May 5 Meet-and-Greet with Kay Polk

We had a GREAT turnout on May 5 for the Kay Polk demo and member get-together in Dallas! There were just over 30 people in attendance, some even coming from as far as Austin, the Woodlands, and San Antonio. Kay's demo was fantastic; our model was a WWII veteran named Jim (so much character!), and Kay did a wonderful job explaining her process, and generously sharing her knowledge. Afterwards, members had a chance to view and critique each others' work. The fellowship and mingling continued as several stayed to have dinner and drinks at a nearby restaurant.

THANK YOU to everyone who attended (we had over 30 people!), and a HUGE thanks to the lovely Kay Polk for giving of her time and talents.

For those of you who have asked about an event happening in Houston, I have good news! Our next meet-and-greet will be in The Woodlands, some time this fall.

Meanwhile, please let your ambassador know (email Anna at annarosebain@gmail.com) if you plan on attending the Art of the Portrait conference next week in Philadelphia. We have tentatively planned for a Texas members breakfast on Friday, May 25. More details to come.
