This weekends activities:

Saturday, September 19th

Introduction into Plein Air Art (9:00 am - 11:00 am OR 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm)
Plein Art is the art of painting from life, like the impressionists, such as Monet, did in the late 1800's. Toni Treventon will talk about the art of painting from life, equipment needed and demonstrate how she paints by painting a small landscape sketch. Participants may want to bring lawn chairs, and umbrella's if needed.

  1. Great site Ms. Ehlendt! Question, is the Photoshop class at Circle B Bar Reserve?

  2. The Nature Center is PART OF Circle B. The land for Circle B has now transitioned to a marsh restoration project. So, they are one in the same. There is a NEW entrance to the Nature Center that is east of the old Circle B entrance. The entrance is on the south side of Winter Lake Road. You can see a State designated green hiking side on the side of the road for the center's entrance.
