 2022 February Newsletter

Happy Valentine's Everyone

Hard to believe that February is already here!

I want to thank everyone who came to the January Paint-in. It was a fun class, everyone went home with finished pieces, and Nancy did a great job. Hard to believe that was the first time she had ever taught. Way to go Nancy!!!

February 26^th Rachael Bush will be introducing Alcohol and Ink to most of us. Rachael teaches this media for Weber Sate Continuing Education. We are very lucky she agreed to come to the Chapter, so I hope we will see many of our members there. Check out the newsletter to see examples of her work.

In March Terry will be teaching Mudded Eggs. Linda Sharp taught us this technique at a seminar in September of 2018. For some of us it will be a good review. For others, a new style of painting.

In April we will have the long awaited and anticipated seminar with Carol Spohn. There is a limit of 20 students and we already have a number of people signed up, so if you want to attend, I urge you to send your deposit. Check the newsletter for more information.
