Inside this Issue — April 2010

Plan for Spring!

Spring will be here before you know it, so it’s time to plan for your 2010 painting activities. We trust the projects featured in this issue will help to get you started.

Why not think about attending a painting convention? If you’ve never attended a convention before, we hope you have an opportunity to experience the fun and education these gatherings provide. The following is a partial listing of the 2010 decorative painting shows. We hope to see you there!

Happy Painting!
Linda R. Heller, Editor in Chief
