Art Happenings By Ava Richey





Art Information follows this announcement.  If any of you have art show
information, or other art events to post in this newsletter, please send it to
yarnfarm@frontier.com



This week’s painting day is planned by Arlene Tinsley.  She is a founding member.  She has chosen ‘painting food’ as this week’s theme.  Hope you can join her Monday.  If the theme doesn’t interest you, bring your own paint resource.

This coming Monday, February 4, 2013 the Bandon Monday Painters will meet at Brewed Awakenings restaurant from 12 noon – 3 p.m. 

It is located at the corner of Hwy 101 and Delaware , across the street from the Shell Station in Old Town .    

Just to let the Bandon Monday painters know….After all these years, I have decided to hand over the planning of the weekly paintouts to you who join in the Monday paintouts and paint-ins.  I have to pare down my commitments this year, so I’m starting here.

If you want to work out some kind of schedule where you each plan the paintout for a week or month, or maybe you don’t want to continue the painting group.

If you get together and decide to go forward with it, just send the meeting information to me no later than Wednesday of each week as to when and where the paintout/in will be and I will put it in the newsletter.

All of this has been a lot of fun, and I have enjoyed painting with you all on Mondays.  I hope to be able to attend once in a while, if you decide to continue with it.

My phone number is 541-297-6118 if you have questions.
Thanks. 
Ava
