Susan Rump, of Thetford, Vt., works on her scenic painting in Strafford, Vt., on Thursday, Oct. 19, 2023, after the Little Village Art Group had finished their session. Rump is the group's coordinator, which does plein air painting in the area. Three other painters had been with Rump as well as four on Zoom. Rump said the group's start "came out of the love of plein air painting." (Valley News - Jennifer Hauck) Copyright Valley News. May not be reprinted or used online without permission.
