Dear PMP,
there has been some confusion about the dates for our show in Kimberley. I think that we are fortunate to be in their calendar and hope that a large number of us will participate.
It will give us an opportunity to show work that may be going around again....still only pick your best. We will attempt to earn an annual event in Kimberley.
The dates have just been Sandra Howardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07622036663260315707noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5747651635909679816.post-719465512290916202012-08-31T10:49:00.001-07:002012-08-31T10:49:34.364-07:00Gamblin Painting Mediums for your information.
For your information. Now that these mediums are available. Daves I looked them up and here is a video that may help you choose. There are other videos at Gamblin you might be interested in. I particularly liked the information on "Oiling Out"

I had coffee with a friend who has a great deal more experience paiting than most of us. She gave me some advice and it hit home.(when the student is ready the teacher will appear ).
She opined that I am spending a lot more time trying to sell my and others' work, than painting.
In art school she learned that, if we paint to sell we might fail to evolve as we Victoria Phttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16561911486147842518noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5747651635909679816.post-3584890877812918182012-06-22T06:16:00.001-07:002012-06-22T06:16:41.860-07:00OUTDOOR RADIUM SHOWITS NOT TOO LATE TO REGISTER FOR the "Outdoor Radium Show" at Village Country Inn.

Thanks, Sandra, for that post and for getting the ball rolling on talking about what improvements we might want to look at for the next show. I agree that it was awkward and frustrating for a few of us at Pynelogs yesterday morning trying to sort out the confusion and get the paintings removed.
After being the liaison this year, I have a few suggestions for Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10961971274921210861noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5747651635909679816.post-34580059804392548812012-05-28T13:37:00.002-07:002012-05-28T13:37:50.665-07:00Pynelogs PMPGallery Show
Our show at Pynelogs was a success. Some of us sold work and the exposure to the gallery audience is always a plus. There was some excellent work and I think that all are showing their best work. That was the good part. Now for the bad part.
Not all of our members lived up to their obligations to the gallery. It is unfortunate that some didn't as it puts a black mark on us allSandra Howardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07622036663260315707noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5747651635909679816.post-16280553585574753672012-05-08T13:47:00.002-07:002012-05-08T13:47:31.277-07:00Watercolour workshop opportunity!

I am helping Laila get out group bio and application into Pynelogs for A Show of Our Own.
I would like an image from each of you who wants to be involved.
This is NOT the Tour.
We are bucking for a better timeslot and I need to know which of you wishes to be in again. I think that this has become our signature event so join us....all I need is an image and confirmation!!
