Have you ever wanted to create nature inspired art, but felt awkward about setting up your supplies in the middle of the woods or along the trail? Now is your chance to give it a try. Everyone is welcome, whether you are a trained artist or a hobbyist at heart. Once a month, May-August, meet up with BHHT’s Beth Dickens (a hobbyist artist herself) at various trails and be inspired by the scenery.
Each month the “theme” of the scenery will change as will the day, time, and location of each meetup.
•“Spring Ephemerals” on the Parker Point-South Street Trail (in Blue Hill) – Friday, May 29th 2-4pm (Starting at the Parker Point end of the trail.)
•“Views of Blue Hill Mountain” in the field at the base of Blue Hill Mountain (in Blue Hill) – Wednesday, June 17th 10am-noon (Meeting at/near the apple tree.)
•“Coastline & Intertidal Zone” on the shore at Carter Nature Preserve (in Surry) – Tuesday, July 21st 9:30-11:30am (Meeting at the Shore & Woods Trail kiosk and walking to the beach.)
•“Scenic Vista” on the Peter Clapp Accessible Trail at Caterpillar Hill (in Sedgwick) – Wednesday, August 12th 4-6pm (Meeting at the parking area and walking up the trail.)
Beth will supply attendees with nature-journals and colored pencils, and have sit-upon mats, and a few folding chairs, but you are welcome to bring your own personal supplies too. This isn’t intended as an instructional period, but a space where you and your art can feel supported.
No registration is required. Come as you are able.
This event is intended for people ages 16 and older.
*These are fair-weather gatherings and do not have rain-dates.
**If you have questions about the properties or your ability to participate, please give our office a call at 374-5118.
