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!

                                                             Betty

October 2019 Newsletter

Dear UGHA Members:

October is here, and as you have all probably noticed, fall has come in with a snap. I am enjoying the fall weather, fall leaves and the colors that come with this cooler weather. It happens to be one of my favorite times of the year.

It's so fun to start painting for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and especially Christmas this year. For some reason, it ended up that we will be painting two Christmas themed projects this fall.

In October, we will be painting a JoSonja Santa plate design taught by Nora Linscott. She has painted the original colors and design, and also another one with a different background—I call that going the extra mile. 

And then in November, Lisa Peck will be repainting an original oil design by Margaret Wehking, called Christmas Plate #4, to acrylics so that we can all go back and enjoy a wonderful time in our decorative painting past.

I want to thank both Nora and Lisa for being willing to paint projects, and then teach these designs to us. We are all so lucky to have each other, and to have such fun painting together. 

Just a quick reminder that we will be voting on officers for the 2020 year at our October meeting, and that we do need to pay our dues for the next year by the end of December.

See you all October 19th, brush in hand.

Glenna Nielsen: Chapter President

September 2019 Newsletter

SEPTEMBER 2019 NEWSLETTER - This is a recap of the newsletter that Glenna sent out last month.  We just wanted to add it here for historical purposes.  Please check out the October newsletter that is also posted on the blog for the most current information!

Hello fellow painters,

I'm sure you have all noticed the change in weather.  I can't believe that summer is almost gone (only 2 more weeks) and it will officially be fall.  I hope you have all enjoyed your summer and the great weather we have had.

Our opening social was fun, and everyone enjoyed painting with Tirzah.  My owls were so fun to paint, and I enjoyed the time spent with everyone else.  I don't know about you, but I can't think of a more delightful way to spend a Saturday than painting with all of you - and sharing our love of decorative painting.

As we move into fall, I am excited about our upcoming seminar with Kristen on September 20 and 21.  Please see the information on the seminar below.  If you haven't received your painting surfaces, please contact Pat McKean.   Prep instructions and patterns were passed out at our August meeting/fall social.  Cake plates will be taught on Friday, and the Box will be taught on Saturday.  Please try to have your background on, pattern on and if you can, the green leaves based in.  Kristen has suggested that if you have a nifty device like a tilted turntable it may help.  

See you all in September.

Glenna Nielsen - Chapter President

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.
