California Art Club meeting tonight
 |
| 27 California Art Clubs from our Chapter came from all over Northern California for the meeting tonight. It was great to see such enthusiasm, great ideas for paint outs, art opportunities, and upcoming events. We had a nice dinner and great time networking and visiting with our artist cohorts from Davis to Placerville to Nevada City and everywhere in between. |
 |
| It was wonderful to have Urania with us to critique and share her wealth of knowledge and professional artistic thoughts and ideas regarding the paintings that chapter members brought in for her to see and critique. She gave a very thoughtful and helpful critique and I learned alot just by listening to her. Thank you everyone for being part of this meeting! |

| Artists of all ages make art during our 2nd Saturday session with our lovely model in this "Katy Perry Valentine" Vignette |
