Paint-out at Pinchot Forest

The paint-out at Pinchot Forest was a fabulous success! Thanks to Wesley Greene, the event coordinating team, the 12 artists from the Western North Carolina Plein Air Painters group, and all the folks who dropped by the event!

I set up my easel under a large shade tree with a southern view of the Meadow and Mills Gap. Here are four pictures of the painting in progress. (12 x 24, acrylic on canvas.)





Scott Boyle gives an impromptu demonstration. It's always inspiring to see another artist at work.

I will be painting on location at Pinchot Forest along with a number of other artists from the Western North Carolina Plein Air Painters group in conjunction with an exclusive event.

There will also be four finished landscape paintings from the property on display in the sales office.



Pinchot Forest is a gated development in South Asheville that has enjoys a number of amazing views. The grounds consist of nearly 70 acres, situated on the southern spur of Busbee Mountain.

You are invited to drop by, see some paintings in progress, explore Pinchot Forest and witness the breathtaking views!

At this time, roads and improvements have been put in, but no structures have been built yet (meaning unrestricted access to views!)

Pinchot Forest is located at Mills Gap and Pinners Cove, about a mile from Hendersonville Road.

Directions:
