May 4, 2019 Bi-annual  Meeting  

Fourteen members gathered on May 4 for our most recent bi-annual meeting at Mary McCarty's Community Center in Milwaukie, Oregon.

​Several members shared their most recent work, including our new sketchbooks from round 3 of the sketchbook exchange.

We discussed upcoming events including our botanical alphabet project and the Lan Su Chinese Garden show.  There was encouraging news about possible new exhibition opportunities in the future.

Alice and Janene presented a new benefit of OBA membership: resource guides developed to help members with framing and approaching venues to display artwork.

Aislinn gave us a mini-demonstration on use of stippling.  We spent the rest of the meeting  practicing our stippling technique.
