MEETING ON NOVEMBER 19TH

Thanks Holly for hosting our meeting on Saturday the 19th.  We enjoyed hearing about the Silver City Fiber Arts Festival and some members' trip to the Houston IQF.  There were announcements, sharing and good eats!

Mary shared her two Numbers pieces.

Gail's beautiful abstract piece she started in Katie Pasquini Masopust's
 class at Santa Fe Quilts.

WHAT'S THE IDEA?

Very Simple, there are lots of great Photographers out there in internet land, and there are lots of Artists of all abilities who would like to paint from photographs. The problem is that Copyright law prevents this.

Paint My Photo (PMP) Is for the sharing of reference photos for creating derivative Artwork without copyright worries. Painting Photos has never been so much fun!

***  PLEASE READ THE LINES BELOW; VERY IMPORTANT!!! ***

****PLEASE ONLY PAINT DERIVATIVE WORKS FROM PHOTOGRAPHS-NOT FROM REPRODUCTIONS OF MEMBERS ARTWORK

Members may only share photographs 1) that they have taken themselves or 2) for which they have full copyright ownership.

Please only post paintings from photos sourced from this site, in the main Gallery. You may post your own Artwork in Groups and your Blog for discussion/critique.
