2011 Alabama Impressions Art Show

New this year:  We will have a table with miniature paintings, note cards, prints, hand painted ornaments, etc., for
sale at reasonable prices.  Artists may attend to their sale items (appear with their art)
but it is not necessary to stay the entire day as we will have volunteers at the sale table.
This will be a fund-raising event with 20 percent going to the Guild.

Wetumpka Senior Center

Shirley Esco and Carol Hickman went to the Wetumpka Sr. Center in November.  They used oil
pastels to paint the feathers and head of the turkeys. They were attached with hot
glue to pine cones that Carol collected from her yard . They had a great time.

Thank you Carol and Shirley for volunteering! 

Carol Hickman is  going to be teaching at Jasmine Hill Gallery starting in January,
drawing, charcoal and pastel – depending on the student’s interest. You can call
Carol  on her cell 334-391-5090 if for more info.
