PALS 2009-2010 Meeting Schedule
October 7
“Remembrance”
Image, awareness, recollect, create…. Bring several pieces of paper and the medium of your choice, but be prepared to work fairly quickly. Does your mental motor stall? We will rev it up a notch! This will be a fun exercise in memory, talent and speed!
** October 17
PALS Yard sale, Saturday from 9:00-3:00 on the corner of 6th and Main Street in downtown Palisade. Our yard sale enables us to offset costs for our annual art show. Please contact Arden at 970-464-0440 for details and information about dropping-off items. We hope to see you there!

“Demo artist--Michael Mitchell
Michael Mitchell will dazzle us with his amazing talent by doing a live
figure/portrait pastel painting. Mike has a unique, vibrant style that
captures the essence of his subject and captures the attention of those
who see his work. This is not one to miss!
November 4
“Pottery Paint Out”
Meet at Angelos at 11 am, at 2490 Patterson Road in Grand Junction for a pottery party. Pick a piece of pottery (cups, plates, bowls, platters),
paint it any way you desire, glaze it and have a fun time making it yours. They will fire the piece to be picked up the following week. Makes a great gift!
November 18
“Demo artist--Sandy King”
Sandy will give a demo on the use of acrylics, in her signature style of
bold, colorful florals and she will talk about using the new “open”acrylics, glazing. Visit Sandy’s work at the Blue Pig gallery in Palisade.
Everyone please note: the following two events have been swapped!! So, Dec. 2 will be the Luncheon, and Dec. 16 will be the Pass n' Paint!!
December 2
“Pass n’ Paint”
Bring a 9 x 12 sheet of watercolor paper taped to a board, and a small
set of watercolors (or you can share watercolors with a friend). Also
bring a container for water and paper towels. Better have a strong cup of coffee before this one! This will challenge your ability to paint with emotion without dilly dallying (did I really say that??).
December 16
“Ho Ho Ho”
This will be our annual members' Christmas luncheon. We are meeting at 9:00 a.m. for a special project as well as a luncheon at 11:15 hosted by Mumzel's. For details, contact Lise MacGregor. Please bring a fun, unique wrapped gift for our gift exchange…and keep it under $15. Spouses are welcome!
January 6
“Parody”
Bring several sheets of paper (about 9 x 12) with a hard surface to work on (drawing board, foam core, etc) and your choice of pencils, ink pens, or charcoal, plus erasers, blenders, etc. Put on your best face……
This is all I am going to say!
January 20
“Demo artist--Bev Lee”
Published and award winning pastel artist Bev Lee will give us a demo on painting still life in pastel. She is a signature member of the Pastel Society of America and a member of the Pastel Society of Colorado.

She is a teacher and workshop instructor whose favorite subject is children, although she also paints still lifes and animals. Her work can be seen throughout the valley in many local venues.  
February 3
“Three Blind Mice”
Bring several sheets of paper (with a drawing/painting surface to work
on) and the medium of your choice. Test your ability to “feel” what you
see and draw…..an exercise for the right brain that leaps past logical
thinking!

site. Diana is dynamic, very knowledgeable and just a ton of fun…don’t
miss this informative and lively instruction. Check her out at www.dfrtizlerstudio.com

using a still life set up. She is a nationally award winning artist and
was featured in Watercolor Artist Magazine Feb. 2009. Her work is a mix
of collage and water media with an abstract, yet “impressionistic
realism” to it. You can visit her work at the Blue Pig Gallery or her web
site www.gaylegerson.com
