I wish someone else would post something..... maybe something about writing or illustrating or a picture.

Writer's meeting

9:15 Barnes and Noble, Warwick, RI Sat. Aug. 22.

Plein Air painting

Arlene, Joan, Judy, Kate and I (hope I didn't forget anyone) did this Sunday Aug. 9th at the First Congegational Church in Bristol. It was fun but I couldn't go to the next one 8/16 so don't know if anyone else went. The series is sponsored by the Bristol Art Museum and you can probably just show up.

Illustrator Meeting

We met last night at Joan's home. Just 4 of us: Joan, Kate, Arlene and myself. Kate brought some tasty monkey bread. Arlene presented a picture she did since our last meeting in a warm fantasy style. Joan showed some illustrations she has been presenting for a children's book by a noted local sport's hero. They are wanting a style not Joan's so (networking) Joan will show them the printer's sample of the book I have been working on to see if my style will do. I also brought some stuff from a book idea I have been stuck on for a long time. I had brought a version of the story to the writer's meeting on 7/18.

Joan also showed a book of auto illustrations and was going to show us her latest Power Point talk that she gave but we ran short on time. She had her cards printed and they will soon be ready to buy. She will also be off to Calif. for a project using her Blue Santa.We spent some time looking on the net using the big screen TV.

We are planning some trips: Illustration Museum in Newport, Eric Carle Museum, painting. Our first trip will be plein air painting sponsored by htpp://www. bristolartmuseum.org. We will meet at the Bristol Library to go to the site which is a church for 3 PM. It is Sunday Aug. 9: 3 to 6 for a fee ($4 or $5).

Our next meeting is at Joan's home Monday 8/31 at 7PM.
