Paint in East Nashville - Saturday
Saturday, November 10, 2012, 9:00 am - whenever!
East Nashville - Between 11th & 12th and Russell & Holly
(Warm up first at Bongo Java - 107 11th)
We've painted in East Nashville several times and it is always both challenging and delightfully fun. The homes are grand and the churches are beautiful. There are so many to pick from, we'll probably branch out in all directions. This is a good starting point; from here you can walk or drive around to find your spot. (Be smart though - either go in twos, keep another painter in sight or make sure you are in a very public place.)
Left, is Tulip St., United Methodist Church,
(There were several shots of this in the
last episode of "Nashville")
Will be a gorgeous day. Come join us on the East side ...
Happy Painting!

Old Hickory Village
Saturday, August 11, 2012 - 8:30-9:00 ish - ???
We've had a brutal Summer, but there's relief in sight for tomorrow, with a high of 85 and no rain!!!
We've had a brutal Summer, but there's relief in sight for tomorrow, with a high of 85 and no rain!!!
We're going back to our "find of the year" - Old Hickory Village - the "place from the past" where the houses are cottages and the people are friendly. This is just off Old Hickory Blvd., North of The Hermitage and South of the Cumberland River. Besides the charming houses, there is a Black Jack Cove amd the marina restaurant, the Black Pearl, on Riverside Drive.
Suggestion:
Google "Old Hickory, TN" just to see the Village. It's only a few blocks long, bordored on the NE by Riverside Dr., on which are some lovely old homes. Riverside Dr. follows Old Hickory Lake.
Directions: From I-40 East
Travel I-40 East past the airport ... Take the Hermitage Exit #221A (toward The Hermitage)
Stay on Old Hickory Blvd. past The Hermitage and through the little town of Lakewood.
Old Hickory is just past Lakewood
Veer to the Right at Hadley Ave. (across OHB from the Old Hickory Country Club)
The whole area is worth painting, but you might narrow it to between ...
Hadley and Riverside Dr. and 14th and 18th.
Please remember this is a quiet neighborhood and we are visitors ... if you see a property owner, it's a good idea to get permission to photograph or paint their home.
Happy Painting!

at the Black Pearl, Black Jack Cove, marina restaurant on Riverside Dr.
We're going back to OH Village! I was right, this "place from the past" turned out to be a super place to paint. The residents of this tiny neighborhood were so warm and friendly and even excited to have us there painting. (And to think, I wasn't sure if we'd be welcome.)
I even sold the painting I did last week ... "Before the Wedding"!
I suggest you google "Old Hickory, TN" and look for the Village. You'll see it's just a few blocks long, bordored on the NE by Riverside Dr., on which are some lovely old homes. Riverside Dr. follows Old Hickory Lake. Again, I'll be somewhere in the area.
Directions - From I-40 East
Travel I-40 East past the airport ...
Take the Hermitage Exit #221A (like you are going to The Hermitage) but stay on Old Hickory Blvd. Continue past the Hermitage and through the little town of Lakewood, which is now part of Metro.
Shortly after you pass Lakewood, you'll find Old Hickory ...

This paintout was planned by The Chestnut Group, in preparation for a show in May. The owner of the property, Rosalind Roche, has graciously extended the invitation to all plein air painters.
Join us if you can. (This is RAIN or SHINE - plenty of cover.)
(Duck River Watershed area)
4615 Hwy 64, Wartrace, TN 37183
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!
Take 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)
Don't worry if you decide at the last minute - just come!!!)

PAINT A
CASTLE! Wartrace, TN - Tuesday, May 1st - 9:00am -
4:00pm
Paintout for the Nature Conservancy, Duck River Show
- All Day - this coming Tuesday!! (Duck River Watershed area)
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)
Please email me if you think you might come .... kking84700@aol.com
(You don't need to tell me, it'd just be nice to have an idea of the
number. Don't worry if you decide at the last minute - just come!!!)

Paint with the Chestnut Group in Leipers Fork
(They are painting on a Land Trust for Tennessee protected property owned by Aubrey Preston)
You can paint in the town of Leipers Fork or paint on the Preston Farm.
Directions to the Farm: (Coming into Leipers Fork from Franklin on Old Hillsboro Road)
Behind this barn is a fence and another barn with creek (little water now).
You can paint there too, but you'll have to climb the fence to get to it.

Directions to the Farm: (Coming into Leipers Fork from Franklin on Old Hillsboro Road)
Just past Southall Road and before you get to the town of Leipers Fork, look for a Black Fence on the Right. There is a Big Hill with a Christmas Tree on Top and there is an Opening in the Fence. Drive through the opening and follow the "Farm Road" (tracks) all the way back (believe it's to the left of the big hill).
If you come to a gate - apply this rule ......
Farm Rule #1: If you open a gate, close it behind you!At the back of this farm you'll find a big barn where you can park -
you might also find some horses - donkeys - and I hear there is a brand new baby donkey!! Behind this barn is a fence and another barn with creek (little water now).
You can paint there too, but you'll have to climb the fence to get to it.
There are plenty of places in town for lunch.
Happy Painting!
