  I just received a nice email from Rachel of the Belleville Plein Air Festival.  She says Mr. Dinkel is willing to ferry the unsold paintings to Toronto within a few days.  Could we OPASians seek your kind forbearance and have Wilson St as a central depot.  I know you are going to Finger Lakes for a couple of days so if this isn't possible I understand.
  Kind regards, Ted

  Keith Thirgood: Hi Peter,
  All that shows up is Burlington. Please send a message to me with your complete address in it. I think the Ning system strips out everything other than the city.

  Welcome back to another year with OPAS. One last step to complete your membership is to fill out and mail (e-mail) the application form/waiver to the address on the form.
  Considering your location, you might also consider joining the Eastern Chapter of OPAS. They're a great bunch out there and very active.
  Also, asap, replace the horrible placeholder picture the system puts in place for you, with a shot of yourself so we can all see who you are.
  I hope we get to paint together sometime soon. Helen and I will be up in the Ottawa Valley running our art retreat in June. Perhaps we'll come across each other then.
  Cheers,
  Keith Thirgood

  It looks like Saturday will be sunny and not too cold. (high of 12), although a little windy. For those of you new to plein air painting, I recommend you wear layers, as it will be chilly in the morning and warm up as the day carries on. There are a number of great spots that are out of the wind.
  Bring a hot drink and a bite to eat as the nearest coffee shop is a bit of a drive away. If any of you are new to painting en plein air, and would like to ask any questions, you can add a comment here or e-mail me at president@ontariopleinairsociety.com.

  OPAS, President → Ashbridges Bay Paint-out: Hi Everyone,
  I suggest we postpone this until Sunday. Mainly because they are calling for 35km winds. That's far to windy for umbrellas, easels and everything.
  Sunday is going to be partially cloudy with 15km winds, which is much better.

  Dalibor. You're the organizer for this. Do you officially declare Sunday to be the rain day?
  Helen and I will be there Sunday morning at 9 am.
  Cheers

  See you on Saturday. Bring umbrellas. As long as you're not painting water colour, a small amount of rain isn't so bad. Here's me painting at Scottsdale Farm the other year in the rain.

  See you on Saturday. Bring umbrellas. As long as you're not painting water colour, a small amount of rain isn't so bad. Here's me painting at Scottsdale Farm the other year in the rain.
  
  Helen and I will be bringing extra umbellas if anyone needs them.
