Paula Craven and Dodie Marcil re Headwaters Art Show

Hello Victoria,

You may have already heard about the new art group forming in Canal Flats.  The Head Waters Arts Society.  We are planning an Art Exhibition and Sale for Saturday Nov 26 at the Canal Flats Community Hall from 11:00am until 3:00pm. 
As of now we have about 14 – 19 artists going to display/sell at the show.  Painters, photographers, carving, sketching, drum making etc. 

We have room for 4-5 more artists and would like to extend an invitation to the Purcell Mountain painters.  If anyone in the group is interested in attending the exhibition and sale please let me know. 

Here are the details.....
Saturday Nov 26, 11:00am to 3:00am
Canal Flats Community Hall
3x8 size tables available to display
Sales will be on an individual basis between the artist and buyer.  Artists are responsible for their own sales/transactions.
Refreshments available (coffee & tea)
No entry fee/cost to artists


This will be an exciting opportunity for local artists to meet and show their talent to others.

Please pass this invitation to everyone at the Purcell Mountain painters.  They can contact Dodie Marcil or Paula Craven for more information or if there are any questions.  pdmarcil@shaw.ca and pkcravens@gmail.com (Please note Paulas email has been corrected

Please reply to Dodie or Paula directly not at this blogspot.

Please you authors blog a little.

Victoria wants a workshop with Doug Swinton and also one with Liz Wiltzen in the spring if you are interested in these please click on the Doug Swinton tab just north of this blog.
Barry is working on a three fold brochure and would like anyone with an old copy of our old one to contact him or bring it to painting on Tuesday.
Please subscribe by email to this blog. Just enter your gmail email in the box just right of this blog where it says  Follow by Email and you will be sent an email alert when this blog is up dated. Wolfgang has already entered his.
I see Wolfgang that you have started a blog do you need help with it? Painting Nature is a good title.
Rowena you may want to up date your gmail account so that your name is published when you blog instead of unknown and Wolfgang you might like to update  yours too so that your name appears like ours.

You will see that I added some tabs above this blog where if you move your mouse over they will highlight and if you click on them you will be taken to another page where we will keep important even news so that you can see what is going on and sign up if you want too.  To get back to the blog simply hit Home.
See that wasn't too hard. I just wish that you folks had been the bloggers not me so that you could say what you want not what I wrote. LOL in my book that means Lots of Love Sandra. Check out my new blog Laughoutloudorlol.blogspot.com Sandra

Here is the link to Robert Genn's web site where you can sign up for his twice a week news letter about all things art.  I  will also add it to our favorite links   .Robert Genn .

New day new look.

I am hoping that you continue to look here for new posts on a regular basis to get familiar with checking here. I have removed some of your blogs so we don't have to wade through stuff. We have 8  no just in 9  members so far. This is good! If you haven't received an invitation I will send it again and hope that it works. In bloggers "known issues" it says that invites to certain Internet providers don't let this type of invite through. They suggest that you not click on the link but copy it and paste it into your browser. Does that sound like Greek to you I will show you. Your browser is the address bar at the top of your screen the part were you enter www. etc.  Also the invite may have gone to your spam or junk mail check there. Another thing that "known issues" said it that the link would only work once so if you tried it and it didn't work the best would probably be to open a gmail account and then phone me with that address and I will send another email invite. I hope you will persevere so that we soon get all connected. PS Sandra B said that the black background colour was hard to read. I will be experimenting with colours so check back.

Invite to be a contributor.

Please reply to your invite to be a contributor to this site, which you should have recieved in your email box. I just invited all on our PMP 2011-2012 membership list. Since all our information will be in one spot now we should get less emails and we will just check here. Please stick to PMP business when you post after your inital try. I will help you make a blog spot of your own if you want to ..... . It's fun believe me...

One more post today.

I have been working on the layout of the blogspot this morning. It seems now that as more contributors are added the picture profile is not showing. I have reseached this and that is how it is so don't fuss trying to get your pic here. If you have already created a profile picture for your gmail account no harm done. I am also learning as we go along. In my research I also learned that we can have over 100 contributors so no worries there. I guess some were able to sign in the first time with other than gmail accounts but will have to create a gmail account if you want to continue to view this site once we close it up.

Ok Girls and Boys

Ok Girls and Boys

It's time to figure out how this works.

Would you like to write a blog here to show us what you are up to. I know that Sherry has some new work and Bill and Mary as well. After the Weekend with Doug Swinton June 25 26 and 27 we all should be fired up. Me well I just blew up and couldn't paint for a few days after. It happens. Hope I have enough work for the first of August and the Tour on the Arts.

In The beginning.

This is the beginning of the Purcell Mountain Painters Blogspot. I am hoping that we all will feel like adding photos of our new and existing paintings and that you will add your own blogs and comments. This will be an open site that all Purcell Painters will be able to access and add to.
