Ava Richey's Art News

Hello Everyone,

This coming Monday, March 7, 2011 we will join the Port Orford First Monday Painters for figure drawing/painting from 12 - 3 p.m. at the Port Orford Public Library.

The cost is $65 to be shared by the painters, so the more participants the less the cost each. It's usually around $5 per person.

Artists who participated in Freshwater Gallery's February show can pick up your artwork anytime at the gallery Tuesday - Sunday 10 a.m. - 5 p.m., or we can come by the gallery after Monday paintout and pick them up.

Hope to see you there. My cell phone number is 541-297-6118.
Ava
