How To Make a Colored Pencil Storage Carousel (Tutorial)

Having fun at Retreat!!

As most of you know some of our members attended the Wiregrass Decorative Painters Retreat last month.  Of course, we had a great time painting with these lovely ladies but we also had some down time to just enjoy being together.  What better time is spent than trying to reverse the aging process - hence - these great photos.

Debbie making sure the pad is on right.

I must say they all looked ten years younger after removing those wonderful eye pads brought by Janice Smith.  Who would have thunk it???  See what you missed!!  Unfortunately, Sue and I spent our time painting so we still look the same.

I have been busy selling books and will have another check for the club this month.  I want to thank those who donated the books, Jane Toman, Margaret, Joan, Pat Hutchins, Sherry and I am sure there were more but I didn't write it down, I apologize but I do appreciate it.  I am taking a break from posting the books for a few weeks.  I have a niece coming in for a visit so I have to clean up the extra bedroom.  Also, Jane Toman donated some wood pieces which we set out for the taking and asked for donations from those who are going to paint wonderful things on those surfaces.  I don't remember what we made but Diane will give a report at the meeting.  It will be nice to see some of the paintings you are doing.  See you Saturday.

April's Meeting Paint In with Jacky

For April’s Meeting/Paint In  - I picked from one of Ros Stallcup books for the class.   The surface can be on anything you want.  I painted mine on a clay pot.  The size of your clay pot is up to you.  Medium to large is what I painted on.  Bring your painting supplies, if you think you want to do the clay pot you will need to seal your pot with Multi-Purpose sealer.

I painted a couple of things, the main picture that I chose is in Gran’s Painting Place, the picture is on page 29.
