Next Location - Saturday - December 1, 2007 - 7:45 am
Hermitage - 1658 Stewarts Ferry Pike - My house/office/studio.
(Come whenever you can, stay as long as like.)

It's nothing fancy, just an old log house - several outbuildings - a mess of turkeys - cows next door - a wooded trail to the lake - you may paint from inside or out - from front porch or deck - whatever turns you on. I'll have a pot of coffee on.

Directions:
Take I-40 East to Old Hickory Blvd. (Exit 221B)
Go right on Old Hickory Blvd. to light (Bell Rd)
Go left on Bell to light (S. New Hope Rd)
Go right on S. New Hope to dead end (Stewarts Ferry Pike)
Go left on Stewarts Ferry to 4th drive on right - 1658 - triple mail box.

If you get lost, call 885-3141 (house) or 884-7710 (office/studio).

Help!
We are trying to find indoor locations for the winter months -
so we can continue our PAN Saturdays. So far, no luck.
Have tried hotels, libraries, and malls, but they don't want us.
The Factory may work sometime, but there were too many
Christmas events going on this weekend.

We'll welcome any suggestions. If you have a spot in mind,
please give them a call first to check it out. If they are agreeable,
please email me with their info, including phone number and webpage
- kking84700@aol.com

Hope to see you tomorrow.

Painting of the Day - November 3, 2007
Doug Jones, planning his painting at Hamilton Creek Sailboat Marina, Nashville.
With a misty "lake fog", it started out pretty "cool",
but as the fog gradually lifted the morning warmed up nicely.
Next Location - Saturday, November 10, 2007, 7:45 a.m.
Harlinsdale Farm - Franklin, TN
This is a great location, directly across Franklin Road from The Factory.
This farm was recently bought by the City of Franklin.
Please check out the details in the attached link and
be sure to scroll to the bottom and read the rules.

I was told that you can see several of the buildings from the parking area,
but if you walk straight ahead from there, through the pasture,
you can walk all the way to the river.
(Note: we'll be sharing the park with some Boy Scouts -
which could add some interest to your painting.)

Next Location - Saturday, November 3, 2007, 7:45 am
Hamilton Creek Sailboat Marina

Summer heat is gone, Fall weather is here, not cold yet, sailboats are beautiful ...... DUH, what could be better?? Come out Saturday - practice your boat painting. As stated previously ..... you can paint from the clubhouse deck, from the bank, or out on the docks (but not individual slips). Just keep in mind that we are guests of the marina (and boat owners) and need to respect their property and privacy.

Here is a link with pictures and directions.
