Wednesday Group Keeps All in Practice

If you happened to stop by the Kirkwood Farmers’ Market on a Wednesday morning in early June, you might have seen, among the flowering plants and the colorful displays of fruits and vegetables, a scattering of artists hard at work endeavoring to capture the lush bounty of early summer in oil, watercolor, pastel or graphite. The Wednesday Group, an offshoot of the Missouri Plein Air Painters Association (MOPAPA), is out and about town again this season. The group gathers at a designated location every Wednesday morning, summer, and winter, to paint or draw, and to enjoy the camaraderie of fellow artists.
