Remember last year's paint-out? |
Happy New Year everyone! Sorry for the lapse in paint-outs. Between inclement weather, the holidays and being sick.... it just didn't happen....
This was taken a couple of years ago.... |
Date: January 6, 2015 (This is a Tuesday this time!)
Time: 10:00 am
Place: Washoe Lake Wetlands - at the very south end of Washoe Lake
Parking: Free and plenty of parking
Forecast: We will be having warmer weather - in the 30's to 40's! Lots better than what we've been having. Still, bring layers and gloves if you have sensitive hands!
What to bring:
- painting gear
- artist umbrella
- camera
- winter layers, warm hat or ear covers, gloves
- waterproof boots in case snow or ice still on ground
- sunglasses for glare if it is sunny
- shade hat
- cell phone
- drink and food
- carts work OK if no snow on the trail or boardwalk
What you will see to paint:
- snow capped Slide Mountain and surrounding mountains
- reeds and marsh grasses
- maybe some patchy snow
- view of Washoe Lake and surrounding desert mountains
- sometimes cloud formations
Directions:
From Reno, take I-580 South toward Carson City
Exit 44/Eastlake Boulevard
Left on Eastlake Boulevard
Go about 1.4 miles
As you go around a bend, a parking lot will appear on the left - turn left (it is easy to pass it up by mistake)
