ART Happy Hour 6-8 PM Thurs 12/13 in the Vista

"Over the Rainbow" c by Jean Bourque 24x36 inch
Acrylic Painting on canvas, wired with painted sides, ready to hang.
For Sale and can be seen by appointment.

*
Howard Hunt from the Artists Round Table and Scott Hunter of Palmetto Interiors and Design are pleased to announce The Artists Happy Hour and Social at 1213 Lincoln St.
in the Vista Columbia, SC.
The idea offers artists a chance to visit with each other and get to socialize.
We could brainstorm about the meaning of something or talk about ways we use the internet in our art. We could share opportunities and discover more about the different people in our group while relaxing with a bottled water, a Starbucks or with the BYOB of wine, you brought. It sure sounds like a great way to get out of the studio and off the computer for a new art fun night.
*
They are hoping to do this on a regular basis. They really want you to come out there.
I think it sounds like a great idea, but I can't make this one, perhaps you can and tell me how it goes. Send HH an email to let him know if you like the idea, BUT cannot make it to this particular one which is on extremely short notice. That way they will try it more than one time.

Have Fun!

* I was in 5 NEW art shows in November, I went to 6 movies, painted 15 paintings and I managed to write over 30 blogs, the month literally flew by. It looks like December is heading in the same direction. Guess what though, I am finally changing out my old 1995 printer and upgrading. Can you believe it, instead of 2 minutes to print one page I will now get 30 pages a minute. I just can't imagine it! Wow, I may actually get a few extra minutes ...

It's all fun.

yours truly,

Jean Bourque
