2019 February Newsletter
Hello Everyone,

Brrrrrr! Is it ever going to warm up? I hope everyone is doing well in spite of the cold.

The class with Juanita Denton was a very good one. Everyone enjoyed painting with her and loved their pieces.

In February Cheri Ringger will be teaching a floral on a plate or surface of the painter's choice. Tirzah ordered plates if you need one. The floral patters are so pretty I can't make up my mind which one to paint.

Our first seminar of 2019 will ve held in April and it's an oil painting titles “Great Oak”. The teacher is Bill Bayer. See the newsletter for more details. Cone join us, Bill is a good teacher and you”ll enjoy his class, even if you don't think you can paint with oils.

I hope to see you there.

Take care,

Lydia

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.
