Updated CAG web site

I have added links to a map and directions to the OSU extension office on our home page. This should help folks find the meetings.

The monthly inspiration photo is posted on the "Calls to Artists" page with a link back to this blog and instructions for posting.

If anyone has information that should be posted, please e-mail me. I am trying to keep it more current. Thanks to all for the hard work in keeping our guild going and cultivating art opportunities in the community.

Hi, Just sharing a picture I worked on while painting with my sister and sister in law. My sister painted a hawk...and a fine job she did, and my sister in law painted a beach scene that turned out fine. Acrylics are new to them and I was helping them with the technique.

Lee asked if I would post the photo for February. So, here it is, a photo I took in Patzcuaro, Mexico. Have fun!

Secret Flower Garden

Jennifer Hansen and I have joined together for a show of artwork at the Houlton Bakery in St. Helens. She is a glass mosaic artist in the area and I have several of my floral paintings there. The work will hang until the end of February.

Playing Catch up...

I ran out of time so I painted this little ACEO as a substitute. I didn't like the layout so I moved the book and replaced the glasses with an apple. I have a 9x12 in progress (just flowers and part of the vase) but will not be able to finish by tomorrow.







Talk about late...

another ACEO that came out of Subject to Inspiration 1 photo. This one survived, several others have suffered an encounter with the shredder.
