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

 Dear Friends,
Well, Spring has finally arrived and hopefully by now we have all had our vaccinations against the Corona Virus.

Our chapter has been able to meet once a month by using caution and safety measures and since we are a small group we were able to use social distancing.

We are now able to relax a bit and plan our upcoming workshops. Please watch our website for the information. (Maggie has an exciting project using small jewelry items for next month's workshop).

We all had a wonderful seminar with Mark Menendez on in March doing a colored pencil drawing of a Bird of Paradise flower. He is such a wonderful teacher and we always learn so much from his classes. You can see some of his other projects by going on his website.

We served coffee and breakfast treats and provided lunch, snacks, and candy. (Well, we have to keep up our strength while drawing you know!)

We welcome our new member, Carol Gould, who is a fellow member of the Manatee Haven Artists Club.

We look forward to sharing many new workshops and seminars together.

We are still trying to decide how we want to celebrate our 20th anniversary. It will probably be a road trip and lunch, to be determined.
​
If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Be well and stay safe.

Kindest regards,
​Barbara​ 

Please keep informed......                                          →
