WEATHER NOTE: 40% chance light rain at 9 am
THENBy 10 am drops to 0% rest of the painting time. Room on the porch of tailrace to paint from there or I'll be at the far left on the peninsula. See you there. At Copperhead Island I painted in watercolor, under trees, we had a sprinkle that never made it through the trees but was pretty on the water. NEXT... Tuesday, August 27, 2019 9 AM* * or earlier...sunrise is beautiful here Plein Air Buds Paint Out @ Tailrace Marina 1000 Marina Village Dr, Mt Holly, NC 28120 ABOUT Tailrace Marina is located on Lake Wylie across the water from the Whitewater Center. I go by often- it's beautiful- and especially as the mist on the water rises with the sun as it finally peaks through the treetops. Such a pleasant place. Plenty of sun and shade and great varieties of scenes to paint. There are bathrooms at the top of the stairs of the Tailrace Marina Building. Also there are picnic tables on the grounds and lots of boats in dock. At different times of day, often boats, kayakers and sailboards are on the waer. By the way, Tailrace rents kayaks... see more below. LOCATION Tailrace Marina is directly on the water on the Mount Holly side of Lake Wylie just north of I-85 and west of 485. It is located at the end of a neighborhood in the same parking lot with the fantastic restaurant JR Cash's Grill & Bar (formerly J. Peters. ) Drop your gear at the Marina and then park just outside the parking lot as the restaurant will need the space at lunch. Park along the road in the "pull in to curb" parking all along the entrance road behind the cove and the Tailrace building. VIEWS marina - boats - cove - trees - lake - woods - forest big sky views- long river/lake views - and often egret, heron other birds fish along the river and at the end of the left peninsula as past Tailrace Marina protected by shade. The right peninsula beyong restaurant along has additional views. Please set up just off the boardwalk so you won't block the walkway.
