Tole It To The Mountains www.wmdpgnh.org The Official Newsletter of the White Mountain Decorative Painters’ Guild An Affiliated Chapter of the Society of Decorative Painters Volume 31, Issue 1 [email protected] President’s Corner... What a terrific meeting we had in January, relaxing fun & doing something a little different. It was so good to hear many of you say that you had a great time with the projects. And, the new location was excellent! Anne Wifholm did a great job with the installation of officers and members of the board, bringing in the New Year for White Mountain. The lighting of the candles are such a neat way to express what our Chapter is about and, with the “lights” of all of you beaming and the sharing the love of painting; it is truly a pleasure. Going into the meeting there were 5 big jobs to fill and when I asked for “volunteers”, you came through! Jobs filled were Nominating Chair – Kris Lafayette, NET Country Store for WMDPG – Tricia Joiner, NET Country Store Chair – Sue Hodgkins and Melanie Knox to CoChair and NECC/NET Rep – Sue Hodgkins. What a terrific way to start the New Year, thank you all for your support. We have a great year of events ahead of us, be sure to register early to save your seat. We have 4 community service projects this year 1) The Memory Box program, 2) David’s House food & supplies donations 3) Painting wheel chair backs for a Nashua Medical Center and 4) Donate painting supplies, surfaces from your stash to the NH Women’s correctional institution. All 4 of these service projects help our community, shares our talent and they add to our Chapter Achievement Award accomplishments. February 2014 SDP Sail into Creativity Convention 2014 has asked that our chapter decorate one table for the banquet in this theme or any other theme. Items needed include: Centerpieces: 1 gallon-sized paint can. Source: Amazon.com, Lowe’s Home Depot, Ace Hardware or your local paint store. Charger Plates: 10 charger plates. Source: Hobby Lobby, Michaels, other decorating stores, or online. Table Favors: 10 small favors, one for each setting. Optional: Items to decorate and fill the paint can. If your imagination runs to filling the paint can, it cannot be more than eighteen inches (18" or 45.7cm) tall. If you would like to participate or chair this fun project, please let me know. There is a line item in the budget for the supplies we just need painters. Remember the NET Country Store for WMDPG needs painters, ideas, surfaces and or painted items to sell this year. Your Chapter receives 80% of all gross sales. Contact Tricia Joiner if you have some thoughts or are willing to help with this endeavor. Happy Painting!!! Elaine EGG SWAP Please bring an unwrapped, hand-painted signed Easter egg that will fit in a brown lunch bag to the March Meeting. Don’t forget one for David’s House as well. Can’t wait to see the creativity! __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Tole It To The Mountains Volume 31, Issue 1 Page 1 Cindy’s Circus Part 1 Opportunity for Service Afternoon Programs!!!! The women at the NH State Prison for Women in Goffstown are gratefully accepting any and all donations of craft materials. The women would be especially appreciative of your unwanted fabric, yarn, painting supplies, etc. Many of them sew and do one stroke painting. These women are looking for meaningful ways to spend their time, and many of them cannot purchase their own supplies. Donations will also be used at Shea Farm, which is the women's halfway house in Concord. Bring your unwanted items to any meeting and Marj Kiley will collect them for distribution to her daughter in law who teaches at the Prison. The girls from the Prison were most appreciative of the items collected from the January meeting. They loved getting the wood to paint and really loved getting all the paints that Margo Wiggin donated. They have written a thank you note that will be shared at the March meeting. If you have any questions you can contact Marj Kiley 603-483-2949 or Officer DiPietro 603 -668-6137. You can also schedule a donation on your own by contacting Officer DiPietro. Thank you for your generosity! Are you sick of me yet! I am!!! Lol I can’t believe it’s time for another newsletter. Oh my! I hope you are well and staying warm. New England has sure lived up to its reputation, “those cold New England winters”. I have the heat up in the studio attempting to create new projects and finish up some old ones. I just have to say, January’s lunch was magnificent. A sincere “Thank You” to Jo-Anne Naugler for providing the Italian Wedding soup, Cheryl Barb for her infamous Corn Chowder, Larry Provencher for his delicious Chicken Noodle Soup, Debbie Fortin for her ‘to die for’ Kahlua Cake, Elaine McMahon for the Hermits, Nancy Schlis for the bean dip and ricotta squares, Sue Mangano and Shirley Cochis for the broccoli squares and veggie lasagna. I would also like to send out a HUGE ‘THANK YOU’ to Jo-Anne Naugler, Nancy Schlis and Elaine McMahon for a most enjoyable afternoon program. Please bring your finished boxes in for the ‘Palette Potpourri’ table. If not, take a picture and send it to me for the website. You are a pretty creative group. Marj Kiley Now, looking forward, one thing I’m really excited about is CLEANING out my studio. Thank Sue Hodgkins for encouraging us to purge & organize our ‘stuff’. In doing so, several of us have taken advantage of the March “Painter’s Attic Sale” opportunity. Donna Frost, Tricia Joiner, Kris Lafayette, and Nancy Schlis are just a few of the vendors to participate. In addition to the opportunity to purchase some new found treasures, we will be offering “hands -on information stations” that will educate and inspire. Giovanni’s will cater March’s lunch: Veggie Lasagna, Chicken Broccoli Penne with Alfredo Sauce, Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad, pita and garlic bread and dessert. Cindy Harrison Vice President Goodie Bag Memo...

She also expressed excitement over our first meeting in our beautiful new facility and the fabulous programs for the year ahead. She thanked board members, committee chairs and volunteers for their hard work in making all this possible, including Cindy Harrison’s son, Alex, for providing the PA system and background music. OLD BUSINESS Afternoon Programs, Workshops and Seminars - 2014 - Cindy Harrison January Afternoon Program is a multiple project program led by Jo-Anne Naugler, Cindy Harrison, Nancy Schlis & Elaine McMahon. Lunch is a delicious pot luck spread provided by the generosity of several chapter members. March Afternoon Program - A Painter’s Attic Sale - Tables will be set up around the sides of our meeting room. The cost for a space (which includes the table) is $15.00 rented on a first come-first served basis. The sign up form is in the newsletter. Cindy said the idea was a brainstorm from last year’s trunk show. The purpose is for our members to put money back in their own pockets by cleaning out worthwhile items that they may never use but someone else might love to have. Ideas for what to sell - anything painting related - surfaces, packets, brushes, painted items, etc. We could have a make-it-take-it going on at the same time but we would need a volunteer to organize this. March Workshop - March 23 (Sunday) - Kim Hogue - The Workshop photographs are on display today. May Seminar - Lynne Andrews Seminar - May 2 & 3 (Friday and Saturday) The Friday project picture is not available yet. It will be on display at the March meeting.

The focus of the installation was on the service that each member should perform for the Chapter. Candles were lit to highlight each executive officer’s responsibility as she was introduced to the Chapter. The 2014 officers are: President Elaine McMahon (2nd term) Vice President/ President Elect Cindy Harrison Newsletter Editor Sue Hodgkins Membership Secretary Cheryl Barb Secretary Tricia Joiner Treasurer Jo-Anne Naugler Members of the Board Nancy Schlis, Larry Provencher, Dotty Pullo, Kathy Tanguay, Melanie Knox (not present) and Alternate - Sue Mangano On behalf of the chapter, the President thanked Anne for a nice ceremony. “We are here to share our talents, our love of painting and our friendships.” NEW BUSINESS Afternoon program teacher’s fee - At the April Board meeting, the Board voted to increase the AP teacher’s fee for which membership approval is needed. Kathy Tanguay made a motion to increase the AP teaching fee from $50.00 to $75.00. The motion was seconded by Larry Provencher and passed without discussion. 2014 Budget The budget was published in the newsletter. Treasurer Jo-Anne Naugler explained that with the approval of the raise in pay for the AP teachers, $125.00 will be added to the General Meeting disbursements (new figure – $3,500.00) causing the overall negative balance to be ($2,083.00). She reminded us that the balance is negative because we are not collecting membership fees this year. Debbie Fortin moved that the budget be accepted as modified. Nancy Schlis seconded the motion. The budget is accepted as amended. Newsletter - Sue Hodgkins - It was announced that the deadline for the next newsletter is January 26th.

Share-In’s! Workshops!!!! Hello again, we have several Workshops on our calendar this year. At the January meeting, we voted on the project for Kim Hogue’s March 23rd program: Summer Breeze. The surface is a 10” birch panel circle with a 2 ½” wide frame (overall size is 15”); cost is $18.99. The surface (with prep directions) will be available at the March meeting for all who sign up. If you are thinking about signing up, please do so by February 28th so that we can get the surfaces in time for the March Meeting. If you are not planning on attending the March meeting, please call/email Cindy to make other arrangements. If you have a surface you’d rather use, Kim says ‘it is okay’! This project features techniques such as dry brushing (scumbling), sanding (distressing) using sanding sticks (sanding discs), Kim’s floating technique, and a good use of a liner brush. Brushes, sanding sticks, and other supplies/ patterns will be for sale before and after the meeting. Share-Ins can be offered by a Teacher, a Shop, a Studio or a Host/Hostess. These programs are usually for a specific purpose such as to paint for NET Country Store, Memory Boxes, centerpieces or any other designated project. There are no fees paid to the teacher or any charges/costs for attendees/painters. Several painters/members get together to paint for a common project. This is a great way to share the love of painting and do something for the Chapter. Reminder... Have you renewed your SDP membership!! Look for the renewal form in this newsletter. ALSO REMEMBER… WMDPG is giving FREE 2014 renewals for all 2013 members, however, you must complete the White Mountain form stating that you want to be a member and that your personal information is the same. Dotty Pullo, CDA & Deanne Fortnam, MDA will have projects for us soon. We are hoping to have them for voting on at the March meeting. 911 - I would really like to NOT monopolize the microphone at the meetings. Is there any one who would be willing to help me out by taking on the Workshops? I really need a break. Please call me, email me, or approach me at a meeting and I will tell you all about the responsibilities (which are not much). It is a great way to meet your fellow painting family members and some really awesome teachers. Computer skills are a big help BUT NOT required. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Tole It To The Mountains Volume 31, Issue 1 Page 11 __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Tole It To The Mountains Volume 31, Issue 1 Page 12 Cindy’s Circus Part 4 2015 Proposed Retreat… The Board would like to have a small committee to discuss the possibilities of holding a Retreat in 2015. We are very excited about our new home at the Country Inn & Suites and think it would be a wonderful place to hold it. If you are interested in being on this committee, please notify me as soon as possible. We need to get the ball rolling! If you cannot be on the committee, you can help in other ways! 1) You could teach a new technique or design? 2) You could donate surfaces for a class; 10 or more of the same or similar in size and shape, would be preferred. 3) You could organize the Friday night Reception or the Saturday night dinner. There are so many things to be done, we can not have a successful Retreat without YOU!!!! Tips ‘N Tricks.… How are we doing on cleaning out and getting organized? I’ve managed to organized my bottled paints but still have a long way to go with the rest of the room. I found this great idea, to the right, for hanging paint storage, using wire shelves. I know that I threw out some of these a couple of years ago!! Unfortunately I don’t have the wall space to do this myself but maybe some of you can. I love the painted flower pots to store pencils, brushes, scissors etc. What you can’t see from this picture are the beans they put in the pots to hold the pencils upright. I wouldn’t use beans (fear of mice or other little creatures) but decorative marbles or rock chips would be great. I have a stash of flower pots that I’m thinking of doing this to. Nothing like killing two birds with one stone. Use up some of my unfinished goodies while organizing at the same time. Come to think of it, I’m sure I have a couple of bags of rock chips left over from my daughters wedding…. Happy organizing and painting, Sue Hodgkins Coming to New Hampshire Carol Spohn Batik & Watercolor June 7&8, 2014 Kelly Hoernig July 25-27, 2014 Colored Pencils & Mixed Media If you are interested, please contact Cindy at [email protected] __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Tole It To The Mountains Volume 31, Issue 1 Page 13 News from SDP... Society of Decorative Painter News Last May or June, some of you may have made a donation to the International Museum of the Society of Decorative Painters thru Razoo to help fund a project to document and video the collection of decorative painting in Wichita. Photography and documentation took longer than expected but the extra work spent cleaning and documenting is important in maintaining a special collection. The first pieces are expected to go on-line for viewing in February. The on-line tour of the collection will help promote decorative painting and explain what it is. It will also be very educational for our members who have not be able to see it in person. Jay Staten, SDP Staff Editor and Publications Director, and Miho Halsey, Museum Coordinator have updated the forms used to document artwork. This includes An Artist Statement. Some of you may want to start keeping statements about your special pieces. Here is part of the explanation from the SDP form: What is an Artist Statement? It is a short piece written by the artist—the creative mind behind the work—to accompany a particular painting or group of paintings. It is an explanation of your work to people viewing the piece, whether they are potential buyers, exhibition curators, critics, fellow artists, or casual viewers. It allows the viewer to be enticed by your work, learn more about its creation, learn more about the artist, as well as to understand the tone of the piece. How do I start? Your artist statement should be short, no more than one page. Think about how you would explain the artwork to someone specific in your life. You will want to convey your thought process, and obstacles/concerns that were important to you as you worked. Avoid being pompous—speak from your heart. Describe the actual process that you used. Talk about what you used and when you became inspired, or when, and about your best painting time. Answer the “why” you painted the piece. Describe what motivated you, the rewards you get when producing art, the investment of time, energy, emotion, and even money. Issue No. 1/2014 is at the printers and will be shipping February 1. This issue will include your new membership card. Don’t lose it! There will also be an absentee ballot so you can vote for the candidates. Your vote counts! Only a small percentage of members vote at conference so it’s the absentee ballots that determine the winners. Also in this issue is information about nominating deserving members for the 2014 awards: Silver Palette, Priscilla Hauser Award for Business and Industry, Dedicated Service Award, and Outstanding Chapter Service Award. Anyone can nominate someone and surely you know someone who deserves one of these awards. Stay tuned for an announcement that videos explaining the Certification Judging Process are up on YouTube. Actual boards are shown being judged. Even if you don’t plan on submitting, you will learn something from these videos. This is a Quest for Excellence that helps you grow as an artist. Last but not least, we are thrilled to announce that the Society of Decorative Painters nominated Priscilla Hauser MDA to be inducted into the Craft and Hobby Association Hall of Fame. The CHA judges agreed with us and Priscilla was honored at the recent CHA show in Anaheim, CA. Donna Frost, President Society of Decorative Painters Important Workshop Info!
