Utah Guild of Heritage Artists: March 2017 Newsletter

Dear Painters,

Since we didn’t have our meeting last month because Glenna’s Mother-in-law’s funeral was that day, I hope everyone is ready to get back to painting. If anyone did not get the email I am sorry. I tried my best to inform everyone. Please be aware that we will be getting together the first Saturday in May (May 6) to paint the Apple Basket with Lisa. Planning on starting at 9:30. Hopefully everyone can make it. Please let me know if there is a problem.

Hope you are all looking forward to painting with Brenda Stott this month on the 18^th. She is a great teacher. Remember that it is a bring your own wood. I sent the pattern out through the mail for those who signed up. If you didn’t get the pattern call me. I will not be at the meeting because I will be in California painting with Misha. Lisa has graciously offered to take over for me. Wood will be available for the April meeting which is a beautiful Rosemaling tree designed by Kristen Birkeland. So happy to have her teach us. Luckily we don’t have to worry about the marathon this year. Our meeting will be on the regular 3 week.

If you are interested in painting with Terzah Probasco in May, please sign up so we can get the wood ordered. It is a beautiful Rosemaling basket but the design would certainly adapt to other surfaces.

While talking about Rosemaling please consider the seminar that Kristen is sponsoring. Such a great chance to learn from one of the masters.

I am so excited to have Judy Diephouse as a seminar teacher October 27 and 28. The pieces have been chosen and we have decided to only charge $50.00 a day for members and $60.00 a day for nonmembers. It will be a bring your own wood seminar. Really a deal for taking from a national teacher. Please put it on your calendar.

Shonnie also has a great retreat planned. So many fun things coming up. Thanks for everyone making our chapter great.

Happy Painting!

Judy

Kristen Birkeland will be teaching the beautiful rosemaled tree. Kristen made up her own pattern. It is a bit "Christmasie" for April, but it will give us a chance to get it done in time for Christmas! Kristen did two sides to the tree. The first one below is the one we will be painting. When you come to the class she will provide the pattern for the other side of the tree. The cost for the wood and pattern is $35.00. Wood has already been ordered for this class. The cost for the pattern only is $10.00.

This is the pattern we will be painting in the class.

When you come to class, you will be given this pattern for the back side.
