I am the only house on the cal-de sac so am easy to find. I have plenty of parking and you are welcome to leave your cars here for the day, but the hill is a bit of a climb back if you want to wander down to the center village for painting. There is a distant view of Rice Lake to take in. Oct. 29th Lang take-down
Our painters enjoy the outdoors, be it talking to the animals or crouching in a garden. If you are a member ( you do not have to be, to try out the Outdoor Painters Group) you will enjoy the fellowship and sharing it provides. All this for very little $2.00 each time (only when you use the gallery) it is free to all, when we are location. So why not!
