THTLT Paint Out Staff & Volunteers

2009 Tug Hill Paint Out
The 2009 Plein Air Paint Out was a great success!  The event was held on Sunday, June 21st, at Constable Hall in conjunction with Constable Hall's Annual Arts & Crafts and Antique Car Show.  Eighteen of the region's premier artists painted amidst the events taking place, while attendees walked from artist to artist asking them questions and admiring their talent.  Following the event, the plein air paintings were auctioned off at the benefit auction, located at the Constablevile Auction Hall.  
The auction was a fun and interactive event, and raising over $3000 - was also a great success!  Thank you to all of the artists that participated, we hope to see you next year!  In addition, thank you to all of the volunteers that made this event possible; we greatly appreciate it.

TUG HILL FIELD GUIDE    
BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND      

Tug Hill: A Four Season Guide to The Natural Side, illustrated and edited by local naturalist and wildlife artist Robert McNamara, is again available for use in learning and navigating the Tug Hill Region. Contributing writers include John Cecil, the late Lee B. Chamberlaine, Peter Gaskin, Glenn Johnson, Donald E. Moore, III, and Lisa St. Hilaire. The guide features a sampling of the plants and animals of ten of the major habitats that make up the Tug Hill, and includes a narrative of natural events, organized by season. An easy-to-use source for the identification of a variety of species, the 288 pages include 64 color plates with beautiful full-color illustrations by McNamara.   The reprint was made possible by a generous grant from the Northern New York Community Foundation, Senator James Wright and National Grid. 

Perfect for the student and experienced naturalist alike, the book uses a Quick Habitat Finder Guide, a color-coded edge symbol system, for quick and easy reference. This book is a must-have for every nature library, and a gift which will provide hours of enjoyment both at home and in the field.   The price is $24.95 plus tax and shipping for a total of $30.00.
