AitA Poster Contest Winner

 

Congratulations to Kathryn Ciarrocca!
Thanks to all who participated in this year's AitA Poster contest. It was a difficult decision, because out of the seven artworks submitted there were two others that we could have chosen.
We are doing this again next year, so there will be another opportunity for those who did not get a chance to enter this year.
Hey, you have a whole year to paint, maybe next year's winner.

Thanks again to all,
Maria E. Williams

 

Missing Item

 

WAA hosted a splendid picnic on June 11th, and the weather, hotdogs and light breeze were perfect!  The painting  of the still life was won by Barbara Jamison, and everyone had a great time!  We have a missing utensil, and I do hope that someone out there will find that they have taken it home in error.  Our guest, Charlie Robertson brought along a fine and valuable knife together with hors d'oeuvres.  The knife was given to him for service to his company, and it wasn't there on his plate of appetizers when he came to take them home.  Charlie is hoping that one of you will recognize his knife.  Let me know if you have it.

 

Thank you, 

Ann Lees
