DaGroup paint-outs are every Sunday.  However, the first Sunday of the month is the featured DaGroup paintout where  everyone should make sure to attend (and maybe bring food/drinks for pot luck). This helps ensure that painters attending will be able to  connect with all their friends on that first Sunday paintout. It also  helps ensure that Jerrold, Nikki and other accomplished artists are involved in the critiques.

Paintout attendance is a "member  selection criteria" for DaGroup shows, that is, one must attend  paintouts to be able to show their paintings, and more frequent  attendance will have more weight in selections.

For those members who want impromptu paintouts during the week, we suggest sending a blog entry to me (with paintout info - date, time,  place directions) so that members can use the "add a comment" option  to indicate their attendance.

Painting times vary ... refer to schedule below. Critiques will be at the end time, at locations deemed best at the time. Check this schedule the week before to obtain more details, such as directions.  Bring a bag lunch. Come and enjoy the day.

Rain cancels

Details are below.
