Three of my artist buds are participating: VoilART! partner Jackie Schindehette, Nancy Moskovitz and program/poster artist Linda Blondheim, all who have blogs listed at right. Directed to Fair Oaks Farm by Nancy, this spectacular property avails itself to artists and visitors alike during the paint out. Greeted by Linda and Henry (Studio Dog), we secured a golf cart (generously provided by the property owner) and embarked on a self-guided farm tour.
This is old Florida at it's pristine finest.
Hazy skies filtered down through these fairy-tale oaks.
This oak is so enormous that the lower limbs bend to the ground. What history do you think these trees have witnessed? Civil War? Indian Wars? Cortez and his army? Michael is awed.
Mary Jane Volkmann paints a lovely scene at the water's edge. We met at Epcot a few weeks ago.The Evinston Paint Out continues through this week until Saturday, April 24th, ending with a reception at the President’s House at University of Florida for the Patron’s Gala at 6:30 pm.

Sharon, I'm so glad you and Michael got to see what we've been so excited about. Thank you for helping promote the event and much thanks for the shout out! Just watching your face, I'm thinking you'd like to try painting out there some time.
You're so welcome Nancy.
I'd more interested in a paint out that took place at the ocean.
