6/7/8 "Paint Down on the Farm"
Deep in the big city is a lovely old farm
with a pecan grove, old farm buildings, two excellent
restaurants, a gift store, and a tool shed turned into a
lovely studio. Cindy Carrillo
is the Artist in Residence
at The Artist Studio and invites APAP members to come on
down and paint. Part of our mission is education and we
want to introduce Plein Air to the customers of The
Farm. This oasis in the city has a working organic farm
that supplies most of the fine restaurants in town, rows
of flowers, old farm equipment, plenty to paint. There
will be coffee & rolls ready on Sat. & Sun. mornings and
instructions on where NOT to set your easel. We
will request that you register with Cindy so The Farm
can have a head count. This place is very busy on
weekends with people coming for picnic lunches and to
show and walk the property. We want APAP members to be
ready to answer questions about plein-air, hand out
flyers about The Artist Studio, and hand out your
business cards. So, plan to come down for the weekend,
go see the Cowboy Artist show, downtown Scottsdale
galleries, Chandler Mall shopping and painting at The
Farm at South Mountain. We will be painting on the
grounds all three days so come anytime. Mornings and
over lunch is a great time.
