Paint out scheduled for MVIS Tues. / 11:00am

Jeff Sparks posted this on Facebook today.  So if you want some painting 'partners', you may want to head in this direction to 135th and Quivera. Between Greg Summers and myself, two of the four founders of the MVIS, we are out and about the Kansas City region painting at least 2-4 times a week. Please contact us at any time you would like to start painting outdoors. If you are relatively new to plein air painting and are considering it more seriously, I am always happy to talk about what I'm doing while I paint, if you want to see it in progress or ask questions. To get the ball rolling, I'll be out painting this Tuesday at the fields and property of Colonial Presbyterian Church, just west of 135th and Quivera. The beautiful new church is open so facilities and get warm time are all available. Lots of wooded acres to paint, too. I'll paint in any weather condition but pouring rain and severe wind. Let me know, the invitation is open!! :-)

Location for next week and a few great photos of the area.

If coming from the south, cross the Lewis & Clark viaduct, Get in Right lane and take Fairfax Trfwy exit , That is first one you come to.  As soon as you are on the Trfwy there is a so called street to the Right between yellow building and truck parking area.  There is a blue box going up the elevator on the left of you, turn in there to the Right, there is  also a sign.    From the North take the Fairfax Trfwy almost all the way to the end there will be an overhead walkway you will go under, at that point get ready to turn Left . Now go to the end of the street or whatever it is maybe a hundred yards or so and bear Right and there will be a small opening in the concrete levy wall, go through that opening and you are there.  To your Left you will see the memorial or info place, there is a walk way there down to the river.  Stop short of the river it is running swiftly.  Kansas customers traveling I 70 they would take the James st exit 423 B just before turning on the viaduct.  That turns into Fairfax then follow the other folks.

These are images Jim took of the location.  It will be a dandy.  Hope you can meet us to paint.
