First Paint Out of the Southeast TN Plein Air Painters

Tuesday, May 18th, and a small gathering of artists met for the first time at Fletcher Park in Cleveland, TN to paint outdoors as the Southeast Tennessee Plein Air Painters group.
It was a pleasant, overcast morning, and we settled on a spot near Candies Creek to do our painting. I've spotted an otter frolicking in this spot, but it was a no show this morning. Maybe too much activity or not a fan of the arts.
We spent about 2 hours at our work, then briefly conferred about our morning's painting efforts, the next paint out, and then made our ways back home. A great morning, by all accounts.

Suzanne, Mary, and myself. Thanks for the photo, Becky.

Have there been more -paint outs” in the Cleveland area since this one in May? Also I enjoyed reading about your trips out West. Tennessee scenery can be a little bland after Idaho, Colorado, etc. I find myself inserting snow capped peaks into my paintings of Harrison Bay sometimes just to break the monotony.

Hi, Karen. I apologize for such a late reply to your comment and question. First, thank you for visiting my website. To your question, the group meets weekly on Friday mornings all around the Cleveland area. The best way to keep up with what is going on is to follow or join the group on Facebook. It's a free group, no dues. Just a way for local painters to meet up and paint together. https://www.facebook.com/groups/462871931590241
