IT'S STILL ON - NO CHANGE - 11:00 A.M. (OR WHENEVER)
RADNOR LAKE - FREEZE OUT CHALLENGE
PAINT THE SNOW AND ICE
I have heard for others a whole lot closer to Radnor than I, so you can count on company. If you don't see me - it's only because I couldn't get there. (I will be really disappointed if that happens.)
Hope to see you soon. Happy Painting.

Radnor Lake Challenge - January 31, 2010
Time Change to 11:00 a.m.
We have a few who have accepted the Challenge for tomorrow and hoping for a crowd. If you know you will be there - you might email me - curious to see how many brave souls are out there. I decided we'd start an hour later which should be a balmy 25 by then. The forecast looks great - sunny - temperature and "feels like" are predicted to be equal. What more could you ask for!
Don't think I need to tell you - dress appropriately!
Happy Painting!

Paint the Snow and Ice on Radnor Lake
The Challenge to the 2nd Annual ......!!!
A couple weeks ago Kevin Menck and Erin Jones painted in the 2nd Annual Radnor Lake Plein Air Freeze Out. They did this last year too, along with Dawn Whitelaw, and it was even colder. (Don't know if Dawn's schedule was too tight this year or she just wised up ??) I think this takes remarkable courage and stamina (a little nuts too) to paint in this kind of weather. But the lake is certainly beautiful and we don't get snow around here often and I feel a real challenge to try it myself. I challenge all the other plein air painters in the area to show up Sunday with me in support of our art. I promise, you will never forget it. (Even if you don't complete a painting, it will be worth seeing the lake with snow and ice.)
Please take a look at Kevin's blog - and the Freeze Out - Erin and Kevin painting at Radnor.

It's been snowing all day, and supposed to again tomorrow, but it will be breezy with no sun. Sunday the snowfall will be gone and we will have some sun all day and very little, if any, wind. The lake should be gorgeous with the sun bouncing off the ice. Come paint or take pictures.
(We'll have to cancel if the roads are icy.)
Happy Painting!

Paintout - Monday - January 18, 2010 - 1:30 pm ....
St. Mary's Catholic Church - Downtown Nashville
Charlotte Ave. and 330 Fifth Ave., North, near the State Capitol.
Thought we'd start off the year with a City-Scape. Tomorrow is a holiday (for most) - so downtown will be empty. If you haven't seen it before, the afternoon light downtown in the winter is spectacular on the buildings!!! And, we're having a HEAT WAVE - supposed to be mid-50's.
St. Mary's is an old favorite of mine, being the first Catholic Church (some say first church) in Nashville.

Greek Revival design topped with gold:
The oldest surviving church in Nashville, St. Mary's was used as a military hospital during the War Between the States. St. Mary's Church has traditionally been attributed to William Strickland, architect of the capitol and Downtown Presbyterian Church. Recent evidence from church records indicates that Nashvillian Adolphus Heiman was the architect. This restrained gem of Greek Revival design (1845-47) is the first permanent Roman Catholic church built in Tennessee, replacing a temporary structure nearby at the base of Capitol Hill, St. Mary's was the cathedral of Nashville from its construction until 1914 when the Cathedral of the incarnation was built.
