February 2006

March 2006

Hi, All,

Firstly, a well-deserved vote of appreciation to Sally Kullman, Sine McCarty, and all the volunteers for the work they put into making our Spring show and competition such a big success. There were about 130 entries, quite a few of which were by new members. This is encouraging for the future growth of KAS so “Well done!” to our newest participants – we’re so glad you’ve joined us! Our judge, Don Litzau, a very interesting and enthusiastic artist himself, made some positive comments about the standard and variety of the work on display. He gave an informative critique in the afternoon and stayed until the end of the show offering constructive advice to those who asked him to look at their work. Congratulations to those who took home ribbons but every entrant was a winner!

At our March general meeting, our demo artist, Nancy Lee, kept us so well entertained with her technique and comments, that we went well over our allotted time! Her technique is learned from workshops with Vie Dunn-Harr, who will be one of the demo artists at the LSAG Convention in May. It was a most innovative approach to backgrounds and promises to be a fascinating demo. For details of the convention, go to : http://lonestarartguild.org.

Next month’s meeting will be our annual tasting party so bring along something delicious to share. We will also be presenting the Harry Druschell scholarship to a student from North Harris County College. It’s always interesting to meet the winner and see some of their work and hear about their future plans so try and come along. Our new Board and committee will also be announced.

Any new Board or committee members are welcome to attend the next Board meeting on Monday, April 10 th, at 10:00am. The venue will be at my home, 18 Greenway View Trail, Kingwood. Hope to see you there.

Your Prez,
Linda Hamilton.
