Paint Party Friday: Week 52, Year 10 Check-In

Welcome to Week 52 of Year 10 here at Paint Party Friday. We continue to hope you are all safe and healthy in this time of social distancing, and that art is helping to alleviate the stress of this unprecedented situation.

It is almost PPF's 10th Anniversary. We started on March 18th, 2011 and because there are a few more days in the year than an even 52 weeks, we are a bit askew in our countdown so we will add a few weeks to Year 10 until we get closer to the actual anniversary - March 19th, 2021.

We had been planning to have a last big party and then call it quits. 10 years has been a great run for a painting party and place to show your art. With the continuing COVID-19 restrictions to our lives, we are thinking another year might be warranted. We love that many of you are still coming to the party every week. Thank you so much! We don't know though if PPF plays an important part in your life or if it is just one of many events you participate in regularly and how or if it's absence will affect you? If you'd like to email us as we ponder this, please do so at paintpartyfriday at gmail dot com (You know... written like that to reduce spambot activity... or use the link near the upper right side below the banner.)

Meanwhile... back to our "regularly scheduled program"... This week random.org chose #24 - Erica (Watercolor Sketchbook). Erica showed us more of her sketchbook pages from her travels. Please drop by and see the rest!

As always, please make sure to use your post URL address NOT your blog home page URL address as there are many late visitors who get confused as to which post is for PPF when they arrive (after Friday) at your website. If you are unfamiliar with Mr. Linky, an explanation of how this tool works can be found on Year 1, Week 1.


Have an inspired and creative week!
