Happy, HEALTHY New Year…
Your Art Club starts the New Year with this “Apple-a-Day” themed painting that wishes ALL members and their guests the best in 2026!
Deb chose this surreal landscape inside a glossy vibrant apple to concentrate on painting reflections and negative space that lets you do most anything.
Free backgrounds such as this can be found at pikbest.com/. Deb is excited you honored her to lead you in painting this fun canvas and hopes that painting this will keep the doctor away!
Happy New Year! Happy learning new things…

The new year started with a BANG! as 50+ were registered for the program and we welcomed several new members. It promises to be an exciting year. Special heart shaped canvases were available to those who will enter the ‘Vintage Rose’ contest in February when we celebrate member appreciation. And we heard from members just how intrigued they were with this most unusual ‘Apple-a-Day’ design that was the first program of the year. Deb led us through it and resulting paintings showcased a range of interpretations that made for some very interesting designs. Thank you Deb for a great job…
