Dear Painters:
I can’t believe August is here already. I hope everyone has been enjoying their summer.
We had our Summer Social July 10th in Tirzah’s beautiful back yard. Everyone had a great time. Thank you Tirzah for hosting this event. I want to thank everyone that came. It was nice to see some of our past members and find out what they have been doing.
I want to welcome back Rita and Rosina. I know the Chapter is looking forward to painting with you again.
This month Kristen Birkeland will be teaching her "Folk Art Oval Basket", August 27th. There is still time to sign up. You will need to find your own wood.
Our Fall Seminar with Bill Bayer will be held September 21st thru 23rd, at the Riverdale Community Center.
Our Members need to be thinking about running for an Office for 2012. Elections will be held in September this year. You will be contacted by a member of the Nominating Committee.
Please remember to bring your items for the Food Bank and you will receive one free raffle ticket.
I look forward to painting with everyone this month.
Keep painting.
Nancy

September Bill Bayer Seminar
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.
