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
Weekly - Thursdays at 11 or 12
From Canada - Live interview and demo from a wide variety of teachers from all over the world. She is part of Pinterest Canada. I won a free collage journaling class from a woman in the Netherlands.
Crafter Dude Creations

Tim Holtz

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,
Betty
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.
