To help plan your advertising campaigns, I am making you aware of the new publishing schedule.

2010 schedule:

Issue #1 mails approximately the last week of February.
Issue #2 mails approximately the last week of June.
Issue #3 mails approximately the last week of August. (Holiday issue)
Issue #4 mails approximately the last week of November. (Includes the Conference Special catalog)

Please note that Issue #3 is now the Holiday issue. This will give members more time to complete projects before the holidays.

Ads due:

Issue #1: December 1
Issue #2: April 1
Issue #3: June 1
Issue #4: September 1

Because of this late notice, your deadline for issue #3 has been extended to July 13th.

In This Issue:

Issue #2 of the 2010 Decorative Painter, the decorative artist’s ultimate information and creative source, is arriving now in mailboxes around the world. SDP’s full-color magazine features 144 pages of tips, trends, educational material, and lots more, including such informative features as an interview with Sharon Hamilton MDA, a look at decorative Bible boxes by regular contributor Dr. Annette LeZotte, treasurer’s and president’s reports for the last membership year, and a wrap-up of last month’s exciting and high-spirited Conference in Wichita, Kan.

And, as always, there are the projects—eighteen in this issue, in a variety of media, including:

  • An intriguing colored pencil design by Kelly Hoernig titled “Peacock Tales.”
  • The breathtaking cover piece in acrylics by Ana Maria Bernabe DACA.
  • A revival of an enchanting china painting design by the late Sonie Ames, here painted in oil by Barbara L. Culley CDA.
  • “A Little Romance” by Mami Ando MDA—maybe the sweetest Halloween design you’ll ever see.
  • A design concept by Prudy Vannier CDA that’s bringing new life (and a batch of unusual new residents) to a Michigan community.
  • An innovative acrylic double portrait by Dorothy Whisenhunt CDA, the likes of which you have never imagined.
  • A show-stopping Old Masters design in acrylics by Sharon Hamilton MDA.
  • An updated take on Hindeloopen style by the husband-and-wife team of Paul & Cathy Seymour.
  • Joyce Kostelak’s vivid, up-front watercolor hibiscus design.

…And nine more!   Read in online in the Members Only Section
