I have secured a new spot that I’m certain will be a hit. On Thursday, September 12th we’ll gather at the St. Dunstan home of my friends Jo and Bruce Ikelheimer. Located at 89 Saint Dunstans Rd, Asheville NC 28803, a hidden gem of a neighborhood tucked between Biltmore Ave. and McDowell St. It’s a circa 1910 home, with the sort of amazing features you’d expect from that era. If you enjoy painting architecture this one’s for you! In addition the home sits on over an acre of land with some lovely gardens. There’s other equally attractive homes nearby that you can also choose to render. However, like anytime we gather at a private residence (think last year at Kenilworth Lake and this year at Andrea’s Farm) parking can be challenging. Bruce and Jo have enough parking for several cars, and there is limited street parking, but if folks can carpool that would certainly help. I can take two or three others, so anyone wishing to carpool please email or message me and I’ll make arrangements to meet you at a convenient location. As usual we’ll gather around 9:30 and share out at noon. This would be a great time to get together afterwards for lunch.

These are the dates that are more or less confirmed. James is waiting on a few inquiries and, as he did last year, leaving some dates open in the event of rain outs. We’re also visiting a few favorite spots more than once.
