Santa Barbara Macintosh Users Group Meeting January 20, 2011

Santa Barbara Macintosh Users Group (SBMUG) January monthly meeting, Thursday, January 20, in Farrand Hall of the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History, 2559 Puesta del Sol, Santa Barbara. 6:00-8:00 PM.

The program will begin at 7 after a general Q&A session.

Long time SBMUG member Peter Worsley started a new profession as an artist painter when he retired in the mid 1990s. After a lengthy career around computers, he naturally made them part of his new venture.
Today, Peter paints ordinary people doing everyday things, largely sourcing his figures from the thousands of photographs that he takes as he and his wife travel about town and further afield.
Peter will show us how he uses his computers to build a retrievable database of source photographs; to modify and display selected images as guides for painting; to create another archive database of images of finished paintings; and for record keeping and marketing his paintings and other products.

Everyone is welcome, but only members may enter the drawings for prizes. (You may join at the meeting for $25 per year.) Don't forget your member postcard for a free drawing ticket, and be sure to wear your name tags.
