Ava Richey's Art News

Hi Everyone,

This coming Monday is February 14th. No paintout is scheduled for this week. Enjoy the time with your honey, your friends, and/or your paints in the studio. :)

I hope as many of you as possible can make it this Friday evening to Freshwater Gallery's (Port Orford) opening for the "Figurative Aphrodite" show. Reception is 5 - 8:00 p.m.

I'd like to say farewell to a couple of the painters in our midst who have recently passed away--- Richard Yarnell from Port Orford and Spencer Billington from Coos Bay. They contributed much to our art community and we will miss them both.

Happy Painting.
Ava
