New PAF Member- Welcome

Please welcome Regina Briskey from Alachua FL as a new PAF member. They are assigned to Hogtown Plein Air Painters. Here is their info:



I have been a professional painter and sculptor most of my life, and painting outdoors is something I did of necessity when doing commissions of livestock. I use oils, mostly. My studio work can be viewed at dabbertgallery.com; and my website is under construction. I participated in the AAONF Paintout Reunion last Feb, and enjoyed it SO MUCH. The weather was invigorating. I enjoyed meeting so many great people and am looking forward to becomming part of a group here.
