Life/figure drawing

This is Rowena;
Please respond to the following;
                                                I am trying to get a life/figure drawing, regular session of say 6 weeks happening. Then we could extend it if we want to. Sarah Eastick is willing to teach starting in March. She is a great instructor. I took her course through the college this winter, and I was impressed. Barry and Laurie were there too. We would need to hire a model, or take turns modeling. It could all be quite economically feasible, if we have enough interest. So please let me know, yes, no or maybe!!!

Dear PMP's!!
With the dates of our show set we now need to paint our little hearts out!! Those of you who have individual shows will be burning the midnight oil! :}
It is probably good to aim to have a minimum of 3 pieces each. We will have an awesome show!!

This show begins right after Doug Swinton and before Liz Wiltzen so forewarned is.....

We can paint all day Tuesdays, so now is when!! After all, we should have ordered our seeds by now so spring cannot be far around the corner.

I will send Laila this list of those of us who have applied and it will be in her hands to herd the cats that are PMP!!

Pynelgos 2012 Show

Hi Painters,

I spoke with Jami today and have some news about the PMP show. Jami complimented the group on the quality of our application. Thanks Victoria!

She asked if I would mind running some items by the PMPs. First of all, it looks like the last 2 weeks of May is the proposed time of our show. That includes the May long weekend, and the restaurant is open. Also, she thinks we can reserve these 2 weeks of May year over year.

Also, she said the jury noticed that several PMPs have also applied for their own show. It was pointed out that if a painter uses the same pieces for both shows, it appears that the painter has a four-week show with the same art. She is tasked with coming up with a solution and is suggesting that painters who show in both the PMP show and their own show use different pieces for each show.

I am fine with both of the above. Maybe we could get everyone's comments at painting on Tuesday? Or post them on the blog here.

Thanks! Laila

On a good note!!

We will be able to stay all day on Tuesdays. Gwen is surveying PMP to see how to best use our painting dates.
If you have a wish or comment please let her or me know.

Come Paint With Me

Hello my PMP artist friends.  I fractured my leg in the Anza Borrego Desert while biking in Blair Canyon.  I can't go to the Tuesday morning painting as I have an external fixator on my lower leg with screws and pins exposed. I would love it if you would give me a call at 250-346-3223  and come paint with me.  I'll make you a cup of tea and a sandwich!  I live on an acreage at 3774 Hwy 95.  The road is sanded.  I have beautiful view of the Columbia Wetlands and the Mountains to the West. Happy painting!

Dear PMP
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!!

Application for 2012 PMP Pynelogs Show

Hi Painters,

We had a great workshop with Jami at Pynelogs today. Thanks to those of you who attended. I think it was a good turnout and we got lots of really helpful information.

The Pynelogs call out to artists has been sent and our group application needs to be done by mid January. If you are planning to be in the 2012 Pynelogs show, please identify yourself by responding to this post.

If you are planning to be in the show, please be prepared to have ready -- at least one week before the mid January deadline -- the following information:

• your CV, Bio and Artist Statement


• at least one good quality image of your work

We should all have fairly up to date information from our fall show so hopefully it won't be too onerous.

I volunteered to try to get a better show date but organizing the group application by myself is a bit more than I wanted. But I'm happy to do a bit of coordinating and to submit the application with whatever info folks have provided. If someone wants to help, that would be great. I'm away from Dec 9 to 25.

At this point, please post here if you want to be in the show and we will go forward from there.

Laila

December 7 Workshop at Pynelogs

Hi all.  Just a reminder that our workshop on improving your portfolio is on December 7 at 1 p.m.  Looking forward to seeing you there.

Laila

Dear Painters!!
Merry holidays!
I think that the 'key' people should decide when the Tuesday sessions will be closed for holidays so that we may let everyone know.
I do not have a car right now but I hope to see you there next week.
Paint on!!

RE The Tour of The arts and PMP

I received this letter from Lynda Tutty on Wednesday and it needs a response by Tuesday.  If any members are interested in being in the Tour as a group the first planning meeting is on Tuesday.  Please read the letter and let me know of any interest so that I can respond to Lynda.  Sherry if I have missed anyone who has paid since the last list I have please send it on to them.  I am in Calgary and will be back probably on Monday.  Thanks, Sandra B


The Letter from Lynda


Hi Sandra –
I sent a letter to you regarding the Tour committee’s review of the PMP participation in the 2011 Tour and an invitation to participate in the 2012 Tour. I have not heard from you so I’m checking that you received the letter. I attached a copy to this message – just in case!

The committee would like to hear from the PMP as to whether they intend to participate in the Tour under the guidelines outlined in that letter -  and if a PMP member would like to attend our committee meetings. Our next meeting, as stated in the letter, is Tuesday, December 6, 1:00pm at Pynelogs.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards - Lynda
