Our LAG program for November 4th is a watercolor demonstration with Lois Smith. She is fantastic! Bring your own supplies if you want to paint along. It will be hands on. Or you can just sit back and take notes, etc… The program is going to be like a mini free workshop as Lois  will explore watercolor techniques with you.  Even if you’re not a watercolor artist, but would like to play with watercolors, this will be the time to do it!

LAG will also be holding an Open House on the 22^ndof November to celebrate our 1^st year with the gallery at Out of the Box. We will need members to be in attendance from10-5 pmthat Saturday.If you know what times you could be there, please let Jody or Myra, Jan Blank for Donna Pozehl know.  All members participating in the gallery are asked to help provide refreshments.

Sometimes I think we over think our work and lose sight of just enjoying the art of making art. Lets loosen up and have fun and get excited about creating art. Saw this quote and thought I would share it.   “Go and make interesting mistakes, make amazing mistakes, make glorious and fantastic mistakes. Break rules. Leave the world more interesting for your being here. Make. Good. Art.” ~Neil Gaiman
