MARCH 2020 NEWSLETTER
Hello All,
March is nearly here and the early signs of spring are all around us. I have daffodils, tulips, and crocus poking through the mulch, and the birds are beginning to sing their spring songs. Just the other day I saw another sign – bags of mulch were being unloaded at the local hardware store.
March 1 is the opening date for the Greene County Senior Show, which runs for the first three Sundays from 1 to 3:30 p.m. and closes on March 18 at 2:00 p.m. It is always a beautiful show so I hope you will bring your friends to view the show and celebrate senior artists and artisans in Greene County.
Daylight Savings Time begins March 8, so we will be able to enjoy an extra hour of daylight in the evenings. St. Patrick’s Day is March 17, and the official first day of Spring is March 19.
Several FAA members enjoyed a tour of the historic Osborne area of Fairborn on February 10. This is the area designated for artists to find inspiration for the BW Greenway Landscape Show. We saw several interesting and unique architectural elements to paint. The tour guide indicated another tour would be held in May when flowers and trees are blooming. Be looking for information on that, and be sure to pick up a prospectus for the show so you will know how to enter your artwork.
FAA is well represented by members who have paintings in the Aqueous Ohio, Southwest 2020 by the Ohio Watercolor Society at Sinclair Community College in Mason. The show runs through May 29. If you want to view the art online, please go to https://www/ohiowatercolorsociety.org/Exhibitions/index.html and then look under Regional Exhibits.
Please keep the families of Maggie Vance and Mark Bauer (Shirlee Bauer’s husband) in your thoughts and prayers as they mourn the loss of their loved ones. Members Lois Kuck and Anita Wilson are still battling health problems. If you know of others who need our support, please let a Board member know, or send the information to Jackie Albright so we know to reach out to them.
Correction: Our March speaker is Kate Santucci who does Encaustic Art. I hope you are as interested as I am to learn more about this art form. The meeting is Tuesday, March 3 at 7 p.m. Louise Jackson will be our speaker at our April 7th meeting. End of Correction
Please open your heart to volunteering to help FAA. We will be needing people to run for office and filling various other positions, including being part of the Nominating Committee in March. It is also time to sign up to help at the Sweet Corn Festival in August. YOU are needed and wanted. I recently read an article on stess reduction techniques, and one of them was to be a volunteer! Please let me know if that could be you, and if you are asked, please remember your “YES” is needed.
Joe Miller (AKA Cheap Joe) says, “Sometimes a blank canvas is a napkin and a studio is a restaurant.” Art is all around us, we just have to open our minds to the possibilities.

GOOD NEWS ABOUT MISUK GOLTZ WORKSHOP
Misuk Goltz’s 3-day Journaling workshop is full but the GOOD NEWS is that she has graciously agreed to teach a 2-day Portraiture class on the 2 days following the Journaling class – May 7 and 8. The class will cost $140 for the 2 days and the supply list, if you need to bring anything special, will be in next month’s newsletter.
If anyone who is registered in the journaling class wishes to switch to the Portraiture Class, let Pat Dunker know ASAP and your deposit will be transferred to the new class, but only until the class is full.
