March 2019 Newsletter


Hello Painting Friends,

It is hard to believe it's March already, however the weather should be clue enough--snow and rain in the same day!!! Hopefully March will go out like a lamb, since it came in like a lion.  

February's meeting was fun, and I've seen a few finished plates that are really cute, and just in time for St. Patrick's day.  

I hope everyone is looking forward to our painting time with Kay--she designed the table we are painting on March 16, 2019, and I think they will  look great on our summer patio with a nice colorful glass of lemonade.  I hope everyone will come and paint together.  If you aren't painting the project, bring a UFO to finish, and enjoy chatting and lunch with us.   

Our April project will be a great addition to the spring theme, designed and taught by Donna Richards.  The design can be painted on just about any surface, so we can all decrease our wood stashes by one. 

 Jan has already made the boxes for May, can't wait to paint mine.  

Retreat theme "take a hike" will be so fun, and Lisa is working hard to round up the projects.   Take care and see you all March 16, 2019.

Donna Richards will be teaching our cute and fun summer flowers project. The piece is 9 x 12", but the pattern can be any size.  Those painting the design need to bring their own surface.  The pattern and prep instructions will be available at the March meeting.  


   

May 18, 2019 Class - 9:00 am

Our May project is this wonderful box that holds cell phones so that you can charge 
them.  Jan Pecharich will be teaching this project. I don't know about you, but I am 
tired of having cell phones all over the place.  Jan has made 12 of the phone charger boxes for this project.  If we need more, she has to have the order by no later than March 16th.  She goes on vacation in April.

April Bill Bayer Seminar - Golden Spike Decorative Painter

Bill “Ridley” Bayer began painting as a hobby in 1988. The following year he studied with Bob Ross and became a certified instructor of Bob’s wet on wet technique. He has since studied with many other well know artists developing his own style of painting. Bill has published five instructional books and three DVD's titled "Down Roads... Less Traveled" showcasing his talents. Bill uses his middle name “Ridley” as his signature. Ridley was also his grandfather’s name and Bill signs his paintings in “Paps” honor. Bill and his wife Fran live in St. Louis Mo and many of Bill’s compositions are inspired by the beautiful countryside surrounding their home. Bill paints in oils, acrylic and watercolor and travels across the country teaching the techniques he has learned.
