Parley Lake Winery Event August 10th

Deb Zeller has graciously invited the OPM to paint at their beautiful winery this Saturday August 10th. This is the third year for this event and it's a lot of fun, plus we get a ticket for a glass of wine.

Remember not to park in the winery parking lot so customers have access.

See you there.

Arboretum Show Painting Pick Up

Hey OPM,

Got this from Keith Wilcock, info on the art pick up and nice comments on OPM members.

We plan to take down the OPM show at the Arboretum on Thursday, August 1st.  The unsold paintings will be available for pick up here at the gallery on August 2nd. We have limited storage space and encourage members to pick up their paintings at their earliest convenience.

We had some good feedback from Arboretum members and staff. At last count we had sold six paintings. In this economy, we think that is an OK result. Traffic at the Arboretum has been good this summer so the paintings were seen by several thousand visitors.

We will submit a bill for sold paintings to the Arboretum after the show comes down.  They usually pay 30 days after they get the bill, and as soon as we receive the check we will pay the artists. Thanks in advance for your patience.

We enjoyed meeting and working with OPM members. They were friendly, responsive and cooperative. We were happy to met some artists we had not known about before.

If any OPM members have questions or concerns, please feel free to call us.

Letter from Keith Wilcock - Wilcock Gallery

Dear Richard,

Here is a progress report on the OPM Arboretum show.

Wow!  Forty three artists responded to the call and brought  82 paintings to the Wilcock gallery.  The quality is excellent. Joe and I had a difficult time deciding what to include.  As I mentioned, the Reedy gallery can accommodate about 50 paintings..  Because many of the pieces are small, we are pushing the total to 55 or 60. Everyone who entered will get at least one piece in. We eliminated some of the snowscapes in favor of flowers.  We had a few too many shades of green landscapes and tried to choose pieces that would represent variety. Several pieces were actually painted at the Arboretum.

We still need some artist statements for the binder in the gallery.  They can be e-mailed to us at joe@wilcockgallery.com .

It was fun meeting so many seasoned artists, seeing their art and learning more about their activities and careers.  We hope to see OPM members painting in the Arboretum, if spring ever really does arrive.

Questions or concerns can be directed to us at (952) 470-8118.
