Friday break - VPAP paintout at Norwood Plantation

The last organized paintout for the members of Virginia Plein Air (VPAP) was held Friday at the Norwood Plantation just outside of Richmond Virginia.

"Norwood" is a historic property located on the James River.  It was built in 1780 as a "two over two over two" house by the Harris Family.  The current owner descends from Robert Beverly Randolph who purchased "Norwood" in 1830 and added the two wings and a new roof.  The current owner is Connie Harris.  Today, "Norwood" is a well-tended private home surrounded by meadows, fields and forest.  Horses are likely to be seen in the pastures beyond the historic barns and outbuildings.

The weather was perfectly sunny at a crisp 50 degrees. My nose was cold but I got these (2) lovey views before leaving.
