What is Decorative Painting?

According to the National Society of Tole and Decorative Painting (www.decorativepainters.org) decorative painting is an art form that uses a variety of techniques to decorate functional and non-functional surfaces. The use of patterns and freehand designs give a high degree of success without formal training or any inherent drawing ability. With creativity, and practice, decorative painting enables artistic self-expression and creative satisfaction.

PVDA MAY MEETING: in place of our usual May Meeting and 2/3 Hour Class, several members of PVDA viewed the Mural Bridge in Frederick Maryland. It is a must see for every artist. Every stone, piece of ivy, the statue, bird and fountain is hand painted - on this once very-simple concrete bridge -- now it is absolutely awesome and unbelievable.

The Board is currently working on this year's raffle item. We are looking to have a trunk made with 5 interchangeable patterns. As soon as additional details are know, we will post them on this site.
