The Laurel Art Guild has monthly live art sessions. All interested artists gather at various locations throughout the region to draw, paint, and photograph local landscapes or still-life setups when inside. Examples of our artwork from these ventures are featured below. In June we went to a scenic area of Brookeville, Maryland. July’s event took place at the Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens. The August event was at Brookside Gardens, and September’s event took place on the grounds of the Montpelier Arts Center.
In October, we plan to go to Quiet Waters Park in Annapolis.
