   What a fantastic day at Hassayumpa!  Thank you to all who participated, the Nature Conservancy was very happy with the quality of the paintings and it is a wonderful show.  Thank you to Az Art Supply for the gift certificates.  The scenes were not easy to paint but everyone came out with lovely pieces and we also had several brand new members attend.  We have been asked to do this again next year so if you missed it in 09 don't miss it in 2010.

   Thank You to Judith Rickter for having all
of us to her home and serving an amazing BBQ,
potatoes, margarita pie!   Here is the view from
her home in Wickenburg.

PAINT OUT WEEKEND AT THE FLAGSTAFF ARBORETUM JUNE 27, AND JUNE 28
All Arizona Plein Air Painter members (you must register ahead of time)   will be invited to paint for 2 days at the arboretum in Flagstaff.  Here's the plan:  You can paint one or both days, immediately frame and hang whatever you complete, and  leave your work - possibly as many as 3 paintings, (depending on size - one large one equals 2 smaller ones and an additional one would be a back up piece)  until July 31st. (A convenient date for pickup as that is the start date for the Hart Prairie Nature Conservancy Paint-out).  The show will be in the main entrance lobby, sales are handled through the gift shop.   We will announce in the next group email, the actual date you need to sign up.  Sign ups must be strongly confident that you will attend and so another artist can take your spot.  Any questions, email
Linda Dellandre  at  dellandw@yahoo.com for more info.
