October Meeting and Paint In

It feels like it has been a very long time since we have had a meeting.  This month we will have a regular meeting and paint in.  At the November meeting we will have the Quarter Party.  I recently heard from Margaret and she is clearing out some of her wood items and this would be a great time to pick up those hard to find items at a really good cost.  Margaret will be bringing additional items to sell also.  I will post pictures at the bottom of the page.

I will be teaching a pink flamingo ornament this weekend.  I will supply the ceramic disc, paints, directions, etc.  You need to bring your brushes and Triple Thick if you have it.  The cost is a little more than I normally charge, $1.50 each.  I am attaching a photo of the ornament (the shine on the ornament looks like his neck is cut off) I did recently on a round ceramic ball I purchased from Hobby Lobby to give you an idea what we will be doing.  I felt the flat disc would be better so you could use a pattern.

I found this poem in my stash and thought you would enjoy reading it.  See you soon,
Brenda

The Painter's Psalm

Painting is my hobby, I shall want no other.

It maketh me to lay down my mop and broom,

Walk by my dirty dishes to my studio room.

It restoreth my piece of mind

And leadeth me into strange places, subjects to find.

Yea, tho I am alone with brushes and paints,

I feel no loneliness.

The sight of colors and odor of oils, they comfort me.

I prepare a canvas on my easel and paint

While my dishpan runneth over...

Surely, I have a rainbow in the gravy at dinner,

And I will dwell in a state of confusion forever.
