February - March 2015 - The Kawartha Guild of Folk Painters
To encourage and promote the practice and knowledge of decorative painting. To promote a forum for painters to meet and exchange ideas. To enrich our painting experiences through programs, seminars and demonstrations. NEWSLETTER Lori’s Link February/March 2015 Dear Ladies, I would like to start this by thanking the entire executive that runs this organization so smoothly. It doesn't get noticed more than when things go awry. Everyone chipped in when Nicki couldn't teach because of illness and I could not attend for same reason. Please take a moment to tell your executive when you are pleased with their efforts. For those of you that already had your prep work for Nicki's class don't despair. She will be teaching it at the May 11th meeting. A great big thank you also goes to Helen Belsey and her son for donating one tile for each of us. Deco art has discontinued 30 paints and have published a mixing chart for them. The link can be found on our website for your use. I hope these cold winter months have found you all inspired to paint. If you have run out of projects, memory boxes are always needed and are so appreciated by the recipients. For anyone that hasn't painted one yet, there is an idea book with patterns in the library. The Coast to Coast convention is coming up. We need a volunteer to plan a bus trip if there is enough interest. It is always a pleasant outing with lots of time to visit and share on the ride.
