Hi Everyone,
It's obvious that members want to repeat our successful Holiday Gift Exchange, first started in 2010.
Last year, the Christmas Exchange of small paintings was a great success. OPAS will again be providing the canvases for you to paint your masterpiece on.
Here's how it will go:
No excuses! It costs you very little, it's painless and it's all part of the OPAS spirit. You can begin right away. On November 12, you will know who to mail your gift to.
If you want to participate, please post your willingness to this discussion and send me your postal address to keith@wilsonstreetstudio.ca asap.
There is no theme other than sharing your skill and passion for painting. You don't even have to create the mini-canvas en plein air. Although bonus points if you do. :-)
Already signed up to do this are:
We have more than double the members we had last year. We should be able to get 30 or 40 people in the exchange this year.
Cheers,
Keith Thirgood
President, OPAS
Hi Folks,
So far we have the following signed up:
We were going to provide everyone with a mini canvas. However, some people want to use their own materials. How about each of us chooses their own painting surface, as long as it's 4 x 5 of smaller. This cuts down on the mailing.
This way there's nothing to stop the early birds from beginning their painting now. You just won't know who you are sending it to until November 12.
More people please sign up.
Cheers,
Keith
Hi Everyone,
So far we have the following signed up:
There's only 13 more days in which to sign up. I hope to see a lot more of you over the next few days.
Cheers,

This is better. We're now at 21 and counting:
Keep them coming. You have until November 9 to add your name to the list. On November 12, I will publish who mails to whom.
A number of you have already sent me your snail mail address. For those of you who have not, please remember to send it to me, or your gift exchanger will not know where to mail their gift to.
Cheers,
Keith
