PAGE 2 APRIL 2008 NEWSLETTER As many of you know, fellow artist and musician extraordinaire, Charlotte Grundig, is baffling some health problems, and is now at home. However, what you may not know is that she has just been nominated in the Arts, Culture and Design category for YWCA Vancouver's 2008 Women of Distinction Award. This award has been awarded for the past 25 years, and I am sure we speak for all NSAG members in congratulating Charlotte on this honor and offering our support and best wishes for her personally.

He advised: first, simplify everything to geometric shapes; second, work from shadows, dark, mid tones to light; third, always bring a sense of humor. On the canvas of orange, he boldly added vivid areas of color; the silence of the room was filled with gasps from the audience. Everyone was waiting, baited breath, for each consecutive stroke! Thank you, Daniel. P.O. Box 91051 West Vancouve, B.C. V7V3N3
