Ava Richey's Art News

Hi Everyone,

This coming Monday, January 3rd, we will be joining the First Monday Painters at the Port Orford Public Library for figure painting/drawing, 12- 3 p.m. Lani will be the model. Cost is $65 to be shared among the participants--the more who attend, the less cost to each individual.

Hope to see you there. My phone is 541-297-6118 if you have questions.

I would like to thank each and every artist, and appreciator of art, for making 2010 a most enjoyable year. I hope you all enjoyed the holidays, and that you have a happy and productive 2011 with lots of opportunities to learn more, and to share your work.

Sincerely,
Ava
