Musicians, artists, computer geeks, thespians, singers, and writers got together Friday, Jan 16 at Studio UFO to celebrate birthdays of anyone who was born in January. The music was great, the food was great, the conversation was great!
Times are a changin’, hold on to your dreams, and remember where you are come Tuesday when we all get back on the track and can be the most proud to be an American once again. Goodbye to chaos and entitlement. Hello Obama and the everyday good citizen.

Bill McEnroe Charms Huge Crowd with Old Barns
Old Barns have a dignity and charm but how does a painter meet the challenge without painting a cliche? Just ask BIll McEnroe!
On Sunday at the Kingsgate Library in Kirkland to a packed crowd he did just that at his demo for the Northwest Pastel Society. Bill demonstrated how he begins a work with loose lines bordering the picture plane, “just to get him engaged into the picture”. He then translates his composition and value sketch “loosely” and begins to paint with joy, humor and professionalism.
Thank you, Bill, for setting the stage for the upcoming NPS Member’s Show by inspiring us, helping us see how joyful painting can be and how image can be used as an element of excitment and potential rather than being overbearing and rigid.
For more information about the NPS Member’s Show and how to become a member go to www.nwps.org.

Elaine interprets her many travels all the way from the the Okanogan to Sitka Alaska in her beloved medium of soft pastel. Beautiful, reflecting, and wet water images result from her true understanding and ability to see value. Her work is for sale and will be available for viewing by appointment until Sat 1/17.
