PAINTING BUDDIES WANTED
Art classes finished?  Friends have headed south?  No one to
paint with during the winter doldrums?  DCAL members invite
you to share space at the Bertschinger Center in Egg Harbor
for painting time, shared critique, and camaraderie one
morning a week.  The schedule will begin as follows:  
Mondays, January 4th, January 11th, February 1st, and
February 8th, from 11:30 AM – 3:00 PM.  Each participant
will pay a nominal fee to help fund the space.  If you are
interested, e-mail Sherry Mutchler at
sherry_mutchler@yahoo.
com or call 743-2927.  Looking forward to painting with you
this winter!
(Please note that there is an “underscore” between sherry and
mutchler in the e-mail address.)

CRITIQUES IN SISTER BAY
Tom Seagard and Marcia Nickols were talking about finding
a place where artists could bring their work and have
constructive conversations about the work and the artists’
goals, but not to do their work there.  This is meant to be a
give-and-take for all artists so they can grow within the work
they are doing.  The winter is a good time for this because
many have closed their galleries and things have quieted
down.  We found that the Sister Bay fire station has a place
available on Tuesdays.  We thought that 10:00 AM would be
a good time, not too late, and give time for the snow plows.  
The dates can be negotiable, but to start we took December
22nd at 10:00 AM.  Future times and dates will be discussed
when we meet; this is just a startup.  If you are interested,
please give Marcia a call at 854-9369.  This is meant for all
artists; if you know anyone who would be interested, please
let them know.

SISTER BAY LIBRARY
The Sister Bay Library is offering DCAL artists the
opportunity to exhibit for 2 – 3 month periods.  Marcia
Nickols’ work is currently on display.  If you would like to
participate, contact Marcia and she will put you in touch with
the proper person at the library.

PLEIN AIR PAINTING
At this time, there is no one in charge of the Plein Air Group;
however, who’s out painting in this weather, anyway?!  If you
could help coordinate the sessions, please contact JoAnne
Rosenfeld at 559-7530 or
luvbostons@gmail.com.  In
addition to the weekly sessions, the plan this year is for the
Plein Air Group to participate in the League’s various outdoor
and indoor venues, including the Gallery, to bolster interest
and customers.  Visitors love to watch artists work!

SEND NEWSLETTER INFO TO BARB
Please send all newsletter information to Barb Kenyon at
kenyon@newwis.com.  The next newsletter will be mailed
during the first part of January.  It will include your 2010
DCAL renewal form, so please respond promptly.

FEBRUARY POTLUCK AND CRITIQUE
There will be no December or January general meeting.  
League members will meet Monday, February 22nd, at the
Gibraltar Fire Department meeting room, 3496 County F,
Fish Creek.  Please bring a dish to share, plates, and utensils.  
Also, bring a piece (or two) of artwork in progress for an
informal critique.  The potluck meeting begins at 6:00 PM.
