To summarize this Thursday's visit to Allied Arts Guild in Menlo Park, Alison composed a lovely ditty:
Like the 12 days of Christmas ( everyone 🎶 🎵 sing) there were a
Eleven ornaments hanging
Ten outside Tables waiting
Seven sunny courtyards
Six standing easels
Three fountains flowing
Two arched entries
And a cafe benefiting Kids
Allied Arts Guild in Menlo Park is decked out for the holidays and still open for business https://alliedartsguild.org/
Please Note: Due to the regional stay at home order the rest of December Thursday paintsites have been cancelled. See you in 2021
Paint site Guidelines
Please check the Paintsites website for details including directions and possible cancellations. To keep our members and guests as safe as possible during the COVID-19 era, we must change how we do things. Some of the paint sites have visitor limits. When this occurs we will post the information in paint site details on the SCVWS website. Participants must wear masks and observe the 6 ft. distancing rule. We no longer take photos of paintings on site. Please take your own photo, crop if needed, and submit to paintsites@scvws.org
Blog Submission Guidelines
We invite Paintsites' artists to paint or sketch during the week, pick one painting from that week and submit it by Saturday of that week. Here are some guidelines:
- Submit a digital photo of your artwork to paintsites@scvws.org. Cropped photos are preferred.
- Include your name, the date and comments about the site or unique media notes.
- Be creative! Some of your best subjects are in or around your home. You may want to paint from personal photos of your travels.
- Submissions after Saturday midnight will appear in the following week's blog.
- One submission per member per week, please.
