      We all have pictures that we would like to improve. Now is your chance to make these or other changes. Bring in the picture and as a group we will help you achieve your dreams. Maybe there is something in the background you would like to lose, change or just make less noticible. Is it too dark or too light on not enough contrast? You might want to give it some sort of special treatment. Make it look like it is a sketch, on canvas, or an oil painting. Then there is always the desire to add or take out a person. This is the last meeting before summer so line up your summer projects. Bring your questions.
