Next Location: Cheekwood again !!!
1200 Forrest Park Drive - Nashville, TN 37205 - (615) 356-8000
Saturday - September 29, 2007 - 9:30 am - at the gate !

We had a great turnout last week - twice as many Cheekwood members as guests, so everyone got in. There is so much to paint at this location that we wanted to do it again, however, we're not meeting until 9:30. This is the time they open to the public (and the earliest they want us to start). We will go back to our regular 7:45 ish for other locations.

Same procedure - meet at the gate at 9:30. If you have a Family Membership, you can have three guests. If you have an Individual Membership, you can get yourself in. If you are late, tell Eleanor at the gate that you are meeting the Plein Air Nashville painting party. We will be parking in Area B.

If you want to be a "guest" of a member, please email me by tonight or call my cell.

Happy Painting.

Saturday, September 22, 2007 - 8:15 am - Cheekwood

Although Cheekwood does not open until 9:30, our start time is 8:15, the earliest time they would let us enter the grounds. Please be there at that time, at the entrance, so we can coordinate the members and guests.

We would like to have a count, so please email me if you will be joining us ..... kking84700@aol.com

My cell number is 513-0511.
Thanks, Bitsy

Interesting work, thought this group might enjoy it. There's a link to his website here in our list of sites to visit. Elio is considering doing a workshop here in Nashville. If you have interest, you can sign up on his website for more information. His unique use of color and the way he brings chroma to canvas is amazing. Leiper's Creek Gallery has a few of his pieces if you get out that way.

Saturday - September 22, 2007 - 8:15 am - outside the gate !



On this beautiful 55-acre property there is so much to paint ........ a mansion, gatehouse, gardens, ponds, fountains, statuary and spectacular views over rolling hills.



Although there is a non-member admission fee of $10 ($8 for seniors), we have a few coming with Family Membership, which entitlese them to three guests each. We'll do our best to get you in, but it's worth every penny if we can't. (Of course, we're asking anyone with an Individual Membership or a free pass, to use their own.)



If you plan to come Saturday and are a member of Cheekwood, please email me - kking84700@aol.com - we'd love to take advantage of your three guests.



If you are late, ask the lady at the gate if there are any "guest passes" left for the PleinAir Nashville painting party.

Happy Painting.

Due to other events going on this weekend, we're not going to meet tomorrow, the 15th.

However, please put next Saturday, September 22nd on your calendar. We'll be going to Cheekwood. Watch for another post - with more information.

Happy painting.
