Eclectic Paintings

Our group meet this week with the eternal hope of spring and warm temps. IT is spring but the temps are not cooperating. How are we going to paint outside with 30 mile/hr winds and 50 degree temps?

We are not....but we have this great place to paint so we need to be grateful for that.

This week the paintings are very eclectic with color and creativity.

I am adding the information for our Art Show at the end of this blog post...so be sure to scroll all the

way to the bottom. Also bring in the art work this week,you want to put into the show.

color choice as well as composition. Great job Rita!

Lots of beautiful colors. Beautiful Rita!

choice is luscious and the interesting composition is delightful! Fabulous, Gail!

are varied and interesting. Beautiful, Carol!

in the cornfield. Beautiful, Gloria!

and the color combinations are very interesting.  Great Job, Michelle!

off the page makes for high interest. Fabulous, Sheila!

ART SHOW AND RECEPTION INFO

Hanging date is THURSDAY, MAY 2ND AT 9AM

It takes about 2 house. If you want to help it would be great.

1. Paintings must be framed or edge painted and have wire or sawtooth hook so we can hang them.

    Depending on the size we 25-30 paintings ( my suggestion is 2 painting each artist)

List all art work on the sheet for each artist. Leave at desk with Tracy by April 25th and she will give to Necia so wall tags can be done.

3. You will need to write a bio of yourself. A little about you and how you got into painting etc. Necia will call you the week before and ask you some questions and write it up for you if you find it a problem to do. It needs to fit a 8 X 11 piece of paper.

4.Because of cost to me (Necia) for cards and ink, making copies etc. I am asking each artist to give me $2.00 to help with my cost. I do all of this at home on m computer and it is beginning to run up in cost. I hate to ask but must.
