Everyone had so much fun painting with Roseann. The Seagals were so cute! Our May 7 th class with Nancy Walsh is the pineapple welcome sign.

I still have three of the oval wooden surfaces at $3.50 each. Please send me your signup sheets for the June 4 th Chickadee on a palette class with Alise Duerr. Everyone always enjoys Alise s classes. We will be painting with acrylic paint on paper that will be provided by Alise. Anita P., Mary Lou P., Barbara B. and Nancy W. have signed up this class. I believe everyone knows that we cancelled the Mark Menendez oil painting class on July 9 th and have substituted a colored pencil portrait class with Mark. I emailed out information about the class, which has suggestions for choosing a photo and includes the colored pencils needed for the portrait class. We have 18 signed up for the portrait class. The Sunday, July 10 th class will remain the same majestic lion done in colored pencils. We have 15 signed up for the majestic lion class so far. Both of these classes have a maximum of 24 students, so please get me your signup sheets to me soon. 1 st Vice President/Seminar Chair 2
