16 | Four Seasons Hemet Herald | JUNE 2021 | A R T Group Royce Jerman will continue to offer "Painting Pals" Tuesdays from 10 am to 1 pm and "Beading Buddies," on Wednesdays at 10 am to 1 pm in The Lodge.

Paint and Sip Night Have you ever wanted to try painting but didn't have the time, or felt intimidated? Want to meet new friends in Four Seasons? If so, come join me on Thursday night, June 17, for our first "Paint and Sip" class. I envision this being a relaxing, fun night where you will complete an acrylic painting, which I will guide you through. You can do this! The class fee is $35 which will include all supplies - you just bring your wine (or beverage of choice) and an open mind. My personal goal is to share my passion, meet new friends, and get out of my house for a fun night. Class is limited to the first six to register. Please contact alison_ wieman@yahoo.com or (951) 313-6239. If anyone will be teaching classes or workshops at The Lodge and wants to put the information in the Hemet Herald, please contact Lucia at luciakwolfer@gmail.com. Stay creative! When I was a little girl, my art was what made me special. Over the years life took over and the confidence was eroded, the creative spirit pushed aside. Because of self-doubt, intimidation. as well as responsibilities that come with age, I quit expressing myself through my art. Almost four years ago my husband and I retired and moved to Four Seasons. I took a Paint and Sip class given by former resident Lois Stipp. This was the beginning I needed to respark my artistic passion. I was able to regain the confidence I'd lost. In the meantime my husband passed of ALS. Then COVID arrived. My art has truly filled parts of my soul that were depleted by the loss of my true love and socializing outside my home. Lois has continued to meet with our art group from Four Seasons, via Zoom, from her home in Beaver Island, Michigan. Our class exhibit, along with Royce Jerman's beautiful jewelry, is in The Lodge gallery through June. Go take a look! I'm offering a Paint and Sip class the third Thursday, at 6:30 pm in the Art Room. Seating is limited. The cost is $35 including all materials and instruction. BYOB for a fun time! I really am hoping that those of you who want to just try your hand at painting will join me or will be inspired to pick up some paints and just go for it in the privacy of your home. Painting has truly saved a precious part of me that I want to share with you. ~ alison_wieman@yahoo.com The Creative Spotlight: Alison Wieman
