Hi everyone!

I had intended that we move indoors, however, since Mother Nature has a different idea this coming week about the weather, I am proposing two paint out opportunities to take advantage of warm temps, that beautiful fall light, and lingering fall colors.

So, come joint me in these locations this coming Tuesday and Thursday.  I will NOT be creating the usual schedule page I distribute, because I believe the week after next will look a lot more like winter. But this coming week temps will be in the mid to high 60's so let's get out and paint!!!

TUESDAY, NOV. 10th: Garden of the Gods - High Point

2-5 pm, Meet at the High Point parking area in Garden of the Gods park. The address is 647 Ridge Rd.  Access is through GOG park or Manitou Springs. Afternoon temps will be mid-high 60's and this afternoon time was chosen to capture afternoon & sunset views. 360 views, including of course Pikes Peak, rock formations, weathered pine trees and more.There are about 30 parking spaces. Restrooms are a quick drive away at Central Garden restrooms, GOG Trading Post, or the GOG Visitor's Center.

THURSDAY, NOV 12th: Santa Fe Regional Trail at Hwy 105 in Monument. 

11am-2pm, Meet at the pulloff not far west of the Safeway (just before the overhead railroad bridge if coming from the south). The views of the mountains from the trail are beautiful.  A short walk from the parking lot will reveal deer (I always see them here) and fall scenery, views of Mt Herman and more. Alternatively, take the underpass to walk a little to get to the downtown area of Monument where there are structures in addition to the mountain views.  Be aware there are also cyclists on this trail so avoid setting up directly on the trail.  This midday time frame has been selected to allow things to warm up to the 60s since nighttime temps are getting close to the 30ths.

Together, we can stretch paint-out season just a little longer!!  ,

Please share any feedback you'd like about painting outdoors during cooler months. Thanks!
