You might try posting on the Painting For Fun and Profit forum on Delphi (www.delphiforum.com). The site is dedicated to decorative painting and many of the members have attended painting seminars. You could try Tolefriends (www.tolefriends.com). Also, you might contact The Apple Tree (www.appletreeinc.net) as they are a shop that hosts painting seminars. You could always try the Society of Decorative Painters (many resources there) or chapters of the SDP in the area a seminar may have been held, it's quite possible that members may have attended the seminar and still have their pattern. Good luck! Sherlea

I have read some of the commentary about these portraits and find it very enlightening. My first reaction to them was than I liked his and not hers. That's still my overall feeling, but I find knowing more about the portraits really interesting. For example, the background in Barack Obama's portrait contains flowers from places of significance in his life. And the pose evokes a well-known portrait of Lincoln. That connection to Lincoln is a strong statement, IMO I think it is worth knowing more about the symbolism in these paintings. Just one of many articles: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/posteverything/wp/2018/02/13/a-surprising-influence-on-obamas-portrait-abraham-lincoln/?utm_term=.1d5dcbd37a5f I also think insisting that art depicting the Obamas should fit into a pre-existing white Presidential mold is denying the value of diversity in both art and politics.

Those ticket prices are nuts! I wonder if those were from 3rd party sellers? For the three of us it was $350 and we're in the lower level. That's on par with what I pay for concert tickets, so I figured it was a fair price. I had a presale code, but to get that I was in a lottery! I had to do the same thing for Rolling Stones tickets last month-and those cost me more than these tickets did for nosebleed seats. My Aunt was trying to get tickets for the appearance in Tacoma, WA but it sold out before she could get them. I know they went on sale to the general public today, they're likely sold out also. I'd have loved to do a meet & greet but that was far too spendy-over $1500! I'll settle for seeing her from 20 yards away!
