February Newsletter

Happy February everyone!
Please remember our chinoiserie class with Hazel is a week earlier than normal.February 14th.  Start Valentine's Day with friends.  Thank you Hazel for teaching this gorgeous piece.   I am still deciding what I want to paint it on. Digging through my stash of surfaces. I may do 4 small canvases.
Bill Bayer will not be coming, unfortunately. Not enough interest. 
Vegas convention is February 22 - 27.  Hope to see some of you down there.
Thanks to Judy for teaching the cute and fun Snow Belle in January.  There are two pieces left and two extra inserts if anyone is interested.
Next month Shara Reiner is coming to teach three pieces.  One each day March 19, 20, and 21.  Paint is ordered. If you have not signed up already and are interested please let Loretta or me know. You are on your own for the surfaces except the can for the mixed media piece on Thursday. Big thanks to Velma for saving cans for us. I am excited for this seminar.
April will be the Rogaland Rosettes plate with Nola Phillips.  Ten plates have been ordered and are here.
May will be a zentangle apron with Brenda Stott. More details and photo coming soon.
I hope to see you all on Valentine's Day.
Be safe. Stay healthy.
Happy Painting!

 January Meeting
A big thanks for Judy for sharing her time and talents with us during our January meeting. This friendly little snowman was just the ticket to start off another great year of painting together.
