Saturday - March 27 - 9:00 ish a.m.
Schermerhorn Symphony Center - Nashville
(Between 3rd Ave. South & 4th Ave. South
and McGavock St. and Demonbreun St.)
We're staying close to town tomorrow and thought the fountain in front of the Symphony Hall would be nice. At least three of the four corners of the building have sculptures or statutes which would be fun to paint.
There are also several new buildings in the area. It should be a beautiful Spring day.
Don't know about parking - I think the Sat. meters are no longer free. But, on Sat. morning you should have your pick.
Sunday - March 28 - Midday - (?)
Columbia, TN
Depending on weather - painting in Columbia - probably at the Columbia Academy, 1101 W. 7th Street -
or maybe one of the lovely churches (since it's Palm Sunday).
Happy Painting!

Painting Saturday - March 20, 2009 - All day !!!
Columbia, TN
We're going back to Columbia - as there is so much to paint there - The Chestnut Group will be having their show end of April - and the weather will be gorgeous. And, one more reason (for me) - I finally have decent plein air equipment. Received my first Open Box M - picking up my tripod today and will be ready to try her out tomorrow. (No need to be embarrassed to paint with me anymore.)
I'm not going to list any particular place, just copying directions and some of the public places recommended by Annie Daniel and Kay Farrar, heads of TCG upcoming show.
Come South on I 65, take the Saturn Parkway Exit to Hwy 31(Columbia/Spring Hill Exit).
Stay on 31 all the way to Columbia and the intersection of Main Street on the left and 7th Street on your right. If you turn left you will hit the square and the courthouse and to your right you will have the Polk Home ,Churches , parks and Columbia Academy,etc. There are interesting buildings on 6th street as well as 8th street. Some of the iconic and historic properties that have been suggested are:
To your right - 7th Street
James K. Polk Home. -305 W 7th st. The gardens will be open to you
810 S. High St- Polk Presidential Hall
Bell tower as well as the little park both across from the Polk Home
St. Peters Episcopal Church, next to the Polk Home-313 W. 7th
First Presbyterian Church -on the corner of W7th and High St (Dome)
Memorial Bldg. -across from Grace St Lukes Church
Lucius FriersonHouse -next to the Memorial Bldg.
Park on right up the hill across from the post office
The Anthenaeum- Anthenaeum St and 8th st.
Columbia Academy W. 7th street (not walking distance from town)
To your left - Main Street
Maury County Courthouse
Columbia Public Square:
11 Public Sq. The Wheel shop
17 Public Sq. Demondson
21 Public Sq. Morgan Stanley
Fountains at 26 Public Sq
36 Public Sq. Suare Market- (good lunch)
37-38 Public Sq Webster Bldg
40 public Sq Killion's Coffee
117 W 7th and Wiskey Alley
Ted's sporting Goods =806 S. Main St. and the cute building across from Teds.
To the left of 31 on 6th street is the river bridge (Duck R.) over to Riverside Park and the river walk. There's also a cemetery on your left as you enter Columbia.
All of these sights will have general interest to the potential visitors to TCG show. And, as these are all public places, any PAN artist is welcome to paint as well.
Happy Painting!!

Three Announcements:
1) Open Studio - Next two Wednesday Nights 5-9 (March 17th and 24th)
Directions on website. http://www.saundersfineart.com/
2) Announcement - 2010 Call For Artists!
Art & Invention Gallery invites you to apply to their upcoming show, “Bells Bend: A Sense of Place”. This show is open to all artists who have created work connected to Bell’s Bend- its landscapes, people, history and future.
Bells Bend is a place where the past—at least ten thousand years of human history—is still visible and the present is very much alive. Some Nashvillians see it as a garden district, others as ancient dirt filled with ten thousand years of history. Some come with their binoculars, while others arrive with jogging shoes or bicycles. At least one plays the fiddle at the local market.
Some view it as pure landscape—barns and rolling fields, while others have more urban visions.
The Vision of “Bell’s Bend: A Sense of Place”, is to let each artist express their ideas and point of view about this wonderful place. What is your take?
Exhibit runs from April 24, 2010 – June 6, 2010, with an Opening Reception on Saturday, April 24 from 6:00pm- 9:00pm
ELIGIBILITY:
*Open to all artists and all mediums

Historic Columbia
Columbia is a beautiful little Southern town - with Court House on the town square. The Chestnut Group will be having a show at the end of April and they will be in the area painting until then. (I've already heard that a bunch of them will be there tomorrow.) They were sent a long list of suggested places to paint, but I'm suggesting that you go to the Court House to start, corner of Main St. & 7th. Everything is within a few blocks, so feel free to paint anywhere you choose.
And, a view down Main Street -

You'll find several cafes around for your morning fix or a lunch snack.
Hope to see you in Columbia.
