2015 Seminars and Paint-ins
Hi
Painters and a Happy Thanksgiving
THOUGHT
FOR THE MONTH
”Life
is bringing you opportunities to shine. Chances to wow people with
your talents. To be recognized for your abilities. To be rewarded for
your efforts. To be respected, admired and appreciated for who you
are: someone who has always had so much to offer, and now has even
more!”
CONGRATULATIONS
to our new officers: President, Pat Reeder; 1st VP, Eileen Barnard;
2nd VP, Nancy Coley; Treasurer, Wendy Ouellette; and Secretary, Lydia Gossett. The best of everything to these ladies for their
contribution of time, etc. to the chapter for the next year.
For
those of you who didn’t attend the Rosemary West Seminar, we missed
you. We had a great time painting and visiting with Rosemary. She is
a very delightful lady and hope we can have her back soon. Thanks
again Rosemary for a wonderful project.
Please
be sure and check out our blog sight for the projects we have
scheduled so far for this year. There is a great cookie plate coming
up in November. Be sure and get registered by contacting Tirzah at
801-825-2660 and don't forget your cookies!
Don’t
forget to sign up for the Christmas party which will be at the
PRAIRIE SCHOONER Saturday, December 5th at 3:00 p.m. We need to know
how many will be attending, what you would like to eat and receive
your payment before the party. Please phone Terry (801-731-64250) or
e-mail her at (tpulver@weber.edu) by November 28th. We’ll look
forward to seeing you there.
Remember
that we would like to hear from all of you regarding what you’d be
interested in painting this year, what class you’d like to teach
and what office you would like to run for in next year’s elections.
Heads up ladies “WE NEED YOU”.
Hope
we see you soon and may God bless.
Gloria

2015 Chapter Service Project
This year the Chapter will be trying something different for our Community Service Project. Instead of bring food items (which we so often forget) for the Food Bank, we will have a donation box where people can drop in spare change or a dollar or two. You'd be surprised how quickly little bits can add up. There is a lot of need, so we hope everyone will support this effort.
Dues
Yes,
it's that time of year again. I'm sure most of you have received
notice from SDP about your national membership renewal with your last
Decorative Painters magazine. National dues need to be postmarked
before
December 1st to
avoid their $5 postage/handling fee. (Pay SDP dues directly to the
Society.)
Please
pay your local dues ($15) to the treasurer by
January 1st.
Checks can be made out to Golden Spike Decorative Painters and
mailed to the Chapter at 2825
W 5875 S, Roy, UT 84067.

Palette: JoSonja
Brilliant Green Red Violet
Carbon Black Seedlings
Gold Oxide Titanium white
Marigold Ultramarine Blue
Vermilion Naples Yellow Hue
Wild Grape Napthol Crimson
Raindrop Yellow Deep
Prep Instructions:
Seal piece. I mix sealer in with my first coat of paint. I based the whole piece in Azure mixed with the sealer 1:1. The second coat shouldn’t have any sealer in it, or the piece will feel sticky. Paint area behind the flowers Azure. Paint area behind the butterflies Raindrop.The color behind the compass rose on the top is seedlings. The trim is wild grape. The small trim is Marigold.
Purple borders:
Mix a little white into wild grape and pull a straight stroke vertically all the way around.
Glaze the piece:
When finished base coating all these areas, Use blackberry to glaze color next to any place where the colors meet. To glaze it, side load in black berry and walk the color out. You may want to use retarder medium to give yourself time to walk it out. You can take a mop brush to soften it. Then take rain drop, gold oxide and/or vermilion and dry brush some highlights here and there all over the painted areas.
Transfer design to piece.
