This weeks painting location is listed below.

PAPC GROUP SHOW AROUND THE CORNER!!

It is about that time again! This year has passed very quickly. I am looking forward to another successful show this year. Last years show was incredible. I am looking forward to seeing how we have all grown as artists. It will be very interesting.

The work entered will be of paintings that were painted with the PAPC only. Not PAPC-SW or PAPC-NW. I hope you understand. :) For continuity sake it has to be this way. I hope one day we can join all the groups for one LARGE show. We will see.
So come on down to "Chi Town" and join us!!
I will be posting details for the show soon. I just wanted to give you a heads up.

SATURDAY-DECEMBER 17TH LOCATION

Hello Everyone,
This Saturday we are going to the Gross Point Lighthouse area in Evanston, Illinois. This is a great location on the lake north of the city. I have painted here a couple of times and loved it. It will also be very interesting with the snow.
By the way, if anyone has any photos of each other painting, please send them to me and I will put them on the blog site. I sometimes get wrapped up in my painting and can not get around to take photos of everyone. Thanks and see you Saturday!!!

IT IS COOOOOOLDDD HERE IN CHICAGO!!!

Well, I didn't expect to come back to such extreme temperature! I haven't had time to adjust, but I love it anyway. I am looking forward to seeing you all again! It has been a long time. Thank you so much for all the emails and support. I will be posting more photos, paintings and stories on my bellitalia blog soon. I need to take a bit of time to get my life back on track.

This cold Saturday we will be heading to Bucktown again. We will be going to some new locations soon. But, on such a cold day we will need to duck into some cafes everyonce in a while and there are plenty around that area. I look forward to freezing our butts off together again!!!:)

ALSO: I want to thank Stuart sooo much for taking such good care of the group while I was gone. This was a big task for him, so when you see Stuart, give him a big hug, because he did a fantastic job!!!
THANKS STUART!!!!!
SEE YOU ALL ON SATURDAY.
