Grab your travel-friendly painting supplies and/or sketchbook and join us for some art outdoors. All levels and types welcome!

We're meeting at [Ayr Mount](https://www.jenrette.org/ayr-mount), a historic estate with extensive grounds. Most of us will probably be along the "poet's walk" trail, a 1-mile loop walking trail that meanders through the woodlands, meadows, and fields surrounding Ayr Mount historic house.

I set the event to officially start at 10am, though a small group of us prefers to start earlier at 9 so feel free to come early if you like.

At 12pm, meet together again near the trail head/parking for the "throw down" where we can admire each other's work.

Event will be canceled in case of poor weather. I will send an email update from Meetup if this happens, so RSVP here to get the updates (will only send to people who replied yes).

**Tips**

* Wear comfortable clothing for the weather and supportive shoes for walking on uneven terrain.
* Bring a hat, sunscreen, and bug spray.
* Bring water and any other beverages or snacks you may want.
* If you don't have an easel or don't prefer standing, bring a folding chair/stool or picnic blanket.
* Make sure you're able to carry your supplies for short to medium distances, depending on your preferred painting location.
* Be aware of your surroundings and the weather. Watch out for uneven terrain and signs of heat exhaustion. Hike at your own risk. Stay hydrated.
* Leave the area as you found it or better. Bring any trash out with you.
