                                  going to attend if you can't make the meeting.

                                      We'll have a Chinese auction

          

                REVIEW: Maxine uses Canson 1059 paper ( replaces morillo paper.) She 

                wet both sides, applied cool color to it, turned it overand applied warm 

                color to that side. After several reversals of the paper, a side was 

                picked and was developed by lifting, splattering, and negative painting 

                work. Interesting!


                CLUB NOTES:

                Ann Hanscom had a painting accepted in the Colorado Watercolor

                            Society's show at Botanic Gardens.

                 LaVeryn  Talmage sold a work at Boettcher

                 Dorothy Petet sold two painitngs at Montview Presbyterian

                 Zana & Ardath each sold a painting at Glenwood Springs


                WEB PAGE:     daagonline.com   Your Board would like to have a 

                wider representation of our artists on this site.  It would sure help

                our Exhibition Chairwomen - Eleanor Hargrove. As she contacts new

                venues for our displays. Said venues often want slides. If Eleanor

                can refer them to our web site - that would eliminate the need for 

                slides. While unframed and non-shrink wrapped works are 

                preferred, Joyce is going to allow us to bring framed works. We must

                still call her prior to the meeting at which are are bringing  our works.

                  The sense of style is in all sincere work, simply because it is sincere.

                  Temperment, constitution, and understanding being different in any 

                   two people, their report of the simplest incident will never be the 

                   same, yet each will be trurh, provided the artist limits himself to the 

                   truth as he sees it and understands it.      Konstantin Stanislavsky
