Hello everyone!
We've decided to give plein air painting one last chance as a group before retreating to our individual studios for the cold and rainy season. Out past BZ Corner, toward Glenwood, Washington, is a roadside pullout offering lovely views of the aspens in the distance toward the Conboy Lake Wildlife Refuge. Getting there is going to be a matter of intuition mixed with luck on your part; there are no specific markers for the special spot, but Jan Muir is going to try to be there before the rest of us and offer her car/easel/self as a clue as to where to set up. Lousy weather will most likely keep most of us from venturing outdoors, however. Let's see what Mother Nature flings at us next Monday, October 5. Start time: as close to 9:00 as you can make it!
It has been a fun season! Thanks to all who participated! Hope to see you back again next spring!
Driving directions: After crossing the Hood River Bridge into Washington, turn left and follow Hwy. 14 west until you see State Route 141, which leads to Trout Lake. Turn right onto 141 and follow it to BZ Corner. Turn right onto the BZ-Glenwood Highway, and drive for a while toward Glenwood. Be watching for a road on your right called Lakeside Road (labeled as such on your maps app). Turn onto that road, and drive for a while until you see a distinct pullout on the left, where with any luck you will see Jan Muir flagging you down. ☺️
Wednesdays we go outside and paint! Painting sites change every week, sign up for notifications of the painting sites.
