Hello All, I hope this finds you cool, well and

happily looking forward to our next meeting on Sat. Sept. 19th.

Summer was very busy for me, not only starting back testing at the school

district but gathering my paintings for the Avery Gallery show. It turned out

great and Sandra Gray the new art director for Seaside complimented our

SVAA group for being so organized. That put smiles on our faces!

The attendance at the Boronda

Museum Bar-B-Que and Art Show was up quite a bit this year which delighted

those of us who sold paintings... Be sure to attend next year.

I volunteered for the first time accepting paintings for the Monterey County Fair. It

was very interesting being on the other side of the table. I try to enter each

year. It makes it more exciting to attend the fair especiallywhen you win!

Life seems to bring everything on the same day... I have a Baby Shower for

my first Grand baby on the same day as our first meeting back! Sadly I will

miss seeing you at the meeting time of

1p.m. and will also miss our amazing guest artist

Pat Huber. She is not only a great artist but her and her husband Bill are

outstanding members of our community. Hope you are planning on coming, I

know you will enjoy her demo! The board and I are working hard to

make SVAA a valuable asset to you and the Salinas Valley as a whole but this

can only be done with your help!

Please feel free to call or e-mail me

anytime with questions or comments regarding SVAA.

Happy Painting Donna Davenport SVAA

Design. After 20+ years of interior design work, she

began to take painting instruction from local artists

who have greatly influenced her work.

Most influential of all is Pat’s mom Dee, who was a

lifelong artist and a long time member of SVAA.
