Bring sunscreen, a sunhat,  and bug repellent for this time of year.

HI All,   September will be an exciting time to paint outside so I hope you can join us.

From: Nancy Lewis

Notes: Free Plein air event. I got this info from Annie Barker-Honchell today about an upcoming Plein air event Annie and Fred Honchell are sponsoring  - a Plein air painting event on Sunday, September 25th at the Grand Mesa Lodge.  Annie said she is creating an event on FB. She asks for a Yes on Tada Your Art Space FB page for an RSVP.  Let her know if you are coming. The fun will start around 9:00 am for painters and photographers. Light refreshments will be available during the event. The painting/photography event will be finished around 1:30 pm. Followed by social time, critics and lunch will be available for purchase. If you want to stay around for the afternoon/evening light for more painting and photos you can stay around for more creating fun.

Nancy Lewis (that’s me) will be attending two Plein air events. Steamboat  Springs Plein air event  September 23-30th and then Colorado National Monument October 2nd - October 8th. Several of our painting group members will be attending this year's event at CNM. Come join us. If you are one of the painters let me know and I will let others know you are part of this amazing group of outdoor painters.

Many of you have been on my monthly email notification for years and have not yet had a chance to paint with this wonderfully supportive group.  If you would like to be removed from the mailing list, please let me know. If you would like to join us for simple things like sketching outside or perhaps learning how to start painting outside, please come and check it out. It will help you grow as an artist.

September 21 - 9:00 am 4502 Kannah Creek Road. Monica Esposito's home/ranch in Whitewater, a Plein air painter herself, has once again invited us to her ranch at 4502 Kannah Creek Road, Whitewater CO 81527. Wonderful place to paint with lots to capture including an expansive wooded area with a flowing creek, meadows, surrounding rock formations and local ranches, and old cottonwood trees which fall colors.
