2012 SDP Board Member At Large - Election Run


I just thought I would let you know that I am running for the SDP Board as member at large for next year. I know this may seem a little early but I am reaching out to painting friends and chapters requesting their support. I know that I am fairly new to the industry but everything that I do and have done is to promote decorative painting, increase member numbers and try to increase our industry ...presence. I was asked if I would run by the nominating committee while at HOOT and I accepted as I feel that now is a perfect time to work with our chapters and members to build a bigger, stronger, and more responsive SDP. If we all work together, then we can definitely make a difference. I will be representing the members, chapters and other painting friends if I am elected. I will use my years of experience (over 40) in business, marketing and Human Resources management to help bring about change throughout SDP. It is time for a new, bigger, stronger and better SDP, I think.

The voting, as you know, will be at next year's 2012 SDP Conference however, for those members that cannot attend the conference, there is an absentee ballot process where non-attending members can vote making their voices heard.

Hopefully, I can count on your vote and support. I think it is time that our members are heard and my intention is to work very hard on their behalf.

If you are not a SDP member or if you need to renew your membership, now is the perfect time to do just that. Have a great day and happy painting.

David

Comments About Pampered Palette From Seminar Attendees




This past weekend we had a fantastic seminar at our studio with guest artist David Jansen. I wanted to share some of the comments that we have received from the attendees. We appreciate so much their comments, friendship and their business. Check out the comments below:

"Thank you so much for your hospitality this past weekend. Good company, good classes, gracious hosts and great food.  I appreciate so much your dedication to excellence in the decorative painting community. My very best wishes for continued success with Pampered Palette". (Susan M.)

"The seminar was WONDERFUL - and we need to thank you for sponsoring David to come to teach us. It was the best seminar I have been to in 10 years. So, again THANK YOU VERY MUCH". (Bennie P.)

"Thank you both for providing such a wonderful painting experience. What a treat to have David Jansen teach practically in my backyard". (Susan V.)

"I had a lovely time. Thank you". (Rickie S.)

"What a blast! I have learned so much in 3 days. Thank you for pampering us with great food and gifts while we learned from the fantabulous David Jansen". (Bobbie B.)

"Greatest seminar ever! Lot of laughs, terrific food, incredible lectures!". (Kristina R.)

"Dear David and Mark,  What a great weekend with good friends! Learning painting techniques from David Jansen, eating fabulous food, meeting new people, having a great studio to paint in, and oh, my, the gifts just ...kept coming from Pampered Palette. I particularly love my new painting apron. Now I won't want to get any paint on it! We were certainly pampered! Your Pampered Palette name is so appropriate.

I am so glad I finally was able to attend a seminar in your most welcoming and comfortable environment and look forward to more." (Jackie N)

"Pampered Palette is a "Class Act". Enjoyed the seminar and appreciated David's teaching style. "Pampered Palette" is definitely a well organized and run operation along with making you feel welcome and of course pampered.  Thank you," (Nancy G)

I will say, this was one of the best seminars I have ever been to if not the best.  Good friends, wonderful food, great teacher, and wonderful hosts.  Thank you so much for everything.  (Becky B.)

Again, we would like to thank all 23 individuals that joined us for this great seminar making it such a HUGE success.

For those of you that were unable to attend our seminar, then maybe we will see you soon at another seminar sponsored by Pampered Palette. Don't you think you need to be "pampered" at your next seminar? Join us and you will see how Pampered Palette is different.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

David and Mark

A Really Busy Time For Us!!! Lots of Stuff Going On!!!!

We have been so busy lately trying to get everything completed, updated or rearranged. A couple of weeks ago we had to empty our entire training room so that we could install new flooring, which makes the room much nicer and a lot easier for those leather rolling chairs that students sit on to paint. Those chairs work so well on the new floor that we could run races as the chairs just zip along................lol. After the floor was installed we decided that since we had to put everything back into the training room, that we would make a few changes. We have added lots of new items like additional lighting in the ceiling, new surfaces, Lynne Andrews patterns, Arlene Linton books, Scottie Foster books, and we are installing a ceiling mounted sound system so that everyone attending classes can hear the instructor. Lots and lots of changes.

We have also had two seminars recently with Tatiana's Zhostovo Style seminar, Sandy Scales Maureen McNaughton Seminar, my own classes and of course the upcoming David Jansen seminar. Seems like we have very little time to get anything else done but that is not the case. This week I finished two pieces that I have been painting and am working on a third. Really busy.

We are also getting ready for next year. We have seminars booked at our studio all the way through December 2012. We have seminars with Arlene Linton, Sandy Scales, Louis Mueller, Val Cole, Tatiana Sholokhova, Serina Huang and Mark Polomchak, just to name a few. What an exciting year 2012 will be. For conferences, we are expanding that area as well. We will have booths at SDP (Wichita) Conference, HOOT Conference and for the first time we will be exhibiting at the Artist Expo Houston. We are so looking forward to meeting many of our friends and making new friends at the shows. Those are just a few things that we have in the works so it looks like next year will be very busy for us as we continue to grow.

On a final note, we are now a PROUD business sponsor of the National Museum of Decorative Painting. We would like to encourage everyone to support the decorative painting museum in some way, with a generous donation or a visit to the museum. Any support whatsoever is greatly appreciated. Also, watch for the Pampered Palette advertisements in the PaintWorks Magazine.

For information about what is happening at Pampered Palette, email us at david@pamperedpalette.com or visit our website http://www.pamperedpalette.com/ which includes updated information and our online store. See you all soon.........somewhere. Until then, HAPPY PAINTING!

Sandy Scales Blue Folk Art Seminar

Well what do you do when they are calling for a hurricane in your area? Well we... got together and painted with Sandy Scales. Yes, thankfully the hurricane did not slam the Northern Virginia as we were expecting and when the weather forecasters indicated that we would only get some moderate rain and wind, we decided to go ahead with our Seminar. We had a fantastic time painting a beautiful Blue Folk Art pattern (unpublished) by Maureen McNaughton. This beautiful seminar piece took two solid days to complete and all of us were just a little bit tired when the seminar came to an end. That was a lot of painting in a two day period. Oh I forgot to mention that we did eat a little as we had homemade lazagna, Pampered Palette Slaw, brownies, apple/caramel/spice coffee cake, freshly baked Red Velvet cookies and a glass of Champagne. What a great weekend we had with Sandy. We would like to thank our friends from North Carolina that drove up for the seminar. A good time was had by all.

We wanted to share some seminar pictures with all.

HOOT was a HOOT for US!








Oh goodness what can we say about HOOT 2011. What a great show. I have read some comments about the show here on FaceBook so I thought I would give you my take on what was a very good show. Of course, we (Pampered Palette) was located on the exhibit floor and to make a point, the floor was not smaller this year. In fact, there were several new exhibitors in attendance that was not there over t...he past couple of years. It was great to see Stephs there and our good friends Elizabeth from SDP, Sandy Scales, Maureen McNaughton, Jo Lutness, Darla Foreman, Cindy Moser, Margaret Riley, Cynthia Coleman, Jillybean, Arlene Linton, Andy Jones, Judy Westegaard, and there are just so many, I know I have left out but really do not mean to.............please know that it was great seeing all of you.

We had such a great time as we were kept very busy over the days of the conference meeting new individuals, our Facebook friends, chatting, buying and of course selling. It really was a great show so those that were unable to attend, really did miss something special. The HOOT chapter members were truly a HOOT as they were always there to offer assistance or answer questions when it was needed.

Most of the time before the floor opened, we did a little shopping and ran around to all the booths/artists that painted pieces for the Museum's 100 Angels book getting the signatures of the artists. We did very well as we have over half of the signatures needed to complete my book of Angel artist signatures. Next stop is the New England Traditions (NET) show for signatures. We are flyng up for a day to attend the show (we will have have a booth at the show this year but will be advertising in their program).

There was a lot of BUZZ (had to use a HOOT term) around our booth as we featured Tatiana Sholokhova's Zhosotovo style paintings for all to enjoy. Tatiana was just at our studio two weeks ago teachng to beautiful Zhosotovo style pieces. We will be lucky enough to have Tatiana return next year (2012) to teach an absolutely stunning tray. We had many many people interested in her work and the seminar next year. We became a business sponsor of the National Museum of Decorative Arts and we brought back new wood, books and the 4 different Angels that will be added to our website for ordering.

I am sure I am forgetting a bunch of stuff, but I just wanted everyone to know that this was a great show (even though I have seen some posts that were negative about some parts of the show and SDP, which just are not true) with lots of painting, fun, chatting and of course eating by all those individuals in attendance. We have already reserved our booth space for next year's HOOT and the SDP and plan to be back even bigger and better with lots and lots of new items. Oh, do not tell anyone but we are even thinking of going to the Houston show with a booth (have to see how much driving is involved). We will probably fly out to Vegas to attend that show just to take some classes and shop the floor. In all it promises to be a great year of conferences. Stay tuned for more information or check out our website for conference information as we post it.

The conference ended around 2 pm yesterday and the race was on to pull down all the booths to get on the road home. We pulled everything down, packed and loaded the trailer in 2 hours 15 minutes (a record for us). So, we were on the road by 4:15 pm and pulled into our home around midnight (we tend to stop at all the rest areas for a little pitstop). Today it is unloading all the things from the trailer and restocking our shelves. Which reminds me, I have to place some orders as we sold out of a lot of items. Anyway, I tend to babble, it was a great show. Hopefully, those that could not attend will attend either HOOT, SDP, Houston, Vegas or NET next year. Deocrative painting is very much alive and well so why don't we all do our part to support the industry. Join SDP, visit your local decorative arts studio, encourage a non-painter to join you in painting.

Have a great and happy painting day.

Tatiana Sholokhova Seminar Day One

WOW am I tired. Yesterday was a lot of work or would that be a lot of concentra...tion. Learning the Zhostovo style of painting with Tatiana. What a great day. This is probably the first seminar I have attended that everyone was so quiet because they were concentrating on their painting. Beautiful pieces were painted. We started the seminar with a tulip pattern painted on a metal surface. Today we move on to the Rooster box. We did speak (so we were not totally quiet.....lol.), we laughed and we ate. It was just a great day of painting and learning.

What is on the agenda for today? HOMEMADE Lazagna, bread, brownies, crum cake (all homemade) and Champagne. We always like to give our attendees a little treat so we will have Champagne during lunch. Looking forward to another great day.

Also, stay tuned as Tatiana Sholokhova will be coming back to Pampered Palette for another seminar next year. We have selected two great pieces that we will post pictures of later but I can tell you that one is a fruit pattern on an metal surface and the other is LARGE metal tray with a beautiful fruit, floral and bird pattern. Absolutely, stunning. More information coming on this seminar later.

I will also post more pictures from today's seminar tomorrow morning.  Pictures below are from Day One Seminar with Tatiana.  Enjoy!
