Please email Mary if you want to be added to monthly announcement of upcoming paintouts and be notified of late changes or cancellations on day of paint out via email (NOTE text groups are no longer used).

Hi painters - Here are the remainder of the paint outs for March and then for all of April.  

Please note one date is a Nocturn event.  I plan to schedule one on or near the full moon (which is not always up in the evening) in months that should have some warm weather.  So these will probably not be Tuesdays and will start 30-45 minutes before sunset to allow time to set up and sketch while it's still light.  Come prepared for cold and dark!  We'll see how the first one goes and adjust from there.  It's been a hit and miss winter but we'll keep trying!  I look forward to painting with you -

Mary
