ACDA
Julia will be teaching an ear of corn rolling pin at the next ACDA meeting on 16 May at 10 am. She will provide paint, pattern, instructions, and photo. You will need to bring your regular painting supplies and a surface to paint on. Cost will be $10 per person. Rolling pins can be purchased at Winn Dixie or Walmart or bring a surface of choice. If you don't want to ride by yourself, check with other members and share a ride.

Ladies, our next meeting will be Saturday, 2 May at 10 am. Jeanette will teach a floral design on a photo album. Bring your regular painting supplies, (to include several small flats or angle brushes and a rake or comb brush). Jeanette will furnish paints, pattern, photo, and album. Lunch will be pot luck. See you there.

With great sadness...

Vicki and Julia August 2008

One of our members, Vicki Saeger, passed away yesterday. Vicki had only been with us a short time before finding out she had Lou Gherigs disease. But she came to the meetings and the seminars as often as she could. One of her great loves was painting Santas, which she had her own vision as to what they should look like and she was not persuaded to paint any differently. Even her Artist Trading Card had a Santa painted on it. We are going to miss her.

A great class.....

Our class with Jill MacFarland was great. We painted angels and mermaids and everyone was so happy with their pieces. We talked as much as we painted and we laughed even more. We seem to have a very happy chapter. Jill was wonderful and we all learned a few new techniques. I posted my mermaid and several of my net friends said that Jill's mermaid looked more innocent than mine. As I posted on my blog, it was hard to paint mine any different with the rap song "I like big butts" running through my head. So mine has an ample fanny but that's OK, I like her anyway. Now I am off to work on finishing my angel. Hope to see some of you at the Mary Wiseman seminar in Mobile.
