Tifft Nature Preserve
Monday, June 7th
Meet up: 9:30 am
Sign up: Kath Schifano (kathyschifano@gmail.com)
1200 Fuhrmann Boulevard
Rambling paths, a huge pond and lazy creek water, swans and ducks, turtles sunning themselves, graceful willows, boardwalks and trails, picnic benches and shade trees. Did I mention birdsongs? The paintings I have completed at Tifft wind up with titles like “Calm” or “Peace”. It is just plain wonderful, an oasis nestled off Route 5 in South Buffalo.
There are clean outhouses if the visitor center happens to be closed.

Cannot wait to get back to this great setting by the water; convenient parking; restroom available; several vantage points to consider at the mouth of this harbor looking into the marinas and inner harbor, across the "channel" to Sunset Island and even some close-up opportunities of nearby cottages and small gardens.

Burchfield Nature Center
Tuesday July 6
2001 Union Road, West Seneca
Meet up: 9:30 am
This is another jewel of a park hidden in suburbia. A very short walk takes you to the edge of the very shallow Buffalo River passing between huge trees, a tall wall and paradise. There is a lovely curve in the water and gentle flowing rivulets in one direction, the bridge over Union in the other. Right at the parking lot is a playground, giant rocks and a landscaped (mostly closed) park building. Charles Burchfield home is on the side street there-this was his playground.

This paint out will be at Vermont Street and the 17 th Street connection. There is a community vegetable and flower garden there. It is nestled in a neighborhood of worker’s homes with a few businesses, and there is parking on the street. Painters can come anytime during those hours and stay as long as they like.
