October 2026 PSNC Newsletter
As I sit at the computer to compose this email I am enjoying a cool and crisp morning. I believe we are really and truly into fall. And the fall color is beginning to emerge. Such a delight to paint after the greens of summer, right?
We would like to announce the slate of officers for 2027. And we want to thank everyone who has stepped up to take on the leadership of the Pastel Society of NC. The slate of officers are:
Doug Stewart -- President
Michael Story -- Vice President
Deb Brown -- Secretary
Cecile Ramirez -- Treasurer
We need your vote. Our ByLaws state that votes of Yay or Nay can be sent by email so please email your vote in reply to this email by October 31. Thank you!
The opening reception of the Statewide Show at The Makery in Wake Forest was a wonderful event. To view the amazing artwork in the show go to ShowSubmit.com and click on Galleries. Also, you can see winners and artwork on our website, www.pastelsocietync.com. Our thanks and appreciation for organizing this showcase go to Bridgette Comellas and Kathy Pruett. Hospitality was organized by Pearl Cohen and Deb Brown. Food and beverages were abundant. Cecile Ramirez managed the budget and Laurie Basham and Kim Long were responsible for the fantastic prizes. Thank you everyone!
By the way, pick up dates for artwork at The Makery are November 3-6.
Another award winner is Jackie Rimmler of Cedar Grove, NC. She participated in the 10th Annual Paint It Orange Plein Air Paint-Out and Wet Paint Sale and won 3rd place and sold her painting. There were 110 adult artists and 80 youth artists in this event. Congratulations, Jackie!
On November 7 we will have a live demonstration with Fang Sullivan. She recently spent time painting on the Great Wall of China. We will hear from her about this plus a demo. The zoom link for this will be sent Friday, Nov. 6.
Please remember to email your vote and see ya’ll November 7!
Cheers and Happy Painting!
