Soft Hydrangeas

Our August meeting was quick but informative meeting, I can also say relaxing as we sat and enjoyed coffee and all the home made sandwiches and lots of goodies that our members go to the trouble of preparing each meeting for our lunch together. Thank you ladies!

Roberta's workshop was great, we painted with fingers, water, paint, cloths and somewhere in there we had a brush in our hand. The results were stunning, everyone painted and each of the painting were as varied as our personalities. Thanks Roberta.

October No Frills

Take a look at our convention pieces for our 'Lotsa Latte' meaning we drink lots of coffee while painting, well we seem to do but I see a lot of half mugs of cold coffee hanging around somtimes, or we have used the coffee cup instead of our water to clean our brushes.
