??? Need Tin ???

Attention Ladies,

Carol Hillier, who will be teaching "Stroke Work on tin" May 26th for the Chapter, has a number of tin pieces that she would like to sell at reasonable prices.

So if you need a piece to paint on in May or would just like some nice tin piece(s), plan on being at the Paint-in on February 25th. We will have a selection of Carol's tin there for you to look at and/or buy.

2012 February Newsletter

Hello Ladies,

Hope everyone is having a good year so far. I’m thinking sun shine. I’m ready for warm days.

We missed a lot of you at the January paint-in. Wendy did a wonderful job teaching the Valentine Plate and it turned out so cute.

Next month Eileen will be teaching a seed box. So come and join us on the 25th of February at the Westwood Clubhouse.

Please remember to bring a non-perishable food item to the paint-in. The items will be donated to a local food bank as part of our Chapter’s community service project. There is a lot of need in these hard times, so we hope everyone will support this effort.

Hope everyone is enjoying a good and healthy month. Relaxation is one key to good health, so come and join us for relaxation and fun. Let’s Paint!

Lydia

Garden Seed Box by Eileen Barnard
Teacher: Eileen Barnard

Cost: $7.50 (class fee only)
$7.00 Seed box
(Note: Eileen has a few boxes left. If you want one contact her at 801-773-7509)

Date: February 25th, 10 am

(setup and chat time 9:30-10:00)

Palette: Sonja

Tarragon (BG)*      Storm Blue
Brown Earth            Vines (BG)
Yellow Green           Provincial Beige
Espresso (BG)        Lilac (BG)
Burnt Umber            Seedlings (BG)
Warm White            Mustard Seed (BG)
Shamrock (BG)       Red Violet Primrose (BG)

*Background colors

Prep Instructions:
Base bottom of box with Shamrock. Doing one side at a time, brush on a liberal amount of JoSonja’s retarder. Then put on one coat of Vines. Take a piece of Saran/Cling wrap and lay loosely over the top. Should be wrinkled. Press down on the wrinkles with your fingers then slowly lift the wrap off and discard. This is to give an appearance of branches behind the bee’s skeps. Let this side dry before doing the next. You can use a hairdryer to speed up your drying time.

Base the top of the box with Espresso.

Apply the pattern.

You will need a good #2 round and a 10/0 or 18/0 liner. You may also want to use a small angle brush for shading.

A couple of notes:
(1) If you would prefer a bluer box, you could substitute Stillwater and Raindrop for the Tarragon and Vines. Use the darkest color first.
(2) Don’t go out and buy all of the rest of the colors (beyond basing), you are welcome to use mine. I will have all of the colors there and it only takes just a smidge of each paint to do this box. If you don’t have the basing colors, you could use DecoArt’s Hauser Dark Green and Hauser Med Green in place of the Tarragon and Vines. Use the darkest color first. You could base your lid with my Espresso during class.

Note: Eileen ordered the bee knob on the box from "myknobs.com"

The Paint-in will be held at the Westwood Village Clubhouse (1111 N. 2000 W., Farr West, UT).Take I-15 #346 and go north on 2000 W/UT-126 0.6 of mile. The Clubhouse is on the west side of the street with parking on the west side of the building.

2012 January Newsletter

Happy New Year Everyone!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and the beginnings of a great New Year.

Hello, I'm Lydia Gossett, the Chapter's new President for 2012. The rest of the board members are 1st VP - Pat Reeder, 2nd VP - Gloria Eldridge, Treasurer - Eileen Barnard, Blog - Terry Pulver, Seminar/Paint-in Coordinator - Tirzah Probasco, and Secretary - Sandy Reeder.

Since I'm new at this, I welcome suggestions for future projects and activities to add to the great list of teachers and projects we have already started for 2012. Come and join us for a fun time at the Westwood Village Club House every fourth Saturday of the month at 10 am.

Speaking of fun, the Chapter's Christmas Party was held at the Prairie Schooner. We enjoyed a delicious lunch, played a couple of games provided by Eileen, had fun stealing ornaments from others during the Ornament Exchange, and visiting with old friends. Past President Rebecca Chaffee joined us as well as Rita Johnson, and Rosina Lettre. Rosina has been busy chairing a new cook book titled "Simply Our Best II" sponsored by the group called "Top of Utah NewComers". If you're interested in a new cook book, get in touch with Rosina.

We missed those who were unable to attend and look forward to next year's party and the rest of 2012. Lets make this Chapter strong and a fun place to meet old friends and paint.

See you on January 28th for Wendy's Valentine Plate.

Lydia

2011 November Newsletter

Dear Painters:

What a beautiful time of year. I love the changing seasons and the Thanksgiving Holiday meeting with family and friends to give thanks for our many blessings. This fall was especially beautiful. The colors were some of the most brilliant I have seen. It really feeds my appetite to paint.

We are looking forward to Judy Grahams Class and it is worth the wait to paint with her. If you don’t have your tin piece please contact Tirzah as soon as possible.

This month we get a bonus because we get to get together twice to paint. Cheri Ringgers’ Class with Santa Express will be a great addition to you Christmas decorations.

The Christmas Party this year will be at the Prairie Schooner, 11:00, on December 10th. The cost is only $5.00 and the Board has some fun things planned. The entrees will be Country Fried Steak, Marinated Prairie Chicken Breast, Grilled Pork Chop or Fish and Chips. Please let me know your entree choice no later than December 1st, 801 698-0418. Hope to see you there.

Remember that we need to get our Membership Dues for next year. The price is still $15.00

Please take note of the additions to the Standing Rules. (Go to 'By-laws/Standing Rules' and look for the red Italicized additions.) We will vote on these additions at the next paint-in.

I would like to wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving.

Keep painting

!!! ATTENTION LADIES !!!

October 29th Paint-in

The tins for the October Paint-in piece 'To Grandmother's House We Go' did not arrive as promised by the supplier.

Since the Riverdale Community Center is already scheduled, we will go ahead with a paint-in, but it will be a 'bring your own project' or 'finish a project' day. We will start and 11 am and go to 4 pm.

The supplier says the tins are on the way. We will get them to you ASAP. Judy Graham has said that she is willing to re-schedule the project for November 12th, so we have arranged to have the Riverdale Community Center for that date. Contact Tirzah (801-825-2660) if you have any questions.

2011 October Newsletter

Dear Painters:

I can’t believe that it is October and the year is almost over. It is great to see the wonder colors in our canyons and foothills. The colors give you the urge to paint.

We have had some wonderful Paint-Ins and Seminars this year, the most recent with Bill Bayer was a lot of fun and I hope the members that participated enjoyed it as much as I did.

I want to thank all of the Board Members who worked so hard to make our Paint-Ins, Seminars and Socials so very successful. Also, a big thanks to all who brought raffles. Your time and effort has made our activities very enjoyable and a lot of fun.

Please take note of the changes in date, time, and location of the October Paint-in caused by the delay in getting the tins.

Our Christmas Party will be on December 10th at the Prairie Schooner Restaurant. Please let me know if you plan to attend so that we can get an accurate head count. 801 621-7564

October is National SDP Painting Month and time to pay our Chapter Dues.

Keep painting and happy Halloween.

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.

Carol Hillier, long time friend of Golden Spike, has informed the Chapter that she has a number of bentwood boxes (round and oval), wooden plates, and other assorted wood and tin pieces (a number of them used for JoSonja projects) that she would like to sell at reasonable prices.

2011 June Newsletter

Dear Painters:

Summer is almost here. It has been a long cold spring although the tulips and daffodils are so beautiful.

This month Tirzah Probasco is teaching a "Rooster on a pie tin" which is a great addition to the other Roosters she has taught. The pattern is by JoSonja Jansen.

In June Glenna Nielsen will be teaching "Uncle Sam on a Bee" by Pat Nelson. It is a fun piece for the 4th of July. If you have not ordered your wood you need to call Tirzah now so she can get it ordered.

Our Teacher for August will be Kristen Binkeland. Her project is to be determined.

This year we are having a Chapter Summer Social at Tirzah Probasco's house. It will be a Barbecue. All Members, past and present, are invited. We will do our best to contact our past Members. If you know of any past Members please let Tirzah or myself know so that we can extend an invitation to them. Tirzah has a lovely pool if you would care to take a dip or you can just renew old friendships. It promises to be a lot of fun.

I hope to see you all and the Paint-in and Summer Social.

Keep painting.

There are so many exciting things coming up.

Next month we have Tirzah teaching the "Hungarian Cockerel" on a tin pie plate. It is the second in a set. Be sure to get signed up if you have not already done so.

In June Glenna Neilson will be teaching a "Uncle Sam on a Bee" for the 4th of July.

Our July Summer Social will be held in Tirzah Probasco’s back yard. It should be great fun to renew old friendships.

We are taking sign ups for the September Seminar. Bill Bayer will be teaching an oil painting. It promises to be a very excising Seminar. He provides everything you will need except for the brushes. He has brushes you can purchase for approximately $20.00 per set. He also has a few loaner sets. All you have to do is come and paint, no prep required. Please get your $100.00 deposit in as soon as you can. This Seminar will fill up fast.

I was the lucky winner of the April Raffle. Thanks Eileen Barnard, I love it.

FALL 2011 SEMINAR ALERT !!

Your board has been very busy planning for the next few seminars for the Golden Spike painters. We talked to many teachers at the Las Vegas Convention and made some very good contacts.

Are you ready to venture. . .Down Roads. . . .Less Traveled? Good! We have a very special seminar planned for Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday September 21, 22, and 23, of 2011. Bill Bayer, from Valley Park, Missouri will be teaching his version of an old masters' canvas titled "The White Horse". See the photo as it is much more than just a horse.

He taught this canvas at the Las Vegas Convention and it is a fabulous scene and very adorable! Bill studied with Johnny Liliedahl before her death and applies the old masters' techniques in his paintings

He will provide the 20x24 inch canvas (with pattern applied), oil paints and mediums and color photo with written instructions. He also has a table easel for everyone and some loaner brushes you can barrow. No need for anyone to invest in any supplies unless you may want to purchase a few brushes. He only used five brushes for this painting.

I know a lot of you are not accustom to painting in oil, but it is very easy to convert. It is much easier for us to try oils than oil painters to try acrylics. Are you ready to paint outside the box??? Why not give it a try . . .Down Roads. . .Less Traveled.

The fee for the seminar will be $275.00 including everything and your lunch for all three days. A non refundable deposit of $100.00 will hold your seat for the seminar. Any questions please call Tirzah Probasco at 801-825-2660 or cell 801-336-7900.

SPRING 2012 SEMINAR REMINDER

We have also scheduled Heidi England to return in the spring of 2012. She will be teaching a wonderful Noah's Ark table on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday March 15, 16 and 17 of 2012. Does that sound like a long way off? We do need to get ahead of the game.

We have 14 students who have already made a "partial" down payment on their deposit for the seminar. You know who you are!!! Please reserve these dates as this is going to a very popular class. More information at a later date. Get your name to Hazel or Tirzah and save the time.

2011 March Newsletter

Dear Painters,

It was great to go and good to be back from Las Vegas. The trade floor was packed with many new items including the use of texture with stencils and paint for painting on fabric. I have a catalog on these items if anyone is interested. Also, I have information on several new patterns and books.

Tirzah and I have been busy trying to find a teacher for the Fall Seminar and made several contacts, including an Oil Painter, at the Trade Show. A decision will be announced later.

Terry’s Lilac Plate and Candle Class was a hit and everyone went home with a finished piece.

This month Gloria will be teaching a Stationary Box with an Arlene Linton Pattern. There is still time to sign up.

I will teach a Summer Fruit Tray by Shara Reiner on April 30th. We had to change the date because of the Easter Holiday.

Please remember to bring an item for the "Food Drive" to class. Watch the expiration dates as they won’t take them if they have expired. (You will get one raffle ticket for each paint‑in not one raffle ticket per food item). This is a good project so please help us.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day and keep painting.

Until next month.

Nancy

Seminar Recipes
Over the years we have had some really great food prepared by our members. In the past we have published some of the recipes on the web site. A number of ladies requested receipes from this year's menu. So we have decided to add a new page to our blog containing recipes from not only this year, but past years as well. It will take a bit to gather them all up, so check back later. If you have any requests, let me know......Terry

2011 January Newsletter

Dear Painters,

I hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday Season and is looking forward to paint in the new year.

Please join me in welcoming Eileen Barnard as our new Vice President. She is very talented and I know that she will do a great job.

I want to thank each of the Board Members for their hard work this past year and I also want to thank all of the Members for participating in the paint-ins and seminars. Without you we would not be a Chapter.

2011 is starting off great with the Heidi England Seminar. We are doing a “Gossip Bench”. It is a very unique project. Heidi is great to paint with and just a delight to be around. If you want to attend and have not signed up yet you will need to do so ASAP as we need to order the wood. Seminar date January 27th thru 29th.

The Christmas Party at Maddox was great. Good food, raffles and fun just being together. We had two looser raffles. One was a “Harvest Bowl” and Pattern” won by myself and the other was a free day to the Heidi England Seminar won by Lydia Gosset. The ornament exchange was especially nice this year. LeAnn Gosset made a wonderful Cheese Cake for desert.

We missed each of you that was unable to attend and hope you can join us next year.

Happy New Year and I hope to see you at the Heidi England Seminar.

Nancy

Beginning in January, the Chapter will be starting a Food Drive as a new Community Service Project. Members are urged to bring one or more (non-expired) canned goods item to each Paint-in they attend. In return, members will receive one free raffle ticket. There is a lot of need in these hard times, so we hope everyone will support this effort.

We had a great dinner and as special Cheese cake that Leann brought.

After dinner we had a fun ornament exchange and the loosers raffle. The “Harvest Bowl” and Pattern” was won by Nancy and a free day to the Heidi England Seminar was won by Lydia Gosset.

2010 December Newsletter

Well ladies, it is finely here. DECEMBER! More time to spend with family and friends. The weather is cold and wet so we might as well stay inside and paint.

The November paint-in went well although our time had to be made short, and I apologize for that. We had a mix-up with the schedule and the club house was booked for two different things for the same day. It all worked out in the end. I want to thank June for doing such a great job of teaching us the wonderful painting technique of Russian painting. We didn't have much time but I think most of us learned a lot. Hopefully we can get June to come back next year and we can try it again when we have more time.

Remember the Christmas party on the 11th at Maddox's restaurant in Brigham City on Hwy 89 at 11 am. The cost is $14.00. The ugly sweater contest is canceled until a later time. Also we have a couple of really nice prizes for the “looser raffle ticket” drawing, but you have to be present to WIN if your name is drawn. Hope to see you all there, we should have a great time. Also we will be having an “Ornament Exchange” at the Christmas party.

Those running for 2011 Chapter officers are:
Nancy Coley - President
Glenda Mitchell - Vice-President
Eileen Barnard - Vice-President
Lydia Gossett - Secretary
Gloria Eldridge - Treasurer
Tirzah Probasco - Seminars

Terry Pulver and Pat Reeder will be in charge of the Blog

If there is someone that you would like to nominate for an office or run yourself please call me or Pat Reeder and let us know. We need to know before the 11th of December.

I hope that we can get more members and get some of our old members back.

Hope to see all of you at the Christmas party. Have a wonderful Christmas and a safe New Year.

Glenda

Painting tip: Use a small roller to base coat your project and you will have a nice smooth surface to paint on. You can also multi color slip slap other colors on to add a cool background. Keep your roller in a zip lock bag and it will keep for a very long time.

As the class started to base in the flowers, June talked about the Russian masters and the Zhoslovo style of painting. She had samples of the style of painting for everyone to see.

The auction was a lot of fun. Everyone participated in the bidding and received a lot of beautiful items.

The floral swing box is beautiful and everyone had a great time painting it. Class ended at 1:30 due to another group waiting for the room.
