In the past few months, we have welcomed new members, Jan Barrett from Smithland, Darlene Stephens from Gilbertsville, and Megan Larson from Paducah. Jan and Darlene, jumped right in entered the new show, and their work is selling! Megan has plans to enter the next show. Hope you have the opportunity to get to know these artists and encourage them in their journey. We are so blessed to have this wonderful place to show and sell our art!
Something we may need to reinforce with our new members, is the opportunity to replace the work, after one is sold. If you wish to hang the painting, go for it, of leave it at the desk, and I will complete the task.
Time for our regular meeting, May 31st at 7:00. Diane Bay will have our program on Plein Air Painting. Her paintings and experiences from different locations are so amazing!
The Challenge is “Animal”, idea by Mark Cope. Next month’s Challenge is “Beach Vacation, idea by Joanie Lampley-Sims.
Speaking of Challenges, hope you have enjoyed Suzanne’s Challenges, in the art of quilting. The expertise and creativity she shows is fantastic, and has been so enjoyed by our guests. Thanks, Suzanne for sharing your gifts.

Enjoy Memorial Day! As you celebrate, think of those that gave their lives, that we might enjoy freedom! Thanks, for all you do for PAPA.
