Heard some thunder maybe, so looked out to see it? Thanks, StapeRobert J.

Gruppe Gallery advertising brochure from the 1960s with a photo that shows Gruppe giving an indoor painting demonstration in that same room with the same curtains. The brochure lists four group teaching sessions weekly. Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings were outdoor student painting classes starting at 9 am at the studio. Cost was $20 for the week or $75 for a month. A single private lesson was available for $20. Thursday morning from 10 - 12 was the indoor demonstration only, no student painting. The cost to attend the demo was $2. I wish I could attend...Doug Runyanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15291636334858258148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682081471599286551.post-36371862327925009782013-07-04T07:25:44.581-04:002013-07-04T07:25:44.581-04:00Thanks Stape and thanks Al.
