SSSSSSHHHH! Please remember to be quiet and not talk during our demonstrations and critiques. Talking is so very distracting to our guests! Thank you!!
MAY PROGRAM: Jackie McFarland gave us a fine critique. She had excellent suggestions for us to improve our paintings.
JUNE PROGRAM: Our “program” will be a “White Elephant” sale! Please bring your art supplies that you aren’t using any more and you can trade, sell, or give them away to someone who can use them! It is always amazing to see what people bring in, and in the past we have had magazines, art easels, mat board, paints, brushes, old frames, and even a set of desk lamps!

Class is an aura of self confidence without being cocky. Class has nothing to do with money. Class never runs scared. It is a self discipline and self knowledge. It’s the sure footedness that comes with having proved you can meet life.
