President’s Message
I just looked back to last year’s
message for this issue. It said
“Spring at last! I was beginning
to think it would never come, but
it really always does.” Well, it
did and it really always does. This
year it is especially welcome. I’m
eager to get outside and paint
something green, although, as of
this writing, there is still a foot of
snow in my backyard.
The year ahead looks busy. We
have our Tenth Annual Members’
Show coming up. Ten years is a
milestone for a volunteer group,
and the existence of the Pastel
Society of New Hampshire is a
tribute to all of the members who
do volunteer.
At the Liz Hayward Sullivan
Workshop in February, Liz
encouraged the participants to
volunteer. I echo her words. We
need new people to enrich PSNH
with fresh ideas. Volunteer for a
director’s post or chair one our
events. If you like to work with a
friend or spouse, volunteer as cochairs. Call our vice president or
me to find out what is needed and
what you can do to help our
society celebrate its eleventh
annual members’ show.
Watch for the notice to submit
your application for “It’s Pastel!”
As you know, this will be our first

year to use an online submission site,
www.onlinejuriedshows.com. An email blast
will go out to members and previous
participants. All applications will be completed
online; no more CDs! Help will be available
online and by phone if you need it.
I’d like to thank Mary Ann Eldred for her work
as treasurer and Gary Ozias for his work as
program chair for the past two years. Both have
worked hard at their posts and deserve our
gratitude.
We are fortunate to welcome Marilyn Bok to
the Treasurer’s position. Marilyn lives in

PSNH MEMBER SHOW May 30 – June 27
All Members Encouraged to Participate!
You are invited and encouraged to participate in the 10th Annual Members
Exhibition at The Jaffrey Civic Center in Jaffrey, NH. Because it is the TENTH ANNUAL EXHIBIT
there are a few changes in the format that we hope you will find exciting.
Members’ Exhibition – Jaffrey Civic Center
Please note the following changes:
OPENING RECEPTION and Awards Ceremony will be held on
Saturday, June 6, 2015. Hours remain the same. 11-1:30.
JUROR OF AWARDS: The Juror of Awards is Paul Ingbretson of Manchester, NH. Mr.
Ingbretson is founder and director of Ingbretson Studio of Drawing and Painting. For more
information, go to: http://studio.ingbretson.com/ .
There will be a 10”x 10” wall of pastels and we hope all members will be represented in this
anniversary special. We ask that these not be matted and to frame them with a simple ¾”
molding to keep the size uniform and to price each at $250.00. This will be a great way to show
off our collective talents. A special award will be given for the “Best in Show” for this segment
of the exhibit, in addition to the awards given in previous years.
FRAMING: At the recent members’ meeting, there was much discussion about the framing of
the 10 x 10 entries. Some have already purchased black frames that are 1 inch in width. Yes,
you may use these. For those of you who haven’t made your purchase, please get a ¾ inch
neutral frame as pictured below. This is readily available on line or at local frame shops.
REMINDER: PLEASE PUT ON YOUR
CALENDARS:

PSNH Members Invited to Join PPOM
at a White Mountain Fall
Painting Retreat
This is not a workshop; there will be no instruction
or formal critiques - just lots of beautiful painting
sites, laughter, and good friends. This retreat is still
very much in the planning stage. Probable dates are
mid-September, in the Newry, Maine area. We will
be staying at a lodge that can accommodate up to 16
people. The weekend retreat will be limited to 20
participants due to the size of the indoor studio
space (in case of inclement weather). There are
several other accommodations and additional
lodging nearby. Numerous painting spots abound
near the lodge, with Grafton Notch State Park,
Screw Auger Waterfall, and the Newry Covered
Bridge to name just a few. If you are interested in
learning more about this retreat, contact Kate
Bergquist, PSA kbergquist36@comcast.net. The
dates and cost - which will include lodging and
breakfast, will be posted on the PPOM website
