Join the paint around
The next meeting is upon us, this Saturday, June 1. For this meeting we’ll have a paint around or multiple paint-arounds, depending on how many want to participate. Remember last September when we had 4 members in a paint-around? Basically the painters within each group paint 15 minutes then rotate to the next painting like musical chairs. This time we can have more 4-member paint-arounds going on at the same time. If you would like to participate, bring your pastels, a support and pastel paper. The reference pictures will be provided. The groups will be decided then.
We anticipate this will be a fun, no pressure, anything goes event, not to worry about producing a masterpiece. Those who don’t want to paint can observe and I expect there will be a lot to watch. It’s about the group activity of painting together, not necessarily about the outcome.
Also this Saturday we will accept nominations and vote on the new board. We need a new treasurer. Jackie has the treasury very well organized to ease one into the position. And we need a new recording secretary. Please consider either of these positions. Our organization cannot function without them.
And finally we’ll have our garage sale. Bring any art related (or craft supplies) you’d like to sell or give away. Please have them priced with your name displayed.

Dutton plein air day
We were pretty lucky with the weather for our Dutton Island paint out, and Dutton is a wonderful place with lots of water and sky and salt marshes. Yet almost no one showed up! I know I was sick with a bad cold and couldn't face that long drive, but where were others?
Of course the night before was our juried show opening reception, and maybe many people were tired out from that long evening and were not up to getting up early in the morning to paint.
So Tish, Kim, and Carron were the only stalwart three who showed up to paint. But it does look like they had a nice morning to share with one another.
And each had fun painting something during the morning. Thank you Carron for sending me these photos of the day,

Juried show - the rest of the entries
Here are all the other paintings in our show. As usual there are some issues trying to photograph paintings under glass, although this year the lighting was rather flat so it wasn't as hard to photograph as it often is! But I do like to show the paintings as they are hung because I find the framing to be interesting too, and a great part of the overall feel of the painting. So enjoy these, and as usual you must go see the show in person to see them in their best light.
