Invitation to paint with a visiting plein air group in October, 2016

Invitation to all Reno Tahoe Plein Air Painters:

Dear Reno Tahoe Painters,

Valle del Sur Art Guild (based in Morgan Hill) will have its annual PaintAway this year Oct 4-7 in Tahoe North Shore.  RenoTahoe Plein Air painters are welcome to join us for our informal paint fest.  Details are on our website at: http://www.valledelsur.org/paint-outs/paint-outs

We plan to paint Wed Oct 5 at Lake Forest Beach and Thurs Oct 6 at Sand Harbor. I think we will also have some painters from Los Gatos and Monterey groups attend, but the total number will probably not be more than 10.

If any of your members live in the Tahoe Vista and Kings Beach area and also want to join us for dinners, please have them send me email and I will keep them in the loop.

Thanks, Karen Garnett karen.garnett@gmail.com 408-691-2416

August 15, 2016 (Monday) Bliss State Park Paint-Out

August 15, 2016 (Monday) Bliss State Park Paint-Out

Date:          August 15, 2016 (Monday)
Time:          9:00 am
Place:          Bliss State Park, Lake Tahoe
Meet/Park/Paint:    Lester Beach Parking lot
Amenities:  Bathroom, beach, beautiful views, picnic areas, trails
Fee:          $10 entrance

Back by popular demand!  This time we will meet at Lester Beach Parking Lot.  It is a larger parking lot than Rubicon Point, and a little closer walk to the beach.

Map available by download:  go to this site:  http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=505 and then click on "Brochure" and then go to page 7 (the map) and print page 7 - it will download as a PDF.

Directions:  Please use Google Maps to decide which is the fastest from your location.  It could be going Mt. Rose Hwy and going north along the lake through Tahoe City and then down to Bliss, or it could be Hwy 50 to South Lake and going past Emerald Bay for others.  Still others may find I-80 to Truckee and going to Tahoe City via 89 and then on down to Bliss is the fastest route.

In Memorium - Lonnalee Virgo

One of our regular painters, Lonnalee Virgo is missed very much by many of us.  She loved painting, she loved the outdoors, always had a smile on her face, and her paintings got better and better.

I know if she could speak to us, she would probably say:  "Keep on painting!"

Miss you.....
