May 2017 Newsletter




Hi Painting Ladies, 

We had a great time painting with Kristen last month and I even have my tree finished.  Hope everyone else did as well.

Please remember that we will be painting the Apple Basket with Lisa this Saturday (May 6th) which we missed in February.  I will be there at 9:00 a.m. and we will start painting as soon as possible.  Thanks Lisa for the adjustment.

Looking forward to painting with Tirzah this month which is a project I have been  wanting to paint for some time now.  Tirzah did call me the other day and feels that if we get some of the basing done ahead there is a chance we could finish our pieces.  Everyone knows the background is JoSonja’s Cobblestone.  After that just base in the scrolls with Stillwater, the leaves with Olive Green, all red areas with Red Earth, and all yellow areas with Raw Sienna.  Please check the colored picture for placement.  The flowers look white but are really yellow.

Shonnie and her committee have really been working on retreat which is coming up next month.  We should be able to pick up out projects at the meeting this month so we are ready for all the fun.  Hopefully everyone can make it to at least some of the festivities.

July is vacation time so have fun and we will be seeing you at the opening social August 26th.  More information will be coming soon.


                                                        Thanks for everyone's support this year.
