From our
Ocala Decorative Artists President
Barbara Barsel
Happy New Year everyone! I wish you all a very happy and healthy year ahead. As I look back on the past year I have fond memories of our painting workshops and seminars and our meetings (especially the ones where I won a raffle prize). My thanks to those who taught the classes and to those that attended. Just when you think you know it all, someone comes up with a new medium or surface. We painted on everything from burlap bags to feathers. And at our Jan. 25th meeting we will be painting on gourds (mine will be a bird house) taught by Carole Sheftic.
This year we painted over 35 burlap treasure bags that were donated to the Boys and Girl Club of Marion County. I am so proud of our members for doing such a great job with our philanthropic projects. We will be deciding on our next project at our meeting.
I thank our board members for their dedication to our club and also Carole for designing and continuously updating our website and what would we do without our Peggy who always has the coffee brewing and breakfast items ready for us to devour at our meetings and a big
thank you to Ronee and her committee for hosting our wonderful Christmas Party.
As I look forward to 2020 I see a lot of interesting projects on the calendar. We will be having an Arts & Crafts sale at our regular meeting room on Feb. 21 and 22. Two colored pencil Seminars have been scheduled with Janelle Johnson in March and with Mark Menendez in the fall and several of us gals are taking a road trip to Orlando to buy more painting stuff that we cannot live without.
We encourage each other to keep the brushes moving and at the same time, we have lots of fun. My wish for the coming year is that we
can increase our membership and make new friends. Please invite a friend to join us, even if they have never held a paint brush. We are
here to encourage folks to join us in our favorite hobby.
Stay safe and be well. See you on January 25th.
Kindest regards,
Barbara
