What a wonderful day we had at
HOOT! With so many demos, make it-
take it’ s, and, of course, lots of booths with new paint-
ing projects and supplies, the day flew by. Afterwards,
it was good to be able to climb back on the bus and
relax for the trip home. A special thanks to Alice Gold-
fuss and Mary Ann Slizewski for all of their hard work
organizing a very enjoyable day for all of us.
September will be a full month for GCDA. After our
regular meeting on September 14, Pat Hull will be
teaching a colored pencil class. Pat enjoys using
unique surfaces. At her class, she will introduce us to
working with colored pencil on wood and bisque, as
well as paper. Don’t miss it!
On September 27, GCDA will be offering a seminar
taught by Sharon Chinn. Sharon’s project is an Au-
tumn-themed wood banner painted in acrylics. If you
have ever taken a class from Sharon, you know she’s a
great teacher and her classes are always fun.
If you haven’t signed up yet, don’t delay! Forms for
each class are in the newsletter.
Well, now it’s time for me to get back to working on all
those new ideas I picked up at HOOT!

In planning the April 2015 GCDA Painting Retreat with the theme “It’s a Shore Thing”, it was decided that the fish which inhabit the
waters off the shores of GCDA should be included in the fun. This notion gave rise to the first-ever
“GCDA RETREAT FISHING TOURNAMENT” !! To help kick off this event, we present some of the fish from those waters to give you an idea of the strange mysterious creatures that swim there. These particular fish are Tournament Ambassadors and are therefore ineligible to be in the tournament. It’s up to you to
bring newer, weirder, fancier and even more eccentric fish to Retreat.
To enter the tournament, you will start with a “naked fish” (see photo to the right) which you will dress up in any way or fashion you choose. You will then bring your fish to the April 2015 Retreat for entry in the Tournament. Naked fish will be provided by the Chapter for an entry fee of $2.00 each
with a maximum of two fish per person.
MEET THE AMBASSADOR FISH AT THE SEPT MEETING !
