Paint Out June 25th

A mid-week Paint Out is planned for Wednesday, June 25th at the Duckworth Flower Farm from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.  Bring a sack lunch and your painting/sketching supplies and spend the day in the rolling hills east of Bloomington. You'll enjoy painting in the colorful gardens of Cheryl Duckworth, of the Bloomington Farmer's Market. Painters of all skill levels are encouraged to attend.

Driving Directions: Take third street East, past the mall, pass Smith Road, and then pass the old Ryans Steak house.  On the right you will see a sign that says 446 to Lake Monroe.  Century Suites is on the right.  Take a right on 446.  One mile up 446 is a flashing blinker light.  There is a church on the left.  Take a left at the blinker light.  This is Lampkins Ridge Road.  Lampkins Ridge is very winding.  It is only 4 miles long, but seems longer!  Stay on this road.  There is a small road that veers off to the left, about half way, but it is gravel.  Just stay on the main paved road.  When you are almost there you will go down a long hill.  As you go down the hill, the house is on the left.  It is a Red Brick Ranch, in the middle of 8 acres, and surrounded by a lot of white pines.  The address on the mailbox is 7807. Please park anywhere!  Alongside the polebarn is fine, it is closest to the main garden.
