information, or other art events to post in this newsletter, please send it to yarnfarm@frontier.com


Hello Everyone,

Monday, November 19th paintout is cancelled due to weather and the holiday week.   
 
If you have ideas for upcoming paintouts or paint-ins, let me know.
 
We would like to start having a clothed model figure drawing/painting session held at Art by the Sea Gallery one Monday each month.  If you or someone you know would like to model, please give me a call. 
 
We will do it like the Port Orford sessions where the artists who show up share the cost of the model and the room rent.
 
My phone number is 541-297-6118 if you have questions.
Thanks.
Ava
