1 Mar-Apr 2018 Hi, to all, We are well into the new year and there are so may holidays the first part of any year: New Year s Day, Martin Luther King Jr Day, Valentine s Day, Mardi Gras, Ash Wednesday, Presidents Day, St. Patrick s Day, Easter wow. The thing that comes to mind for me with all these special days is COLOR. The bright lights and fireworks for celebrating the new year, MLK s speech given especially for people of color, Valentine s Day with red and pink hearts (and I need to add the tasty browns of chocolate!). Mardi Gras celebrations include the purples, greens and golds of beads and decorations. Then there s gray for Ash Wednesday, patriotic colors as we honor out country s leaders and green shamrocks for St. Pat s Day. I look forward to the springtime pastels associated with Easter. From grays to gold, it s certain a painting time of year! There are great activities scheduled following each chapter meeting. Plan to stay to paint!
