Saturdays - Nov. 22 and Nov. 29th, '08 - 8:30 a.m.
(We're meeting a little later during the Winter)
Capitol Building/War Memorial
Downtown Nashville
Notice the color from last Saturday. Hoping there will still be some, we're going to give it another try - two weeks in a row. (We realize people will be busy with Thanksgiving, but if you're looking for a spot to paint - just go down to the Capitol - who knows who will show up.)

Was a bit cold last week - but two of us showed - no painting though! 
I'm going to try to make it Sat., the 22nd (but probably not the 29th). Please forward any pictures you may take of painters.... to me ..... kking84700@aol.com
Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Painting!

Capitol Building/War Memorial
Downtown Nashville
Sorry to be so late, but been watching the weather - in hopes of better results. Looks like we need some shelter from rain and wind, so decided on downtown - the Capitol Building. (There is a show coming up and paintings are needed of the Capitol Building - deadline is February 25, 2009 and this might be your best opportunity. Will hang from March 6th to May 17, 2009. You can paint anything "Capitol" - the building, statues, doors, windows, columns, scenes on the Capitol grounds....) And, should we get some rain (or the wind too strong) we can move easily to our protected site of the War Memorial building.
Sure hope this is not going to be our last Sat. to paint before the Spring, but just in case, y'all come out now, ya hear!

We had a nice turnout last week at Cheekwood. And, boy, what color!!!

Cheekwood Botanical Garden
1200 Forrest Park Drive
(615) 356-8000
Fall is definitely here - but won't be for long! There was plenty of color this week at Cheekwood, so we want to take advantage while we can. The problem is getting in - first, we can't go in until they open at 9:30, which is OK, since it will be a little warmer. Second, we'd like as many Cheekwood members to join us, so they can bring in the non-members as guests (or at least get themselves in).
I'd like to have a count of members who are coming - so, please email me and let me know.... kking84700@aol.com
I think we'll be fine, but it would be nice if we could avoid an admission fee for everyone. (Some memberships can bring in guests and some of you may have passes, as well.)
We'll meet, just outside the gate, at 9:30 a.m.

(Shelbyville)
We've been wanting to go back to the Duck River and seems like a good time. The Dam has been recommended as a very easy access spot. It's in a city park, right below the square in downtown Shelbyville. You can drive right down to the river and has a great view of the dam and old dam house. (If any Chestnut Group member wanted to participate in the upcoming show, this is your last chance. The deadline is tomorrow, the 26th, but we've been given an extra day or two if you paint with PAN Sat.)
Here's a link to a picture of the dam:

Horseshows at Brownland Farm
1155 Hillsboro Rd. - Franklin, TN
1155 Hillsboro Rd. - Franklin, TN
Brownland Farm is a horse farm/horse show facility just North of Franklin on Hillsboro Rd. They are having shows the next two weekends so there will be lots of activity at the farm and lots of people and horses to paint (or practice painting). These are hunters and jumpers and the competition starts at 8:00 a.m. (The owners of the farm, Mack and Sissie Anderton, are very generous in allowing us to paint here, especially during a show, but ask that we follow a couple simple rules -see special instructions below.)Here's a link - http://www.brownlandfarm.com/ with directions and show schedules.
From Hillboro Rd., it's the last right before the bridge over the Harpeth (just N. of Franklin).
From I-65/Cools Springs, take Mack Hatcher to Hillsboro Rd., turn Right, cross the bridge over the Harpeth, then immediately turn left into Brownland Farm.
Special Instructions:
#1 - Parking - We are to park in this lot (if there is room)- which should be your first left turn after the main house. Turn left at this stone wall, then into this field.
#1 - Parking - We are to park in this lot (if there is room)- which should be your first left turn after the main house. Turn left at this stone wall, then into this field.
If the above field is full - turn right at this sign..."All Day Hauler Parking". (It's right across from the stone wall.)Then, drive straight back to this trailer (to stay away from the "haulers").
#2 - Don't spook the horses! Please do not set up your easels too close to the fences - say 5-6 feet. Just be careful in setting up your easels that you do not scare the horses - they will not know what you are doing.I'm very excited about painting here and hope a bunch of you join me. (Sissie is the sister of the Sclater Brown, the man I worked for - for many years.
The Farm is huge - call me if you want to know where we're painting !! 513-0511

Historic Edgefield
East Nashville is full of history and lovely old homes and churches. We can see it all, plus downtown from this spot - East Park - 700 Woodland St. (The Park actually runs from 6th to 8th and Woodland to Russell.) This will be a good place to meet (and paint), but we can check out the area from here and decide if we want to move a block or so.
Here's a church across the street and a nice "house for sale" on Russell.
Directions:
- Drive East on Woodland St. to South 6th St.
- Turn Right on 6th St.
- Turn Left into the parking lot (East Community Center has a nice lot)
(East Park - is a Metro Parks and Recreation facility)
Hope to see you in the morning - the heat is behind us - the rain is gone - supposed to be dry and beautiful with a few clouds - perfect for painting.

Stones River Greenway -
Percy Priest Lake at the Dam
Although it'll be hot, we should be able to find some shade here (and it'll be early). Besides, I haven't painted in three weeks and got to go! As an added attraction, there have been some hay bales on the slope adjacent to the entrance to the greenway. If they are still there - they make a great painting.
I'm not sure how far it is to this "hanging" walkway (think it's about midway between the Dam and Lebanon Rd.), but, if I can make it, that's where I'll be.
Directions:
Take I-40 East to Stewarts Ferry Pike
Right on Stewarts Ferry Pike
Left on Bell Road
Left again before you drive over the dam
Drive down hill and park
Start walking! (Can't miss the hay bales on your left, if they are still there.)

Plein Air Nashville has been invited, along with The Chestnut Group, to participate in the following event. Hope you can help make it a huge success.
Announcement of a Painting Opportunity -
Tuesday, August 19th - 3:30 to 5:00 p.m. - Centennial Park
"The Mad Hatter Ball is one of Nashville's premiere fundraising events, benefiting The Sexual Assault Center. It takes place on Saturday, September 13th at the Parthenon, with dining, dancing and a silent auction.
This year, something extraordinary is happening. On Tuesday, August 19th -- at the Parthenon -- there is a special event especially for the kids. It's the 1st Annual Mad Hatter Tee Party, where the kids will enjoy tours of the Parthenon, Olympian relay races, games, treats and a tee-shirt to paint.
We have been invited to come and paint too ... the Parthenon, the children or the park. The event will be from 3:30 – 5:00, but you are welcome to start painting earlier if you like. And then, if you would like to donate your painting to the Mad Hatter to be auctioned at the event on September 13th, there will be donor forms available. These events help fund the Sexual Assault Center, the only agency in Middle Tennessee specializing in the support and treatment of survivors of sexual assault. The Center helps more than 700 children and adults annually, and no one is ever turned away for lack of ability to pay."
Please email Jean Gauld-Jaeger (jrgjaeger@aol.com) or call her at 297-9458 to let her know if you plan to paint for this event.
They hope to have coverage that day as they did a couple weeks ago on Channel 4’s show “Better”. And, Purity will have a popsicle truck there passing out their new popsicle, Tea Pops.
Happy Painting!

Please email Jean Gauld-Jaeger (jrgjaeger@aol.com) or call her at 297-9458 to let her know if you plan to paint for this event.
They hope to have coverage that day as they did a couple weeks ago on Channel 4’s show “Better”. And, Purity will have a popsicle truck there passing out their new popsicle, Tea Pops.
Happy Painting!

So sorry to be so late - communications error! Brenda and I are both out of town and thought the other was going to post. Should be fantastic weather and we are so envious that we can't be there. Have a great time.
Happy Painting !!!

Sorry artists, suggest you stay home and paint in your studio. They say the RealFeel will be 107-108 ...... too hot for me. We'll keep you posted about the following weeks.
Painters of the Week - July 26, 2008
We had a good time last week, painting on the Pedestrian Bridge downtown. We even had some visitors.
Gary Young brought two out of town guests. Artists "Prince" and "Mary Ann" from Rhode Island stopped by to paint with us on the bridge. They were on their way out West to paint with David Leffel.
It was a little hot last week too!
