Do you know of a great spot for painting on location? Would you like some company while you paint? If you would like to host a paint out please contact me, lisa@lisamitchellstudio.com and I'll post the event. Out artists don't require much. Just a place to park, restrooms, directions to the location and a beautiful spot to paint.

Thank you,
Lisa Mitchell
