A Note from Dori Sullivan, CWS President
2024 April/May CWS President’s letter …
Could you ever imagine how many different colors can be made with only a simple primary triad? Wow – Mindy Lighthipe sure shared a ton of knowledge both at the demo and the workshop. It was great!! We will have her return, hopefully in 2025. Thank you all for supporting the workshop and to Helene and Signian for putting it together. It was a fun, fulfilling workshop … emphasize the “work” part. I loved it.
Coming up in a few short weeks is our Spring Lunch and Installation of Officers. It will be at the Citrus Hills Country Club and costs $27 per person. Included in the affair is a demo by Jackii Molsick who will show us “Painting on Masa Paper with Watercolor”. She’s an astounding artist and I’m sure you’ll enjoy seeing her work. Please make you reservations by using the sign-up sheet at our website or the CWS Facebook page notice. You can mail your check (payable to CWS) to our PO Box at 2464, Inverness FL 34451-2464. Our deadline is May 3, 2024. Please join us, and bring a friend or spouse!
Just a reminder, annual membership is due in May. I’m sure you don’t want to miss the great workshops and events we have lined up for the rest of 2024 and well in to 2025. You may pay dues at the luncheon or mail a check to the PO Box listed above. Still a bargain – $35 checks payable to CWS.
As I announced at our meeting we want to keep our dues and workshop fees as reasonable as they have been throughout our 40 year history. But we’ve been notified of major increases at Whispering Pines as well as those we received a while back at the First Christian Church. Deb Newman, Signian Mcgeary, Aileen Croly and I have spent several hours checking out options that will allow us to continue to maintain the quality workshops we have and the really terrific reputation we have in the local communities as well as the art world. We have not made any commitments at this point but we do see “light at the end of the tunnel”. Stay tuned and we’ll keep you updated as quickly as we can. Thank you for your ongoing support and please contact any one of us if you have questions or thoughts.
I look forward to seeing you in May! Stay well and to quote Bob Ross “Every day is a good day when you paint”.
See you soon. Dori
