Hi y’all!
Hello everyone!
I never post many of my paintings. But today I am super proud of this vase. I did this clay work (my first clay work). This was so much fun. Hope you enjoy. Donna
I do need to pay tribute to Rhonda Hayes of Austin. She painted a beautiful clock several years ago for convention. That was my inspiration.

1st I am sorry I have not been posting! It's been very hectic lately.
So tonight I will makeup for it.
I have been taking a private lesson from @Susan Thumm. Omg, the best thing I have ever done. But I want to share her wonderful paintings. I was in Awe of Everything she Paints.. Tell me your thoughts??
Comment on Facebook 441584392711461_1781490158720871
Why, yes, we agree. She is a fabulous artist.
Just wish you didn’t live so far away! You’re a wonderful teacher and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my classes with you.
Some of the most beautiful exquisite paintings that I have ever seen!
Susan is a talented artist. A Great teacher.
Susan Thumm always does her best, which is outstanding. She pushes the edges, and inspires you to, loves her critters, and can put more color on one leaf than you think is possible. Love you, Susan.
Ever since the first time I met her, I said I want to be just like her when I grow up! To have her drive and knowledge would be awesome!
Absolutely beautiful artist and teacher❤❤❤
Ditto on what Wendy said!! Anazing!
Susan is an amazing artist and a kind and loving Godly woman! Love her!
Incredible talent & paintings & teacher but most all an incredible lady & friend!
Thank you all for your kind and encouraging remarks! Makes me work even harder to measure up!
Susan is a fantastic artist and teacher. I love her paintings.
Susan’s paintings are outstanding!
Everyone of these is absolutely spectacular! The detail is amazing!
Colors are great, meaningful. But not to busy. Well thoughtout
Susan is amazing! Thank you for sharing her paintings! >^..^<
Beautiful paintings, her work just pops out at you!
Beautiful art and great teacher.

I am so truly blessed to have so many painters as a mom around me! Thank you to all for so much love and support.
Happy Mothers day to all of you! With lots of love... Donna
Celebrate moms that
inspire you.
They’re the women who consistently care for their families. The ones navigating busy schedules, messy rooms, and sometimes, empty homes. They’re the women who mentor others with love, and who lead others with compassion. And they’re the women who keep showing up—even when life gets hard.
These women show us what it means to be a Mom. They are worthy of being loved, known, and celebrated.
Today is a great day to tell a mom in your life how much you appreciate her. Take a moment to thank God for the moms He’s placed around you, and then share this special Verse Image with someone who inspires you.

Can someone give me information on Jambros Enamels? We have a person needing instructions. Thank you. I appreciate anything we can pass along to her.

They are tricky and have a tendency to chip off if fired in a small kiln. My teacher 30 years ago used them. Fire in a large kiln an let it cool completely. Fire to 018. If they are hard add turpentine to reconstitute them. Too much oil causes them to run or chip off.
I took a class, but was told it only worked on glass. I have taught it to my students, but we have only done it on glass. They loved it and are still painting on bottles. I have some instructions, if you want them. Was also told to use rectified turpentine. Will try it on porcelain since Cheryl said it worked!!!
General Board Meeting
Congratulations to our New Officers for 2021 / 2022!

Update on Candy Bunnell Ferren from George and also a small message from her this morning but she needs to rest, stay strong and get better soon. She’s really sick. She doesn’t have COVID which I was not expecting that because she is very diligent with being safe from that😁
From George Kiss ... Candy was admitted to the icu at Cedar Park Regional...my daughter is a supervisor for the icu so she will get some extra attention...she is having some issues keeping her blood pressure up..her kidney function was low..no estimate for discharge..she is feeling a little better.. will try to keep all informed of what I know....
I’ll check Facebook later today but now I’m out to take care of some issues with my house. Hope everyone is safe, warm and continue to stay diligent with Covid still here!!
Carol DeWind if you and your husband can get an email to everyone in our porcelain club I would appreciate it. No everyone checks Facebook.

Nancy Benedetti is an extremely talented artist. Go look at her profile photos of her sculpture work.
Thank you Nancy for letting me share!
Comment on Facebook I have been admiring...
This is me today teaching in AUGUSTA, Georgia. Student Anna Nichols, Rome, Georgia.
This is wonderful! How I envy you ladies, wish I could be there
Great work ladies x
Been wanting to take from her! Just can’t get together at the same time same place! One day hopefully.
Wow very lucky ladies to get to paint those beautiful items!!
Nancy is such a good teacher!
Nancy is an awesome artist & fantastic teacher!
Oh wow...that is awesome. I want to do that!
Many dear friends in that group!!!
Dawn Willard, Fresia Leigue
Here's what Dawn is making
Nancy is excellent
Wonderful!
I have been asked if I knew where to get a list of all schools?
So can I get everyone to post your schools, classes, teachers, conventions, demos. If you have a flyer please post.
Clubs if you are having seminars and need participation, post here and let everyone know.
People are wanting to paint, so please share.
Please do not post negative comments. I understand some do not feel safe to get out, some want everyone to wear mask, etc. We are all adults and can make decisions based on ourselves. This is information that has been asked for.
Is there anywhere that I can find a list of seminars being offered anywhere in the US?
What a great week so far. Mary Seehagen is visiting several clubs in Texas. She is from Caro, Michigan.
This is my first time to paint with her and I will tell you, she is just lovely!
I wanted to share her picture, a school she will be having in November 2021 and some wonderful pieces of artwork. Yes, she is selling any of these pieces.
Her artwork is fabulous. I do encourage any clubs who might be interested next year in booking her to call Vicki Dean. She visits several clubs and maybe you can get your club into the rotation.
I hope enjoy.
Comment on Facebook 441584392711461_1684675671735654
It was a challenge this year in booking Mary due to Covid but 4 clubs were able to book her. I try to book her during club’s meeting time but that doesn’t always work. So if your club can be flexible it certainly helps in booking. Mary likes to come in Feb. My number is in the Texas yearbook.❤️
We're fortunate to have Mary in Michigan. I attended her workshop on chickadees and learned so much from this lovely lady. It had been on my bucket list and worth every minute!
We use a lot of her studies! Great artist and teacher
She is a very lovely lady and talented! Carry’s great blank China to.
Mary will be the out of state Guest Artist next year for the SFPAC of Texas Convention along with in state artist. Janet Nelson.
Beautiful artist and beautiful pieces!
I loved her class. Be sure to pick up her graphite. It's awesome!

So very much enjoyed demo. Thanks for sharing.
Hello ladies!
Thanks. I recently got Mary's book with all the design information but it helps to have her explain it.
She is such a great teacher
Wish I was there!

Question for Everyone...
What is art?
There is a true definition of art, however I would love to hear your thoughts, ideas and expressions.
Have you ever just looked at that piece of blank porcelain and then put it down because your brain just couldn't process that amazing idea.
If you have great ideas let everyone hear them.
I experienced some creative art while I was gone. I am going to share
different art. Would love for everyone to participate.
I took some pictures of birds and wanted to share. Please print, share, and use any of my pictures.
I love all the wonderful paintings of parrots and birds. If you have a bird painting please share it.
I hope you enjoy these pictures.

Love these, the 20’s.
It is with heavy heart I want to let everyone know one of our dearest friends and member, Nettie McHone Wharton lost her husband today, Donald Wharton.
They both have had a battle with Covid. Nettie is healing and needs our prayers during this very difficult time.
I kindly ask everyone to lift her up in prayer. Please go to your yearbooks for her address and send Nettie a card to let her know we are thinking of her.

Hi everyone ☺
I just need a little help in planning the convention.
There are some very tough decisions to be made. With me being president, most of it falls on me to decide. I however, would like to know your thoughts, concerns and exactly what you feel will make a difference. I have made a questionnaire to get some feedback. Possibly will send another in late February.
I would also like to know from vendors what your thoughts are.
But what I do ask, if you disagree with how someone feels DO NOT make a comment. I am not here to argue what you think others should do. I am wanting your thoughts on what will make you feel comfortable at convention and if you will come if we can make it as safe of an environment as possible.
Thank you for all of your help in making my decision a little easier!!
Lots of love to all,
Donna

Amazing!
Fellow painters, I am teaching a class of 10-13 year old children, and as part of that class, I want to give them an overview of porcelain art. So I am asking for your help. I am in need of 2 or 3 studies or pictures of studies that you think are the easiest things to paint. I want to offer them choices of what to paint, but they aren't going to get to put a great deal of time into the painting, just get a feel for it. I would appreciate any pictures or ideas that you have.
Hi everyone,
I know there are several groups that have ornament exchanges for Christmas. I am not a part of any groups that do that so I was wondering if anyone here in our group on Texas Facebook Group would like to do this for 2020. We could exchange anything Christmas: ornament, candy dish, mug, etc.
Would love to hear your thoughts? If you want to do this let me know. If I get enough people this would be fun.
I would draw the names and give to each person. You would need to promise to paint your piece, package it well and ship to that person. So there would be a little cost involved and some work.
So I need your feedback.
