Wednesday Self Help Painters Fall Session

Wednesday Self Help Painters

Fall Session

The Wednesday Self Help Painters group gives continuing support to SLWS members.  Meetings provide a place to paint regularly, opportunities to choose your own subject matter and techniques, and suggestions from other painters without the structure of a class. With sponsorship by the SLWS, there is no cost to members.

This fall, the group will meet in room 57 of Lindbergh High School on Wednesdays from 7-9pm on the following dates:

          September 4, 11, 25

          October 2, 9, 23, 30

          November 6, 13

          December 4

Come to one session or all ten.  For more information, contact Dave Anderson at (314)544-1774.

Maggie McCarthy and Mary Mosblech at Queeny Art Fair

"Check out the channel 4 web site for the Great Day St. Louis 10 AM show for  Wednesday, April 3.  http://www.kmov.com/great-day-st-louis/Art-Fair-at-Queeny-Park-201280871.html Maggie McCarthy did a watercolor painting live as she was promoting the Art Fair @ Queeny Park.  The show checked in with Maggie twice, at about 10:20 and 10:45.  And, while she was painting off camera they were interviewing Caroline Kennedy 10 feet away from her.  Pretty cool.  Come see Maggie's work at the Art Show this weekend."
