Kicking off Spring

Spring paint out opportunity at Radnor Lake
Monday, April 5th at 10:00am

Please join Brigitte and Donna for an early ‘kicking off spring’ paint out opportunity. Many of the anticipated blooms have begun to sprout, and the weather forecasted for that day looks fantastic. We will meet at the top of Otter Creek Rd by the dam waterway at 10:00am, and spread out from there. If you arrive late, check in with us or feel free to set out on your own to find your perfect spot. Also, remember the ‘leave no trace’ guidelines on the website under member resources. Radnor Lake is a State Natural Area and the rules and regulations put in place for its protection are strictly enforced – see www.radnorlake.org for more details.

Let us know you’re coming so we can look for you –

On behalf of the Andrew Jackson Foundation, it is my honor to provide these comments of endorsement of The Chestnut Group. We have worked with TCG twice in recent years; both times have been successful, outstanding experiences.

The members – artists, volunteers and staff – are exceptionally talented in their individual roles and committed to producing high-quality plein air art that captures the essence of Middle Tennessee.

The scenes of Andrew Jackson’s Hermitage that the TCG artists have produced offer fresh and beguiling perspectives of this National Historic Landmark.

The Chestnut Group celebrates Tennessee’s immense natural blessings through painting. People are transported to wild and beautiful places by the Chestnut Group’s talented artists.

The Cumberland River Compact is so grateful to the painters for capturing and recording this beauty. Their paintings help us communicate the importance of our work. Their art shows are always a fun event that draw new as well as established art collectors. We are grateful for the Chestnut Group!

Mekayle Houghton, Executive Director CUMBERLAND RIVER COMPACT

The Chestnut Group has been a partner with us at Radnor Lake State Natural Area over the past 10+ years. I have and continue to be very grateful for their efforts on several fronts, including the donation of their time and talents to help us highlight the value of scenic places such as Radnor Lake, the plant life and wildlife that reside there and perhaps most importantly helping create a "sense of place" for millions of park visitors through their efforts. I look forward to working with the Chestnut Group and Friends of Radnor Lake this year as we close in on our fall 2017 event to continue that effort and look forward to working with them for many years to come

Steve Ward, Park Manager Radnor Lake
