Join up with the Hood River Painters at Pheasant Valley Winery Tuesday, 9/22/09

Here is a message from Bonnie White together with photos from last week's Mosier paint-out:

This Tuesday (9/22/09) we are going to paint at Pheasant Valley Winery. If you've always wanted to paint the grapes just before they were picked, this is the opportunity. There is a My. Hood view from the top of the winery and lots of grapes on the vine. If you want to enter the vineyard, your shoes must be wiped with bleach to prevent you from carrying a disease or insect into the vineyard. Scott Hagee will meet us at 9:00 a.m. to give us the rundown. If you want to paint without actually entering the vineyard, you can do that without the bleach.

A message from Shawn Demarest:
Greetings!

Planning for the event is moving along - and I'm thrilled to have Muse Art+Design as our sponsor. They will be providing tents and more. I've attached an updated entry form/flier. Please share this with friends and art groups. Also, to add some excitement and to tie in with the August 1,2 celebration we will be offering refreshments and prizes (probably raffle - maybe goodie-bags) to artists painting in the park on the 1st and/or 2nd.

Additionally, I have one painter and one encaustic artist (Thats right! Melting wax over an outdoor stove!) to do demonstrations. We're hoping to find at least two more willing artists to publicly demonstrate what they do. And, I need to find them quickly to give them the most publicity possible! Please share this with any friends/artists you think may be interested. Demonstrations would happen on August 1st and/or 2nd.
