Hart Prairie Conservancy near
Flagstaff
"Beat the Heat"
High Prairie by David Haskell
Sheila Savanah
Painting Hart
Prairie was Cool.
The sky was blue,
the afternoon thunderheads spectacular, and the air was
just so cool and refreshing. The fantastic weather made
you want to paint all day, and some did. Nine APAP
members gathered among the bright green aspens and
fields of wildflowers to capture the essence of this
very special Nature Conservancy Preserve. Those who
stayed in the log cabins found them to be quaint and
very comfortable. Others camped nearby and met with the
others each morning at the main cabin to compare notes
and discuss good painting locations. Thanks to our
APAP organizer, Dawn Sutherland, this paint-out will
stand out as one of the very best of the year. Dawn is
planning other paint-outs at Nature Conservancy
Preserves throughout Arizona. We hope to be able to
paint at Hart Prairie every year.
In attendance were:
>Guru Kerin,
>Toni Perrin
>Diane Scholar
>Sheila Savannah
>Barbara Donahue
>Dawn Sutherland
>Jerry Pond
>Dave Haskell
>Linda Umphrey
Reported By David Haskell
Directions:
Approach
Flagstaff and take Hwy 180 north out of Flag.
Most highway signs indicate "Hwy 180/Grand Canyon"
180 is also known as Ft. Valley Road. (This means
traveling through a good piece of the city and going
out the northeast corner of town toward the Snowbowl
ski area.) Once you pass the turn for Snowbowl,
continue on 180 just a few more miles and watch for
a yellow highway caution (diamond-shaped) sign on
the right indicating to turn on headlights. The
road to Hart Prairie is almost immediately after
that...FS 151. Turn right and follow that road all
the way in to the property. Along that dirt road,
there are several opportunities to turn off. Just
stay on FS151. It will make a large bend to the
left and the gate for the TNC property will be on
the right. Once through the gate, half-mile or so
on a rather narrow dirt road will take one right up
to the Conservancy buildings.
I plan to be there
Sunday evening and on into Monday afternoon
and should have my cell phone with me, although I
don't know how good reception is. My # is
(928) 593-0604. Any time I've been back in
there, the road is in pretty good condition. I
wouldn't say 4WD is necessary, high clearance might
be helpful, but I don't want to scare any one off.
A caveat about following routes marked "Grand
Canyon". Hwy 89 will also take one to the
Grand Canyon and may also be so marked in some
locations. Do NOT take that one or you'll be on the
wrong side of the mountains. I know how to traverse
a route there, but I'm not about to advise anyone
else on how to do it.
Dawn Sutherland is our host for this Paint-out.

“Plein air painting, or painting on location, is a long
tradition with landscape artists,” said Gwen Meyer,
owner of Joyous Lake Gallery. “There is a special
excitement in a piece that has been produced onsite. We
will have wonderful areas for them to paint in!
Locations this year will include Escudilla Mountain, the
Sunrise area, Forest Road 117 toward Green’s Peak, and
probably Woodland Lake Park and Big Springs. Its our
most beautiful season of the year, so we will be looking
for artwork that showcases that beauty. If you see
someone painting, give them a toot or stop and say
hello!” Meyer guides the artists to specific paint-out
locations, although they are free to paint anywhere in
the White Mountains they choose.

7/8/9 "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 artists 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 Fri. 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 because of all the visitors.
On Friday Nov. 7th Toni Perrin will be doing an oil
painting demo.
On Sunday, Nov. 9th, Linda Dellandre
will be doing a pastel demo. Come watch and learn.
