Obituary for Marie A. Weis (past president's wife)
From: Joyce Eesley
Hi fellow MSC members,
I have attached the JSOnline obituary for our former president's (Bob Weis) wife. Marie was a model for us some years ago. I have been in touch with Bob's granddaughter, Leah, who also modeled for us. Leah said that Marie has been in poor health for some time but no matter the age or health she will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
Hope everyone is enjoying summer. Great weather that has been a long time coming. Hope to see some of you doing plein air painting this summer.

Costumed Model, Bayview Art in the Park 6/21; 7/12/19/26; 8/2,9
From: rockinredhead <rockinredhead52@gmail.com>
Subject: Draw a costumed model at Bayview Art in the Park!
Last
Sat June 14th I modeled dressed as a Geisha at Zillman Park during
Bayview Art in the Park. The artists who came loved it and a few
families even had children who stopped & drew for a bit or took
photos with me. Brian Breider, the organizer of the event has decided to
let me do this all of the Saturdays that I was originally just going to
be a vendor.
I will be back this Sat June 21st from 11am-3pm and the following dates as well:
July 12, 19, 26
August 2 & 9
This Sat I will likely be dressed as a fairy similar to the top photo. The second one is from when I posed at Ink Spot Tattoo during Bayview Gallery Night. The bottom photo is from last Saturday. I will be in a different costume & have a different set up/theme each week! There will be a tip basket out if you wish to show your appreciate. :-) Please tell your artist friends! I am also looking to do this at events throughout the Summer so if anyone has any ideas please let me know!
Creatively yours,

Milwaukee Sketch Club at Colectivo Coffee on Lakefront 5:30pm on 6/17/14
10 of us showed up. The weather was perfect, sunny with a slight breeze and the lakefront flies that like to bite your ankles didn't come out till dusk (about 7:30pm).
However, it was quite busy and noisy at the lakefront. People were walking exercising, rush hour traffic was passing. Colectivo had seating both outside at the tables and on the grass. Plenty of parking across the street.
Exit to lakefront was closed so had to get off on a different ramp which was really backed up. Traffic was crazy!
Lakefront is probably a little quieter on weekday mornings when we used to go paint.
Next week is VA at 5000 W. National Ave.

East Troy Electric Railroad substation
This tourist electric railroad http://www.easttroyrr.org/ is operated and run by volunteers, so if you're looking to drive a train or help out.... The people are real friendly. The engineer moved a car out for us to paint before they started running at 10am. According to their website you can ride as long as you like with one ticket.
Sunny, windy, felt coolish. Lost of interesting shadows and reflections in the glass of the icecream shop. 3 of us showed up and then decided 2 blocks down the track from the railroad museum to the giant garage where the working cars are stored.
Thank you John for the pictures!
