Do we have any NOAPS members here (Nat. Oil and Acrylic Painters Society)? Our forum wasn't up and running yet when the exhibit was on tour, it ended in November.
But I wanted to mention it anyway - mark your calendars for next year! Here's a link to the recent exhibit:

I'm fortunate to live within driving distance of the exhibition locations, so I always look forward to this in the Fall.
So much talent, it's really inspiring.
P.S. I'm not a member (maybe some day), just thought it was worth a mention!
