and to exhibit finished paintings from class. We were thrilled to accept their offer! The weekend turned out to have perfect fall weather, and there was a big turn out. We painted, learned more about apples, informed people about the art of pastel painting, and were pleased to have some happy customers purchase paintings from the exhibit.
