We totally finished the crown molding and are very satisfied with the result. We figure for amateurs we did a pretty good job.
The other exciting event is that I have signed up for the International Pastel Society Convention, so John and I will be going to Albuquerque at the end of May for that. I have always wanted to go to New Mexico and it's a plus that the IAPS is there. I have also signed up to belong to the Pastel Painters Society of Cape Cod, it's a long way from Chelmsford, but is the only one in Massachusetts. I don't imagine I'll get to any meetings or take part in their events but by being a member I get a slightly reduced convention fee, but it will be good to belong to the society and get newsletters and information.
