Painting Still Lifes at the Snyder House










Hi,  Our group are all members of the Mason Deerfield Arts Alliance and we are fortunate to paint in a beautiful old home on Monday mornings.  The Arts Council has their office in the house also and they rent the house out for special occasions.   Today was a fun day at the Snyder House.  We set up several different still lifes and some of us painted those.  Several of the group worked on their own projects.  Normally we kind of crowd into one room because after all we enjoy each others company.  Today we spread out throughout the house, gave us a bit more room.  There were 15 people there this morning of our group of 21.  My name is Barbara Pask and I am chairperson for Mason Area Painters and I love being a part of this group.  I know how lucky we are to  be involved in a group like this to share ideas and information.   Happy Painting

Opening at the Pendleton

Hi Everyone!  This past Friday night was the grand opening at the Middletown Pendleton Art Center,  Saturday was Second Look Saturday.  We had a huge crowd,  it was a fun night.   Our gallery consists of the artwork of 14 members of Mason Area Painters.  We sold 9 paintings total for Friday and Saturday so I think it was a great success.  One of our members also received two possible commissions.  So we are off to a wonderful start.  We will be open every first Friday of the month and a few hours on the following Saturday.  We also will be open for any special events that Middletown has,  we will let you know about those.  Here are a few photos of our new gallery,  we divided it up with three walls going to 13 artists and the front wall will change out monthly with a different featured artist.
