DORIS RUNYAN WILL BE OUR APRIL DEMONSTRATOR (PASTEL) I am a retired cosmetologist who loves fine art. I paint portraits of people, pets & landscapes from photographs of our vanishing landmarks. I started drawing at the age of 6 years, but never had the opportunity to go to Art School. I am basically a selftaught artist who has been blessed with a God given talent. I paint in pastels and oils, a little in watercolor and acrylic, but I prefer the medium of pastel. The City of Dinuba has a collection of my paintings as well as many others in private homes and abroad.

Tem Gail Daley Gene Butler

Vice President Toni Magyar

Secretary Fran Leighton

Treasurer Alice Sutton

I am known best for my paintings of grapes on the vine. I have won several awards for my grape paintings including Best of Show, first; second and third place awards, and numerous honorable mentions from ACA and SWA. I also received A Best of show from the Pastel Society of the West and the Mary Crouse award Inside this issue: for Artistic Merit given by the Clovis Art Guild of Clovis, CA. I am a Signature Member of the ACA and a member of the Kingsburg Art President’s Message 2 Association; my paintings can be seen at the Kingsburg Art Gallery.

I attended one semester at Reedley College with instructor James Soares. I have studied with Anita Wolf, Paul Buxman, Sally Seago, Jacqueline Starkey, and many other fine artists who have helped me further my knowledge of art. I appreciate all the people who have supported me to get me where I am today. I love to share what God has given me with others and I hope the art I produce will serve as a reminder of memories to cherish.

NEXT EXCHANGE FOR OUR STOREFRONT GALLERY WILL BE TUESDAY, MAY 1 @ 5:00 P.M.

11 Copyright Myths - by Brad Templeton (reprinted by permission)

MYTH NO 10: "They e-mailed me a copy, so I can post it." To have a copy is not to have the copyright. All the E-mail you write is copyrighted. However, E-mail is not, unless previously agreed, secret. So you can certainly report on what E-mail you are sent, and reveal what it says. You can even quote parts of it to demonstrate. Frankly, somebody who sues over an ordinary message would almost surely get no damages, because the message has no commercial value, but if you want to stay strictly in the law, you should ask first. On the other hand, don't go nuts if somebody posts E-mail you sent them. If it was an ordinary non-secret personal letter of minimal commercial value with no copyright notice (like 99.9% of all E-mail), you probably won't get any damages if you sue them. Note as well that, the law aside, keeping private correspondence private is a courtesy one should usually honour.

MYTH NO11 WILL CONCLUDE THIS SERIES. IT WILL BE COVERED IN NEXT MONTH’S ISSUE IF WE HAVE ROOM

Thanks Claudia!

We would like to thank Claudia Fletcher for donating a print of this year’s Clovis Rodeo Poster to the Guild. Tickets will be available at the Art Show and at the April Meeting.
