The 3rd Annual Lyme Land Conservation Trust Paint-Out continues the plein air tradition established by the early American Impressionists who founded the Lyme Art Colony over a hundred years ago. All plein air artists are invited to join their colleagues for a beautiful autumn weekend of outdoor painting and camaraderie.
The 2014 Paint-Out will be located in the northwest corner of New London County on the Lyme Land Trustâs 102-acre Banningwood Preserve. The clear waters of Roaring Brook flow through the middle of the Preserve. Dramatic stone ledges, once quarried to provide stone for nearby Gillette Castle, rise over the landscape. These quarries are now filled with water and provide important habitats for local birds and wildlife. The buildings and steeples of Deep River can be viewed from the ridgeline. Additional features include lush meadows, cedar groves, and tree canopies over the river.
For breakfast and lunch, take the less-than-a-quarter-mile jaunt over to the charming Hadlyme Country Store at Hadlyme Four Corners. They have Ashlawn coffee, breakfast sandwiches, homemade pastries, and a very tasty lunch menu.
Works created during the 2014 Paint-Out are eligible for exhibition and sale during the Celebrating Lymeâs Beauty Exhibition, to be held at the Lyme Art Association from November 14, 2014 through January 4, 2015.
