Plein Air Update and Schedule

We have have been lucky so far with the weather and Ashlawn Farms was no exception. If we can trust our weatherman, it looks like it will be sunshine again next week on Wednesday, September 3rd. We are scheduled to paint at Charmyard Vineyard in Clinton. Take exit 63 off I95 and turn North on Route 81. Drive just pass the outlets and turn left on Walnut Hill road. Go down 8/10th of a mile and it merges with Cow Hill Road. The vineyards are on your left. We can get there to paint at 9 as usual but the inside facilities do not open to the public until 11.
