The All Weather Gang had its origins when Don Grideger and John Hodgins of Batavia, N.Y., used to meet at the Miss Batavia Diner each Saturday morning to drink coffee, indulge their passion for sticky cinnamon rolls, then head out for some place in Genesse or Wyoming counties to paint a landscape.
When they presented their first exhibition of landscape paintings, they humorously named themselves The Group of Two, hinting at the renowned Canadian artists known world-wide as “The Group of Seven.”
During the past 15 years, the group has been augmented by including Guy LeClair of Geneseo and Gil Jordan of Wyoming, and, more recently, Corfu resident Dave Huebsch and LeRoyan Don Cooney, all members of the Batavia Society of Artists.
