Painting at Pheasant Branch (Prairie Parcel) 8am on Tuesday October 11th

Our next plein air outing will be on Tuesday (October 11) in the morning (about 8 am start) at the Pheasant Branch Conservancy. I know we painted there earlier in the summer but that was in the evening and not many painters showed up. So let’s try the morning this time. Afterwards, I’m hoping I can get a few people together to go to lunch at the Craftsman Tap that’s nearby off of M (Century Ave.). The Pheasant Branch park area we’ll paint at is right off Pheasant Branch Road, north of Middleton. There are two parking areas along the road. Go to the northern one (surrounded by fields) not the southern one (see map). There are some areas to set up right by the parking lot or we can walk in a ways near the base of Fredericks Hill, where there are some good painting options. There are no restrooms. There are really nice views from atop Fredericks hill but the path going up there is winding and longer than you'd think it would be. Hope to see you there - Tom Gilbert
