PAPC MAY 13TH LOCATION - LINCOLN SQUARE, CHICAGO

I am really looking forward to getting back out with you all. I hope last week was fun. I had a great time in Montana. It is really a beautiful state. My buddies and I will definately be planning a painting trip in Montana. I can't wait to get back. The Show was fantastic. They had about a Thousand people come the first night and sold a record 73-75 thousand dollars worth of paintings. It was really amazing. The demonstrations also, were very exciting and educational. Peter Adams(the Judge) did an interesting demo on Friday evening at the Hilton. He really inspired all who watched him work. Saturday at the gallery, Zheiwei Tu, Roger Dale Brown, Jeff Legg, and Nancy Seamons Crookston amazed everyone with their talents. I really learned a ton by watching them all. I will never forget this experience.

Next years OPA national show will be at Whistle Pik Galleries in Fredrickburg, Texas.
I hope you all can enter next year.
