The Hood River Painters meet on Tuesdays. Here is a message from Bonnie White:

This week (Tuesday, August 17) the Hood River painters will paint at Good News Gardening, where there is shade, you can show up early or stay late if you want, there is an abundance of subject matter, there are bathrooms, good food, coffee, you don't have to drive far... no excuses! Good News Gardening is 1086 Tucker Road, Hood River.

The paint out at the Portland Women's Forum started out overcast, but sure enough, for those who took their time, the clouds lifted and we had an absolutely beautiful sunset. I'm including a photo I took on location. Hope you can make it (to Good News) this week.

Paint with the Hood River Painters..Tuesday June 9 at Husum

A message from Bonnie White:
Last week's weather report showed possible rain on Tuesday, which has now been moved up to Thursday. Right now tomorrow looks like the best painting day, so tomorrow it will be. Please note that the time has been moved up two hours. This time of year you miss the best painting time by 9:00 a.m. and last week people arrived at 7a.m., 8 a.m., and 9 a.m. It worked out well, so we've decided to move the time up to 7:00 a.m., for those who can make it, and others may join the group at their pleasure.
We will be painting at Husum, four miles north of White Salmon on Highway 141. There will be a variety of subject matter, ie., the falls, the White Salmon River, some great buildings, lots of trees, and maybe even some rafters or kayakers. I do plan on getting there around 7, so I'll hopefully see you then. Bonnie

P.S. Since 9 a.m. seemed late last week, I had to buckle down and paint and almost forgot to take photos. I missed Donna completely, but captured (Steve and Buckley) her support group, on their way out, along with Todd and Rachel. Jan and I stayed a while did another couple of paintings, which I also didn't photograph.

Hood River, OR: Plans for THURSDAY, April 30, Catherine Creek

(A message from Bonnie White:)
Last Tuesday was a beautiful day to paint, full of blooms and sunshine. These photos are from our painting session at Good News Gardening.

We agreed to paint at Catherine Creek on Thursday April 30, at 9:00 a.m. Catherine Creek is on Old Hwy 8, off of SR 141. From Hood River Bridge, head toward Lyle. It is approx. 5 miles. Go past Courtney Road on your left and right before Rowland Lake turn left on Old Hwy 8. Go around the lake, up the hill, past the vineyard to your right, and right when it levels off you will see parking to the left.

From Lyle turn right on Old Hwy 8, which is the first turn after you go over the Klickitat River. Stay on Highway 8 for about 4-5 miles. Again, you'll see the parking on the right. You'll also see a porta potty on the Columbia River side, which ever direction you come in from.

I haven't checked the weather, I hope it is as good as today. Hope to see you Tuesday. Bonnie
