This month there will be NO 3rd Tuesday program.  Instead we will have a Saturday Paint Out, October 29th.

We'll want to take advantage of the possibility to paint outside one last time before bad weather hits.  Hopefully, the weather on the 29th will co-operate!

Details:

Paint Out - October 29th,  Prophetstown State Park, http://www.in.gov/dnr/parklake/2971.htm

Time - Meet at Tapawingo Park, https://www.westlafayette.in.gov/egov/apps/locations/facilities.egov?view=detail&id=15, at 8:30am in the parking lot to car pool.

Or - we will meet you at the entry to Prophetstown about 8:50.  There is an $8 entry fee per car, so car pooling will save $.

Painting Venue - there are several places to paint, the farm, the prairies, you just drive around and see what "grabs" you.

Lunch - Bring a sack lunch and we can meet up at 11:30 or 12:00 to show and share.

Meet at the Meadow View Family Picnic Area. Map:  http://www.in.gov/dnr/parklake/files/prophetstown_trail.pdf

Invite a friend to join you! You don't have to be a member to come!

This month at Sylvias:

Juried Show - you can pick up your paintings at 3:30, Wednesday, October 19th.  It has been a wonderful exhibit.  The People's Choice award will be tabulated at the end of the exhibit.  The artist will be notified of their award and an e-mail sent to the membership. 

At the same time, you may bring a painting to be hung at Sylvias during the holiday season until January.  Be sure to attach a paper on the back of your painting with your name, title, medium and price.  Make sure no saw tooth hangers, wire hangers please.  Remember paintings cannot be removed off the wall until January.  If they are purchased, the artist will be notified and can replace it with another painting. 

​Heads Up for November Meeting!​

​​Terry Lacey will give a hands on demo for creating paper - check out his website!

Painting Cuba! Program

Our Painting Cuba! program tonight at the Art Museum was amazing. Kathryn and Howie Clark presented a power point from their February trip to Cuba where Kathryn painted and Howie played his banjo. Howie kicked off the evening by playing "I'll see you in C -U - B -A" written by Irving Berlin. Oil paintings of scenes from the photos gave us the opportunity to experience their trip. Thanks Kathryn and Howie!

May News Painting Cuba!

Mark your calendars for the May 17th program with Kathryn Clark!
Painting Cuba! From Kathryn:

It will be held in the Mickey Shook Room of the Lafayette Art Museum on May 17th, from 7-8:30pm. I'll show photos of my Cuba trip along with all the plein air watercolors, drawings done there and the five studio oil paintings created after I returned. One of those oils has been accepted in the Indianan NOW exhibition at the museum. Hopefully, there will also be Cuban background music from CD's we purchased from the four piece bands we heard play. My husband, Howie will help with set up and will probably join me in the presentation.

Zentangles!

Thanks to Jan Wright, we had a very creative evening drawing zentangles on tiles with sharpies.  It will be fun to see what the WVAS members do with this new technique!
