A group of about a dozen brave NPS painters defied the "possibly rainy" weather forecast and attended the NPS Nisqually Paint Out on September 12. They were rewarded with a lovely day: Muted grays, some blue sky, and NO rain! Plus a chance to socialize and win door prizes.
We are finalizing schedules for 2027. If you have ideas for Paint Out locations, let us know.
