I hope you are having a happy summer. Have you been able to do any painting this summer?
Our opening social is coming up in a couple of weeks on August 17 at 9:00 a.m. We will be painting the cute owls taught by Tirzah. Bring your own wood to paint on. Pat McKean still has some patterns if you need one.
The September Seminar with Kristin Birkelund is coming up on September 20 and 21. We are hoping to have the wood available at the opening social for pick up.
We have an exciting announcement from Betty Van Pelt, President Elect. Our next year's seminar will be February 28 and 29. We will have Karen Brower from Australia here. The seminar will be held directly following Vegas Painting. Betty will bring some class options to the opening social.
We have so many fun things planned. I can't wait to see you all at the Opening Social,
See you soon!
