Hi all,
I hope you are all well. I can't believe it's November already. Time is flying by and crawling at the same time. Please be safe and wear a mask when out in public.
If you are interested in any of the below please contact Pat McKean.
Date to be determined- Due to the state of emergency the governor has issued, Kristen's class will be delayed until our February meeting. Kristen is teaching the beautiful plate. $10 for the pattern. You are on your own for the surface. Kristen painted it on a cool plate from Turn of the Century, RNSP-16. Very cool plate but $36. Design without rim is 12-13 inches.
Dec 12 - Glenna is teaching the design below. It is $12 for plaque and pattern. We are ordering 12. Be sure to note the earlier date. Please coordinate with Pat McKean to order the project. 
Jan 16th - Marilyn will teach the poinsettia. $10 for the pattern. Many of you have already paid for this when originally scheduled for March 2020.
Take care.
Happy Painting.
Betty

Happy Fall!
Hello ladies!
I want to thank Glenna for all the work she did to make it possible to do our first Zoom meeting and class last month!
I want to thank Gail Jensen for being willing to be the first teacher to give it a try. Thanks to those who painted along. I think it went well and we will continue this way for at least the next couple of months.
Next up is Kay Salisbury teaching the fun mad scientist Frog. This class will be on October 17th. Meeting at 9 am. We will start painting immediately following. There is one surface left. Contact Pat McKean if you are interested.
November 21 - Kristen Birkeland - Lovely rosemaling plate - $10 for pattern; on your own for wood. She painted it on a 16" plate (RNSP-16 from Turn of the Century). Very cool plate. If you don't add the border a 12 - 13" plate will work without changing the size of the pattern.
I hope you are all doing well! Hope to see you all on ZOOM on Oct 17th.
Take care!
Betty

Hi all,
I'm sad to announce we will be canceling the Opening Social. We want everyone to remain healthy. I miss seeing everyone but want to be sure we can see you in the future. I hope everyone is well.
Our September meeting will be a Zoom meeting. Normal date and time, September 19 at 9 am. For those that want a test run we will have a quick Zoom test the night before at 6:30. The class will be pre-recorded and the link will be on the Blog and probably e-mailed. Zoom is a free app. If you Google ZOOM the option will come up to download and it will walk you through loading it.
Pat McKean will have wood and patterns for September and October. Please coordinate with her for payment and pick up of the surface(s). We will try to make it as contact free as possible. FYI - There are no electronic payment options at this time.
If you are missing classes, many teachers are offering free classes or inexpensive classes.
Try Facebook or YouTube.
Some I have been looking at/taking on Facebook:
Once a month on Thursday night at 6 MT she is doing a free innovative pencil (mix of JoSonja paint as watercolor and pencil). The other Thursdays are a tip night her daughter Aubrey does, a product review, and the other is not coming to me.
Sandy McTier Designs
She does the mixed media book, painting, etc.
Tracy Moreau has been doing free Saturday morning classes. Well except you need to buy the e-pattern which is typically $7-$9. (The dragonfly I taught at retreat awhile back was her pattern)
Art Journaling with Tracy Weinzapfel Studios
She is hosting a free 12+ hour - 12 Hour Art Party this Saturday beginning at 9 am.
It is a different teacher at the top of every hour. They are recorded and will be available on the page for a month or two after.
Monette Lassiter Satterfield makes mini books. Does art journaling.
The Social Easel Online Paint Studio Free Group! (sorry can't copy links any more)
Some free classes.
She's been doing her 5 favorite things most Friday mornings.
She also has an inner tribe group. Her painting is pretty simple.
Artfully Connected
Some free classes.
Many pay classes.
Variety of teachers.
Audrey LIVE

Painting with Plaid is doing Tuesday and Thursday.
There are many. Watch one or two and links for others start showing up.
If you are not on Facebook Try YouTube:
Janice Timmins - acrylics, colored pencil, and scratch board.
Tracy Moreau - mixed media
and I'm sure many more.
Enjoy!!
Hope to see all of you on ZOOM in September.
Please take care.

President's Message
Hi everyone,
I hope everyone is staying healthy and safe and has had time to do things you enjoy. This will be quick.
Maridene is going to post some photos from Roberta's service and luncheon. I'm looking forward to seeing these, I was traveling for work and could not attend. Thanks to those that could be there and especially Pat McKean for speaking.
Details for the opening social will be in the July newsletter.
Have fun and take care,

Roberta Hixson Hutcheon
1943 ~ 2020
This is a photo of Roberta at our guild Christmas party. She looked gorgeous and stunning with her short gray hair. We will miss you Roberta!
It is with a sad heart that we said goodbye to Robert Hutcheon. Many of us have painted with Roberta for 35-40 years. Her funeral services were perfect and reflected her sweet personality and artistic talent. Pat McKean represented the guild and gave a wonderful talk. Thank you Pat! The guild donated money to cancer research in Roberta's name. Roberta's husband was very thankful for the donation because he wants researchers to find a cure for cancer.
After the graveside services, we were invited to Roberta's home, where her family had her beautiful artwork on display. See the photos below. Roberta was a beautiful and fast painter, and she always finished her projects. Our hearts go out to her husband, Clay, her children and grandchildren.
Ladies from our painting guild that attended the services:
Pat Nelson, Kay Salisbury, Velma Glad, Marilyn Healy,
Pat McKean, Gail Jenson, Shonnie Whitney, and Maridene Alexander.

May 2020 Newsletter
Hello Painting Ladies,We hope that you are all doing well and that you and your family members are in good health during this COVID-19 pandemic.
We have all had to make many changes in our lifestyle, and give up many of the things we enjoy doing the most: painting together as friends, celebrating birthdays and anniversaries, shopping in stores, going to movie theaters, going to concerts, going to plays, and the list goes on and on.
In return, we have all had to look inward. Find new ways to entertain ourselves. Develop our talents. Learn to cook something new. Finish quilting, painting and craft projects that were left undone. Dejunk and clean out our homes. We have been able to really enjoy and appreciate nature. The sky looks bluer than ever before. Our air is cleaner. The stars shine brighter. The blossoms on the trees and the tulips somehow look prettier than we ever noticed. Our animals are happy to have us home. We find joy in the simple things.
Your UGHA Board met via Zoom on Monday evening. We discussed what we do next. Do we hold the May meeting? What about retreat? The group decided, as a whole, that we should hold off a bit longer. We are therefore canceling the May meeting and the retreat in June. This was a very hard decision to make. We were all looking forward to Marilyn's class and the classes we had arranged for retreat. We talked about still offering these classes perhaps throughout the year or at next year's retreat.
We are looking forward to our August 15th opening social at the Grimm family home in Tooele. We will be painting the flamingo that was scheduled for retreat. As well as painting, there will be swimming, favors, and fun. If still suggested, social distancing can happen at the opening social. Twelve flamingos were pre-purchased. The first twelve people to send their payment to Pat McKean will get the ordered pieces. The cost is $17.00.

We hope you understand that we are thinking of you, hoping that we call get through this and that the very smart doctors and scientists find a vaccine for this disease. We do believe that if we follow the guidelines, keep social distancing and wear masks, we can keep safe.
The world will be back to the way we know it. And when it does, we will meet again as friends and painters and create lovely artwork.
Sincerely yours,
UGHA Board Members
I found these pictures of the Coronavirus. It is interesting to see these artist's depictions of this disease.

I hope this finds you all well. Is everyone working on UFOs or trying new things or some combination? I miss you all. I cannot wait until we can paint together again.
We are hoping we can get together in May. We will be painting the poinsettia with Marilyn.
June is retreat. Details are attached. We will be going to Tooele to the Grimm family home. We will not be staying there. Glenna is going to get details on the hotels in the area or you can drive back and forth. There is a pool. We will have access to the kitchen. There are great projects and lots of fun is planned. Please bring payment to the May meeting.
Take care. Please stay safe.
Hope to see you soon.

Hi Ladies!!
Thank you all for your help with the Karen Brouwer seminar. I love Karen and was thrilled we could offer this seminar. I hope everyone enjoyed it. There is a set of paints for each project in a labeled box in the shower at the studio. Please do your best to keep sets together and return them to the shower.
Karen left her finished pieces for us. We will have a raffle ($1 per ticket) funds to be donated to the Assistance League which supports women getting out of abusive relationships, kids, and many, many others. This year, we will also pick a day to volunteer with them pulling clothing together for needy kids. More info to follow on that.
March - Marilyn is teaching a beautiful poinsettia on a canvas covered in wrinkled tissue paper. If you missed her demonstration for applying the tissue paper at the seminar, it can be viewed on Let's Paint with Plaid. Her poinsettia turned out beautifully. Consider bringing a friend.
Donna will stop in to talk to us in March about April and May's painting from a photo. Please bring a few photos you are considering and she will talk to each of us. She will also pass out a supply list. I'm very excited for this. I have some photos I have been wanting to paint and have not attempted.
Look forward to seeing you all for March's meeting.
Enjoy!
Betty

April 28 and May 16 - Painting from a photo
Donna Richards will be teaching us how to paint from a photo.
This will be a two-part class in April and May. A landscape or some outdoor
subject would be a perfect choice for the seminar won’t be intended for painting a portrait of a human or a pet but they will learn a few things that would still apply.

Hi Ladies!!
I would like to thank Glenna one more time for teaching in January. The kids playing in the snow was a great project. I would also like to thank all those that provided food and raffle items.
There is no regular meeting this month. I'm thrilled, excited, and over the moon that Karen Brouwer will be teaching a seminar on February 27-29.
Karen is great fun to paint with. All paint will be provided in class. The snow globes need to be prepped. If you do not have prep or line drawings please contact Pat McKean 801-631-6100 or me 801-699-1246. The wrens and hummingbirds are prepped. You may want to trace the pattern just in case.
Karen Brouwer Seminar
February 27 - 29, 2020
Will be held at:
Lion's Club in Bluffdale
1881 W 14400 S
Bluffdale, UT 84065
There is a church next door. Parking is allowed there as well. The building will be open at about 8:30 AM. A light breakfast and lunch will be provided. Plan to paint until approximately 5 pm.
I will have Marilyn'/s March project at the seminar. She did a wonderful job. It is a beautiful poinsettia on a canvas covered with tissue paper and then painted on. This is from an on-line Paint with Plaid class. Marilyn will demo putting the tissue on at the February seminar. The original piece is on a 12 X 16 canvas. The size can be adjusted. This may be a good project for any beginners you wish to invite but it was suggested using a smaller canvas for beginners or if you want to finish the piece at the meeting.
Donna Richards will be teaching us to paint from a photo in April and May. Donna will stop in at the March meeting to explain further and bring a supply list. I'm going to have a hard time picking a photo. There are a few from vacations I have wanted to paint but have not tackled. I'm excited Donna has committed two months to us to teach us how.
All those headed to Vegas -- safe travels. Please bring pieces to the March meeting for show and tell. Thanks for all your support.
Enjoy!
