Members of EBDRPAP meet every Tuesday at different sites throughout the area to paint and then share their work during the late spring through early fall. During the winter months the painters meet by Zoom. This season’s show focuses on painting done at two Delaware County farms. For three weeks in June, the group met at Moseman’s Farm on Street Hill Road in Fleischmanns and in July they met for three successive weeks at Mighty Fine Farm on Little Red Kill Road also in Fleischmanns. The paintings, a celebration of Catskill farms, capture the beauty of the surrounding mountains, grazing fields, farmhouses and barns typical of Delaware County farms.
