Excellent April Demo & "Spring Flowers" Exhibit Winners

Our April Demo with Dick Blick Rep. Kevin was a really fun time last night!  We discussed acrylic paints and acrylic mediums, pan pastels, colored graphites and a wonderful new, no-bleed paper from Crescent called "Render Paper."  Everyone had hands-on time with all the materials and we had a great Q & A session.

Also, PAL held it's first ever one-night, judged exhibit with the theme "Spring Flowers!"  We will be having these on the second Wednesday of every month during our demo meetings from now on - so we hope you're getting creative so you can bring in your new work to share and win ribbons!

This month's one-night, judged exhibit was judged by our resident photography expert, Mike Bessler.  And the winners are...Best of Theme: "Radiant Sunshine" by Freddie Harmon,  Best of Show: "Autumn Splendor" by Ron Girard,  2nd Place: "River Walk" by Debbie Hart, 3rd Place:  "Morning Mist" by Cheryl Carmen. 

Congratulations everyone!  Next month's theme will be "Holy Cow!" - and you don't have to stay within the theme to win ribbons.  We hope to see more members bringing in their work in the future!

See you next month everyone!!!
