Field Trip to Phillippi Estates and Farmer's Market

October 15, 2025

Four of our members enjoyed a tour of the mansion and the farm house, strolled the grounds, visited the farmer's market and enjoyed a brown bag lunch in the gazebo. We had a delightful time and after trading painting and pigment tips, we all went home inspired.

2nd Annual Lunch Meet n' Greet at Florida Watercolor Society's Annual Convention

We had a great turnout of Suncoast members at the FWS Convention! It was so fun to see everyone there... even if we didn't quite manage to all get together in one place at one time. We're looking forward to our 3rd Annual lunch gathering at the 2026 FWS Convention, which will be close to home in Bradenton.
