President's Message - May/June 2019
Linda Happel
Spring is here! What a blessing to live in such a beautiful area.
Our April demonstration was great. Thank you Elizabeth Ingebretsen for sharing your untraditional watercolor techniques of beginning with the darker, intense colors and tying them together for a pleasing composition. In May we welcome Clark Mitchell, a renowned pastelist from Petaluma. In June, learn to photograph your own art with simple equipment! Al Tofanelli, artist, instructor, and experienced art photographer, will be our presenter. Thank you so much, Peggi Kroll Roberts, for providing these wonderful guest artists.
The show is coming together thanks to co-chairs John Sharum and Lorna Hunt. Be sure to read John’s report. on the Fine Art Show page! It should be an exciting show this year, learning and utilizing the SmarterEntry system for digital submission of entries (definitely the wave of the future)! The Prospectus for regular entries and for the high school are now online at the Fine Art Show page and if you teach or know student artists in the student age group, please encourage them to enter. It is free entry for students, one entry each, and we hope to have 40 accepted pieces in the student show.
We have our judges! Lori Hanson and Deborah Barr have agreed to judge our show in SmartEntry and also to confirm their decisions in person after the show is hung.
We have added the Tuolumne County Library venue for members to show their art free of charge, and Barbara Conley will be handling that venue. Pat Gray will continue to handle the Aloft and Anti-Coagulation. Thanks to both for helping provide these opportunities to show our art.
Please feel free to bring refreshments to the meeting May 20 th !
