Ava Richey's Art News

Hi Everyone,

This coming Monday, January 31, 2011, the Monday Plein Air Painters will meet at Whistling Gallery from 12 - 3 p.m. Maybe it will be nice enough to paint outdoors. :) If not we will be warm and cozy in the gallery.
Whistling Gallery is located in Laurel Grove south of Bandon on Hwy 101. 541-404-7336 is their phone number.

Please bring your lunch and a beverage if you would like to eat.
Hope to see you there.
Ava
