Ava Richey's Art News

Hi Everyone,

This coming Monday, May 2nd, we will be painting with the Port Orford group at the Port Orford Public Library from 12- 3 p.m.

Georganne isn't sure if there will be a model yet, so we are playing it by ear. If there is, the fee is $65 to be shared by the painters. If not, we can take turns sitting for each other, then there will not be a fee.

Hope to see you there. If anyone wants to car pool or caravan from Bandon, meet me at the north end of Ray's parking lot, by Bree's, at 11:15 a.m. Please let me know if you want to carpool or caravan so I don't leave without you. :)

Thanks. Happy painting. My phone is 541-347-4643 or cell is 541-297-6118.
Ava
