As we drove the walking tour we were looking where we could park our cars so we wouldn't get stuck in the snow and a has good view. Our weather can be quite challenging. Today it is 0 degree Fahrenheit.
We discovered Phantom Glen Park. The parking lot was plowed and you could see the ice fishing shanties on the lake or paint winter bare trees and snow.
We checked out the beautiful historical buildings downtown along Rochester St. (Hwy 83) and decided they were best left for summer because we would need to park on the back streets.
We also checked out the historical buildings along Main St. (Hwy ES). There is limited parking which is snow covered now, so also best for summer. We looked at #30 Wanner house, 719 S. Jefferson St. It's been remodeled and sided so not very interesting to paint as a historical building. There's an interesting building at 711 Main St. #33 and at Meacham & Main St.
We looked over the area in the Grand Ave area of town. We decided to put #5 Pius Church and#7 John Cloisy Family home onto the winter schedule. We didn't put #3 Muckwonago Community library on the schedule as it is a modern building.
Then we checked out Heaven City and put it on the schedule. We drove past the lakes on Hidden Lakes Drive and looked the private Hidden Lakes Park at W275 S8735 Lakeside. The area around the park is very scenic but their lot is not plowed right now and it would be dangerous to park on the street as cars go down the road very fast.
I posted the painting schedule on the Milwaukee Sketch Club blog at http://milwaukeesketchclub.
