Postcards from Creighton’s - Feb 02
Today was our first “February Postcards” day.  The table was full of excited artists!  It has been awhile since we had so many.  The last book didn’t inspire so we have moved on and Shirley’s idea of creating postcards was a hit!

Heather created a card for Joanie.  Actually she did FOUR! There were three that were suggestions of plants.  They were lovely and subtle.  The fourth was a sweet heart.  She called it “Ode to Joanie”.

Sue painted a colorful tree for Janie.  There was a delicate lace of dark branches with an explosion of reds and oranges for the tree which were set off by a subtler green background.  The colors actually matched what Janie was wearing!

Janie had Avelina and she did a delicate little card of the mission in Sonoma.  We loved the little bell!

Marjorie wasn’t there last week but wanted to “play” anyway so she did a Blue Footed Booby with intense turquoise-y feet and bill.  He (or she) was a charmer!

Joanie painted a coast redwood cone for Sue.  They shared Sunday with John Muir Laws so it was a memory.  There were a few “naughty” references that made us chuckle.

Shirley did a piece for Heather.  She really doesn’t like valentines much but somehow she created a really cool one for Heather, in “Heather” colors.

Avelina recreated some of the more memorable pieces Shirley did in the last year or so.  It was a tiny Doggie Diner Dog surrounded by flowers and insects from Shirley’s Asian fabric series.  It was fabulous!

Carole and Mary were with us, too.

We are collecting the cards, each person holding on to their “gifts” and are hoping to do some kind of showing at the end of the project.  We really had FUN with this and the group seems re-energized and excited!!

Think about coming next week!!!
