Tuesday, March1st, was the DAS monthly meeting at the Delta Arts Office at 7pm.
There were 11 members and one visitor in attendance. The visitor came to join by being asked by James House to come. She and a couple others are taking art classes at Mid-South Community College.
James is a member of the Master Gardner’s Club.
Helen formally opened the meeting with the reading of last months minutes read by Sandy Younger. While reading the minutes Sandy jokily said that she could not read today which became contagious.
Clara was next to give her report on the finances. We are in the read with no outstanding debts.
After finishing her report, Clara gave a report of our sicken member Sara Bundy. Clara stated that today Sara got to go home with her sister after a term of being sick. Clara suggested that Sara would enjoy to receive a call from members and her cell number was given out. There was also a get well card sent around for everyone there to sign for Sara.
OLD BUSINESS
“Who has their Crittenden County Landmark Finished?”
Hands went up through out the meeting hall. Willie brought his painting to show by suggestion of Clara. The painting is of the Marion Courthouse. Willie said he would be finishing it by cleaning some places up otherwise it was finished.
“Has anyone started the primary painting?” This time no one answered the question. The painting is not due until our May meeting.
The primary painting has a limited color pallet of blue, yellow, red, white, and burnt umber. Subjects in the painting are building/s, water and tree/s.
James jokily said that pure watercolorist don’t use white in their paintings. He suggested that purple should be used instead, I really believed that he just wanted to add another color to his pallet and no one really paid attention to the suggestion.
