Your Board Wants Your Opinions & Ideas for 2021

While our nightly news highlights successes and setbacks with the spread of COVID-19, its treatment, and possible vaccines, in fact, it may be many more weeks and months before it is safe enough for us to restart our monthly meetings and other programs. Your elected officers and the Board of Directors continue to meet and brainstorm ideas for what the Guild can offer our members. But, frankly, we’d like your help.

Your Board has designed a short 7-question survey using the online app Survey Monkey to gather your thoughts and ideas. We’ll be sending the survey to all members to your email address. Please keep an eye on your email inbox (and SPAM/JUNK folders in the event our survey gets routed there).

Please take 2 minutes to share your opinions, thoughts, and ideas with us so we can see how best to meet our members’ needs and desires in the coming months.

Donna Koutrakos and Linda Verhagen, Presidents

Member News

Our members continue to find ways to be creative and advance their art.

Chee Ricketts announces…

My watercolor, “Catching the Light” [above], has been selected for the ArtUnlocked show that opens soon at McGuffey Art Center.

Also, I will be teaching, “Watercolor Technique Tune-Up”  through UVA’s online OLLI program,  beginning on November 10. It was a treat to look at the roster and see some familiar CVWG members’ names. We’re going to have fun!

Peg Sheridan emailed us:

I hope everyone is doing well. I have two shows starting:

• My show at CoArt Gallery in Staunton, “New Watercolors” features some new subject matter and techniques. It is open now, and runs through November.  
• Starting this Thursday afternoon, I will be the Featured Artist at 7 East Gallery in Woodstock.  

 I miss painting with all of you and I hope you stay healthy.  Keep checking my website for classes; the next Saturday workshop is November 14.
