Hi painters, hope you aren't snowed in like I am. I've been trying to paint but can't, there is just something about knowing that you can't get out.

We installed our new officer's, had a good lunch and laughed a lot .

Thank you again for the interest in my work and be prepared to work hard and
most importantly, to have a good time!
I will also bring framing materials, (frames, glass, double alpha mats,
foamcore backing, brads, flex wire, single strap hangers and dust cover). If
anyone is interested in getting their work framed the cost will run $80 per
painting. This is a student discount and is priced very reasonable.
Unfortunately, I will not be able to bring enough for everyone but I will
bring as many as I can. I can accept Visa and/or MasterCard so they can make
their decision after they are done painting.
I make it a habit of demonstrating during lunch. If anyone is interested in
watching me paint a painting during the lunch break please tell him or her
to bring a sack lunch if one is not provided. I will donate the demos to
your chapter to use in your best interest.

Best Regards, Mark Polomchak
