Alicia Popoff

Members of SWAA extend deepest sympathy to Les Potter upon the death of his wife Alicia. Les Popoff has had a presence with our association as a judge at Reflections and as an instructor at SRVAS. He and his late wife were very involved in the art community in the province.

Read obituary ...... Star Phoenix

Not sure how long it stays online with the Star Phoenix - so have copied it here.

Was a cold and icy night for our Potluck & Paint session last night - so there was not a huge turnout. An accident on the North Bridge had traffic backed up for hours, but luckily it was traffic we were meeting, so it didn't slow us down. Those who came out had a great and relaxing time. Jewel Buhay from Allan worked on an alcohol ink tile under the watchful eye of Lori Merkle. Cam Merkle from Martensville used some of his woodburning tools to do some work.  Holly Edwards worked on a preliminary sketch for a cake topper that she is developing (My Custom Cake Topper). I (Beth Campbell) worked on a chimpanzee painting on a leaf. Lola Hingtgen didn't bring a piece to work on so enjoyed a relaxing time with her husband Charlie and my husband Doug watching others.

Good food + good company + good talent = GREAT TIME in spite of the cold.

(Obviously some of us are hardier than others.)
