Waukesha Farmer's Market, River & Downtown

Parking was easy. We just parked on the North side of the river in a parking lot off Bank St where there was a Flea market. Then walked across the river on the multiple pedestrian bridges. Waukesha downtown is very compact and easy to get around in.

Sr. Lucinda, Artist & Critic to many area art groups, passed away

A member of our group just received word from Sr. Barabalie of Alfons Gallery that Sr. Lucinda Hubing passed away Wednesday. She critiqued for many art groups throughout the years, including ours, and also offered her home for us to continue with our art meetings when we did not have a place to meet.

The wake is at 4pm and mass at 6:30 on the 29th. I assume that it is at the mother house in their chapel at St. Joseph's Center just south of Greenfield on Layton Avenue next to Alfons Gallery.

Here's a link to an online obituarity for Sr. Lucinda Hubing.

Mukwonago River on I just off LO before Phantom Ranch

Partly cloudy today. Constantly changing light conditions. A lot of good reflections.

Evening Painting in Wauwatosa around 70th st & North Ave

Very fun to paint here. People very friendly. Free parking in city lot. Painted after the street lights came on.

3rd ward River walk

We met in Catalano square near Utrecht Art Supply 143 North Broadway, near MIAD. There was both meter parking around the square and 2 hour non metered parking on Erie st.
(Side note: The riverwalk is divided into 3 sections, The Beerline just north of downtown, the downtown section & the 3rd ward section.)

Then we walked over to the bridge and down some steps to get to the Riverwalk. It was very comfortable with benches and chairs to sit on. We got to see boats both parked and going down the river Plus both bridges on each end opened while we were there. There is 2 hour non-metered parking on Erie Street which was open because it was in between MIAD's school semesters. All in all a good morning.
