From our  
​Ocala Decorative Artists 
President
​
​Barbara Barsel  ...........

Dear Friends,
    We had a great time at our June meeting as Pat taught us how to reverse our stretched canvas and paint our beach sceneand attach it to the back so we had a completed canvas, already in its frame.  I never would have thought to do that.  What a cool technique! 

You don't want to miss our July 23rd meeting where she will be painting on the back of a frying pan!  Now this will make a great gift for a housewarming, Thanksgiving, or Christmas.  My family thinks I am so creative when I actually don't have an original idea in my head!  I just learn from others and enjoy making their creations.
    We all were deeply saddened by the loss of our friend, member, patron and fellow painter, Donna Stutiak.  We last saw her when she joined us last year at the Equestrian Center and Luncheon. Our sympathy to her family and friends. 
    Our tour of the museum and lunch last month was such a great day.  We spent over two hours at lunch talking about our life experiences with families, school, giving birth to our babies, our shopping habits, etc.  No discussion about ailments, aches or pains! 
Next time we are just going to do lunch and have fun with our round table discussion.  And there will be a next time, we already voted on it.
    We send our thoughts and prayers to Margaret and her hubby, Joe, who are having some medical difficulties.  We hope to see you back with us soon.  Get well wishes also to Carole Sheftic.  We miss you guys.
    Well, I finally did it.  I cleaned out my so-called "studio".  What a mess.  It took me several days.  I finally consolidated all my unfinished items and put them all in a cardboard box and now will take them out one at a time to finish.  (Don't judge me!)  Too much paint - too many brushes - too many surfaces - way too many books and magazines.  Oh my,
I still have gift cards for Hobby Lobby, Michaels, and JoAnns.  Help, I need another room!
    Please invite friends or neighbors to come and join us at our meetings and workshops. 
Don't forget to bring a raffle gift and something for a breakfast treat would be appreciated.
​Please go to our website occasionally to keep up with
current events happening with our club.  
    Be well and stay safe.  Kindest regards,  Barbara
