something we all need whether we are taking pieces to a local show or shipping cross country.

Shirley Tomac won the last remaining painting of our raffle, a lovely floral by Linda Ruwe.

minute.

There will be plein air painting by the Suwannee Valley Plein Air Painters at the Wild Azalea

center.

That's all for this month. I hope to see you at the April meeting at the library at 6:30 on April 2.
