October Meeting!
REMINDER!!!!! October 27th is our next PWS meeting at The CHTAC!
This is the LAST meeting for the year.
We will be having our annual POT-LUCK dinner from 5pm to whenever. This is a CLOSED get-together, for PWS members and their families/guests.
IF you are coming, please use the CONTACT form above or email me directly what you will be bringing. I want to try to avoid 20 of the same dish.
PLEASE bring what you plan on drinking too! I will have some soda's and water, of course.
We will be having an INFORMAL showing of all the challenges for the year (Listed below). If you did any of them, or all of them, feel free to bring them to show. We won't be able to offer any monetary incentives, but you will have the adoration and unending respect from your fellow artists for taking the risk to do the challenges! That has to be worth SOMETHING!!!
Lastly, even if you didn't attend ANY of the meetings for 2013, please come to this one meeting and meet some of the other wonderfully talented artists in the community. The Peninsula Watermedia Society is about water-based art, and more importantly about YOU, the individual who takes the media and makes it magical. It is because of you that I started this society. Quite selfishly I wanted to be in the company of other artists. To learn from them, be inspired by them, and to get to know them! Now, going into our FOURTH year I look forward to new associations, continued growth, and a lot more art being produced. Please join us if you haven't attended before. If you haven't been to a meeting in a while, come on back! I'll see the rest of you on the 27th! Oh, did I mention we have some fabulous cooks in this group too?

September Meeting 2013- Jan Ledbetter's Talk
For those of you who attended the talk given by Jan you came away with a list of 32 things to do that if applied to your paintings increase the likelyhood you will have an award winning piece of art. Of course, we all know there are no guarantees, no "sure fire" method, trick or technique that will always insure you get an award, but Jan's recommendations have been gleaned from YEARS of award winning experience. You can argue about the individual suggestions themselves, but you cannot argue with the track record of her success! This list, is graciously and generously being allowed to be presented here on the PWS website for our members. It's the distillation of her experience, time, and creativity. Like any tool, it's useless, unless USED! Click HERE to download the PDF list from Jan. If you have problems, let me know. You have to have a PDF reader to open the document. Most modern computers have it built in, or if you are using Windows, you can download Adobe Reader from www.adobe.com.
