Hope you have a great
July 4 holiday.
We are coming to the close of our 2008-09 chapter year. One thing we've learned this year is that we love to talk to each other about art, and share our combined knowledge.
Don't miss our last meeting before fall. "Backgrounds" was chosen as the #1 topic out of a list of 18 suggestions that came from a survey we filled out at the May meeting.
This probably means we've all been in the boat where we have a subject or reference photo we want to paint, but you can tell that the background just isn't going to work. What do you do??
At the July meeting we will bring ideas, bad examples, good examples, questions, answers, and just have a great time discussing what can be a frustrating part of creating art. See you then!

President, CPSA DC201
