From our  
​Ocala Decorative Artists President

​Barbara Barsel 

July 2020....
    
Dear friends...
The saying goes, "Life is what happens while you are busy making plans".  Well, this is not the way I planned to spend my summer!  And, we cannot schedule any activities or meetings until we get a hold on this nasty virus.  We are not meeting in July and have no idea what rules and safety regulations await us in August.  Please watch our website for club information.
    I am hoping we do not have to cancel our Mark Menendez seminar in September, but it is too early to tell and also depends on his decision to meet.  We have several workshops lined up.  Now it is just a matter of when we can schedule them
    I hope you are still continuing to paint; now would be a good time to make a few special Christmas gifts.  I went through my stash of patterns, packets and books and picked out the ones that I thought I would like to do and decided that I would have to live to be 120 years old to paint them all - you can't say I am not optimistic!!  Please remember to sign your work, front or back, to show that it has been hand painted.
    I hope our members will keep in touch with each other to share ideas and as we have
all found out during this pandemic, we miss socializing with our family and friends the most.
I want to be able to give and get hugs again.  Please stay well and be safe.

    Kindest regards, 
​Barbara
