The Loft has had a great November with lots of sales, including; Greg Huddleston's oil painting, "Groundscape with Native Asters" as did Jan Settle's pastel of Peaceful Afternoon". Lis Piatt's ever popular pastels, this one, "Blue Ridge Dawn", sold.
Sue Linthicum's "Inside an Iris" sold and she got a commission from the purchaser! By the way, both Sue's and Jan's work were sold directly from the table from when I took them in. They never even made it to the wall! Just more proof that the right spot and the right lighting are not always what sells a piece!

ArtSpeak!
this month, but we are having the ArtSpeak! Holiday Party! Friday evening, December 16, at the Loft at 7pm. Wine, food, talk-talk and two interesting pieces of entertainment (should you decide to join in the fun); a play, written by Bill Werick, will be read by 7 people chosen at random (each will read one of the characters). If it's by Bill it is sure to be irreverent and funny, possibly heretical. Also, our main topic will be,
What is Beauty
to you? Please bring to share; a song, poem, short story, haiku, photograph, picture of a painting, a piece of music, an item discovered in nature, whatever moves you...be prepared to say why it is beautiful to you. I am reading a poem that always makes me cry (note to self; wear the waterproof mascara). Partners, spouses, friends...you + one are welcomed! Participation is not required. Come, be part of the creative community and celebrate another year at the Loft! RSVP by Dec 13!
Yoga
at the Loft has been suspended until January. December is a hectic month for us all, and as yoga has been sparsely attended it's been decided to postpone until January. That's when some of us will be interested in shedding some stress and weight from the holidays.
The Acrylic Painting Workshop with Lou Messa on
December 3rd was filled almost immediately! So next time Lou comes to teach, don't hesitate, register!
Our Santa's Workshop for Kids is December 10! A whole day to create gifts for parents, teachers, family members and friends. Lots of really cool ideas that kids get to choose from to create. Instead of purchasing manufactured gifts for kids to give....invest in them, so they can give gifts they made to their special people. All ages welcomed, we have different items for different age fingers and attention spans. Limited registration because we like to keep it small to give each lots of attention. See below for more info and to register online.
