February Paint Out was a BLAST...
The only thing that we had to deal with was the WIND!... Gusting at times at 40 MPH. At one point... A page from Pat's sketch book went flying into the waterway... Bernie's painting blew of his easel and hit Karen in the head... Dean had at least 5 bugs imbedded in his painting... Donna's palette blew and stuck to her painting... Kathi had to move inside because the pastel chalk was blowing off her painting as fast as she could put it on... and... saving the best for last... Stephen did a backwards flip as his chair legs sank in the mud!
After painting, many of us went for dinner at The Red Barn. We had a great supper and discussed our paintings, sharing some great insights and techniques.

Awesome site for Feb. 10th, 2008 "Paint Out" at Faulkner Estate.
WHEN: Sunday, February 10, 2008 at 1:00 PM
WHERE: Faulkner Estate, Queens Creek Community (see map and directions below)
WHY: Because we love to gather and plein air paint!
WHAT ELSE: Dutch treat dinner at the Red Barn afterward where we fellowship and discuss the works (optional).
Mitchell has lined up an awesome site for our Feb 10th "Paint Out"... The Faulkner Estate in the Queens Creek Community. The estate is set along the Intra-coastal Waterway and offers many varied painting opportunities like... marsh scenes, boats, docks, palm trees, the estate, etc. To top that... we have access to this boat house to paint from if the weather is harsh. WOW!
I edited Donna's map from last month since the "Paint Out" is in the same vicinity of last month's outing.... only difference... follow the RED arrows. The estate is very near the Red Barn where we ate last month (and plan to eat again this month). You turn to the left just before you reach the Red Barn (look for our OOPS sign) and the estate is about 300 yards on the right. I have included a photo of the entrance at the bottom so you'll know you have found the right spot.
Click map to enlarge...
Entrance to the Faulkner Estate where we will paint on February 10th. This entrance is between two estates with white fences (on the right).... very easy to pick out!
