DCPAP Outing on May 31, Marshall Park

This coming May 31, on Tuesday morning (8 am start) we’ll be painting at Marshall park in Middleton.  It’s right off of Allen Blvd. (see map).  We haven’t painted here a lot, and it’s somewhat small and limited in options, but I’m trying not to repeat the painting locations so much this year.  It has a shore on Lake Mendota and in the morning the sun comes right across the lake, so the sailboats (that are always moored there) are strongly backlit.  There is a restroom.

DCPAP Outing on May 19, UW Arboretum

Let’s paint again this coming Thursday morning (May 19) at the UW Arboretum.  I’ll say 8 am start but, I, myself, may be late. Others might want to avoid early belt line traffic, but, whenever, it should be a nice spring morning. We’ll park at the main parking lot by the Park Building.  I know most people like the gardens area but I may also check out the prairie views from near the parking lot.

I also apologize if anyone missed our last outing due to the mistaken painting date on our blog.  My email and the Facebook site had the right date but we the blog date was wrong  and not corrected until the day we painted.

First Painting Date for 2022: May 12 at Viking County Park - Stoughton

 Tom scheduled out first painting date for this year for May 12  at Viking County Park near Stoughton.

 The park is located just a bit north of Stoughton and the entrance and parking lot are right adjacent to CTH “N”.  You want the segment of hwy. N that is north of the N intersection with 51, and south of the intersection of N and B.  Note that there’s a second parking lot on the north end of the park, off hwy. B, but don’t go there.  

 We will paint from 8 AM until around noon. There are restroom facilities at the park. There is a dog park there but in a separate fenced off area. Hope for better weather than recently and to see lots of painters there.!

Note - This post previously referred to a 5/21 date but the 5/12 date is correct - TG
