Show N Tell Meeting 26 Feb 2010

The Show n Tell meeting has got to be one of the best meeting in the entire year. The very talented artists of the group bring samples of their work and explain a thing or two about how or why they painted the piece. It is soooooo inspiring and uplifting to see all these great pieces. This is the meeting when everyone comes away with something for sure.
Following you will find a sample of the smiles, joy and intense interest interest of the audiance. Notice the willingness of the artists to share what they have and what they have done. If there is one meeting out of the year we should invite a guest this is it.
