Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes,
Art is knowing which ones to keep

I know that everyone had a great time painting with pencils with Pat Lentine this month. Wasn't it fun and very interesting. Who would have thought you could layer one color over another to achieve such pretty paintings? If you enjoyed the class be sure to sign up for the Nilda Rodriquez pencil seminar in June. Linda will have the project pictures at the next meeting so you still have time to sign up.

Thanks to all who stayed and helped clean up the room after the seminar. Barbara, our Chapter Historian, took a few pictures of the classes for you to enjoy. As I told you earlier, I have been unable to retrieve my email from Outlook Express since my computer crashed. My new Windows 7 does not allow access to Outlook Express - so please help by emailing this update to any member you may have an email address to. I will be posting later today the projects for the next meeting.

R.I.P.

My computer has died - and it was so young. I purchased it only two years ago - a Hewlett Packard. Needless to say, I am very sad because I have my entire list of email contacts and all the important emails saved in folders which I no longer have access to. I have purchased a new Dell but the Windows 7 does not have Outlook Express any longer and that was my primary email. So, I cannot access the converted list of pencils or the pictures for this weekend's class. I hope everyone received their list prior to the computer's demise. This weekend we will host Pat Lentine. The class will start at 9 am, please remember to bring a dish for lunch. I was able to find all the pencils for the class and the paper. The best place to purchase these items was at Lenox Bookstore across from Pensacola State College. They had everything I needed and their prices were actually better than Michael's or Hobby Lobby. If you have any questions about the class, contact Linda. I cannot forward the blog to anyone until I figure out how to get my contact list. In the meantime I hope if you are reading this you will forward to anyone in the club that you have an email address with. See you tomorrow,
