Don't worry about the weather tomorrow .... unlike Nashville ....
Wartrace only has a 30% chance of Isolated T-storms.
That means - 70% chance of NONE .....
Besides, we can paint from the verandah or Rosalind's garage, which opens on two sides and has great views.
See you in Wartrace.
Call if you need ..

On the outskirts of Wartrace, this house is known in the area as "The
Castle", as it resembles one sitting atop a rise of a 200+ acre farm. It is
owned by John and Rosalind Roche, who just returned from a trip to
Japan. Rosalind is also an artist and will be painting with us on Tuesday.
She's looking forward to our coming, so please put it on your calendar and join
us for a day in the country!

The house was built about 1900, by Henry A. Clark and wife Lizzy Cunningham
who's beautiful headstones can be seen in Hollywood Cemetery in Wartrace. It is
on the National Register of Historic Places under the name The Henry A Clark
Home. This is an artist's dream - to have so much in one spot to paint - The
house, gazebo, barn/grain bin and machinery shed, groom's cottage and small old
barn. It is on Hwy. 64 approached by a mown lane from bottom to top of garden,
tall bamboo stand along the farm road, large pond below the cottage, and
beautiful vistas from the garden.
Picnic lunches can be eaten in the gazebo, on the verandah or anywhere
else. Rest rooms and water/ice in the house, provided by Rosalind. If you'd
rather lunch in the tiny town of Wartrace, it's less than 2 miles down the
road.
We appreciate so much this great opportunity to paint here - the house
is gorgeous and the grounds breathtaking. Come join us - even you new guys!
Very easy to find - about 45 miles South of the Hickory Hollow area of
Nashville
Directions:
Take I-24 South to Exit 97Take Exit 97 for TN-64 (Beech Grove Rd toward Shelbyville / Wartrace / Bell Buckle)
Turn Right on TN-64 W
Follow TN-64 W to 4615 (it's on the right)
Wartrace is another 1.8 miles on this same road. (So, if
you get to Wartrace, come back 1.8 mles)

Paint Your Heart Out Workshops
Offered by The Chestnut Group
Another class available ...
For just $35, you can study with two members of Cumberland Society of Painters! Paula Frizbe and Pam Padgett will host "What's Up With This Painting?" on Monday, April 16. Sometimes we get to a point in our painting and we just need a fresh eye to help tweak it back into shape. This evaluation class is meant to help you do just that. Don’t be afraid! We’ve all been there! You will also learn from watching what others struggle with. For more details, please visit http://chestnutgroup.org/ classes/ paint-your-heart-out-worksh ops/#more-4997

Let's Paint Saturday - April 7th, 2012!
Morning - Early as you like (me, 9ish) !!
Centennial Park - Nashville
It has been tooooo long since we've gotten together! This park is where we began and where we try to paint at least once a year. We usually paint around the lake or sunken garden, which should be in full bloom. I have no idea of any events there tomorrow, but we should be early enough to find a spot not too crowded.
Come on out, squeeze a little paint and painting into your Easter weekend!
Happy Easter and Happy Painting
