Meeting—New Location! 7:00 P.M., Oct 22, 2009 Boys & Girls Club of Gig Harbor 8502 Skansie Avenue Gig Harbor, Wa 98332 main phone 253 502-4670 October Program—Robin Peterson presents: ―The Gate to the Arctic‖ - Art and Adventure! AMERICA'S SECOND BEST IDEA You've heard of "America's Best Idea," the National Park System, right? No? Tune in to Ken Burns PBS special and be inspired. In 1916 the US Congress created the National Park Service with a mandate to; "conserve the scenery and natural and historic objects and the wildlife therein and to provide for the enjoyment of same in such a manner and by such means as will leave them unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations." It would have been simpler for them to just say; "save it for the artists." Keep it for those who will remind us of what America is all about when we forget. Who knew that we would need it so badly? Clearly, creating the Artist in Residence Program in the National Parks must have been America's second best idea. Artists were integral in selling the NPS idea to the public and to congress back in 1916. Today the artist advocate and interpreter has a similarly vital role in reintroducing us to our national wilderness heritage as pressures of expansion, commercialism and climate change push against the NPS mandate to conserve, protect and leave unimpaired. How do you measure the value of the haunting cry of a loon, the wolf chorus at dusk? How do you measure the value of locking eyes with a bear, of walking the caribou highway? What is the value of a dollar bill against the snowstorm? It is the blessing and burden of artists' to remind a culture as rich as ours that we don't have far to go to find paradise. A National Park near you is a good place to start. The nooks and crannies of paradise are ours to rediscover and value now or lose forever. Being an explorer at heart, I often choose to go a little further out of the way. This year it was quite a lot further. I found paradise at the top of the world as artist in residence in Alaska's Gates of the Arctic National Park. I'm looking forward to sharing that experience with you in slides, artwork and commentary during PAL's October 22nd meeting, 7 PM at the new Boys & Girls Club in Gig Harbor. Check out my website under 'sketchbook' for a preview, www.fernwoodstudio.com See you there. 1 Robin Peterson.

We have so many new beginnings this year: lots of new members, a new meeting place (The Gig Harbor Boys and Girls Club), and many new fun activities. Please make sure to share with your board members your ideas, information on exhibiting or educational opportunities, as well as your needs or ideas for programs and workshops. Our PAL goal is to increase public awareness of the wide range of artists in our locale, give artists an opportunity to exhibit and market their work, and to provide educational opportunities through various programs and scholarships. An unspoken goal is to support artists by getting them out of their studios to inspire and connect them with other artists in the community. These are tough times for artists, but there are also amazing opportunities. One of these is a charitable event that will give artists and opportunity to be seen at Tacoma Art Museum- see the article (page 7) on the ―Chair Affair‖. Another opportunity is the new Still Life Group, starting just in time to maybe produce some entries for upcoming competitions- see the Still Life Group article. Yet another activity to support our artists will be upcoming program on pricing your artwork (especially in this economy) that we hope to have next year. I personally am taking my enforced time off (I lost my ―day job‖ earlier this year) to take a view of employment opportunities relating to art work, and to expand my art horizons. I am haunting the Artist Trust website for job opportunities and Calls for Artists. I am reading more books on art from the library, I am watching films on art and art history from Netflix, and thanks to the digital conversion (I have an antenna)- I have discovered good art programs on Create TV (part of PBS). My favorite program is on Plein Air Painting (of course!) called Passport and Palette. I have taken time to visit galleries and museums. When I spot something good to share- show or program or book- I will try to list in an ―Artist Enrichment‖ column in our Palette Newsletter. I usually only work in Pastels, but I have also been oil painting ―en plein air‖ this summer. I am doing a large koi sculpture for my garden, and many mosaic projects. I have taken the opportunity to travel to an International art conference and to take part in a regional Plein Air Paint Out. All these things are really getting my mind flowing creatively, making new connections to fellow artists, and developing my art work. I think of serving as PAL President as part of ―giving back‖ to the art community that has been so supportive of me. Please watch for opportunities where you can help PAL too- you’ll find you are the one who gains the most! Anne Knapp, PAL President Artist Enrichment Ideas: Tacoma Art Museum- great exhibits starting October 24th (impressionism, NW Art) Create TV- part of PBS has great Art series- Passport and Palette (several media), Beauty of Oil Painting, Painting Wild Places (watercolor), more… Ck your cable listings (it’s channel 112 on Comcast), if you have an antenna like me, it is on 9.3, 15.3, & 28.4 Peninsula Library: ―Aspire: 200 projects to Strengthen your Art Skills‖, ―the Group of Seven‖, ―Beloved Land, World of Emily Carr‖.

Than ks—Cheryl Werner FASTFRAME Gig Harbor, WA (253) 853-FRAME http://www.fastframe.com/storeLocations/store.php?id=3879 You can bring in pictures through November 14. Here is a sneak preview of one of the paintings that will be in the 2010 Foss calendar. I learned today that they accepted my candidate painting for this year. I took the reference photo from my stateroom on the Westerdam as we were pulling away from the pier for an Alaska cruise last year which gave me a good and somewhat unusual perspective for the picture. I was last accepted for their calendar in the year 2000 so I have to admit that it was a thrill to make it again. Doug Michie My husband Robert and I have just launched a free art workshop listing service on the internet, http://www.artistworkshops.net/. We would like artists and art organizations to feel free to post and publicize their workshops and seminars or find one that fits their needs.

OCTOBER VIDEO REVIEW We have just added a new DVD to our library entitled Seven Secrets of Painting Reflections in Watercolor by Steve Rogers. In this 98 minute DVD, Steve walks us through one painting of two sailboats from start to finish. He is primarily a painter of marine subjects, and has been teaching for over 30 years. I didn’t think his “7 secrets” revealed as much useful information as I had hoped, but maybe some of you might find something new in his material. I won’t have a chance to get this DVD into our library at Fastframe before this newsletter comes out, but I will bring it to our next meeting for checking out. Cecile Anderson The Tuesday Go Figure model sessions have resumed at Donna Trent's Studio. Artists are welcome to drop in any Tuesday and should bring their own easel. We meet from 10:00 am - 2:00 p.m. Tuesdays except for the 2nd Tuesday of the month. $10 goes towards paying the model's fee.

I am taking part in a fun event to benefit the Furniture Bank called the “Chair Affair”. This organization provides furniture for foster kids, domestic violence agencies, etc. They are having a benefit auction that will be held at the Tacoma Art Museum on March 4th, 2010. Artists who decorate a chair for the auction will get to attend the gala event for free, have their photo and bio with their chair; and that info will also be used in the program, and publicity. The deadline for the finished chair is February 5th, 2010. You must register to take part- email Dion Rurik at drurik@gmail.com to get guidelines, etc. I bought some chairs (15 chairs for $10! ) at St Vincent de Paul in Tacoma. I have a few chairs left at my house available for this project and the Furniture Bank will also try to arrange for a chair for you if you don’t already have a “spare” chair to donate. They need cool artsy looking chairs that will command a bidding war. You can also use related furniture items (like a bench, etc), or maybe a small sculpture chair or piece of jewelry chair, or a chair pot! Who knows- your imagination is the limit (check with Dion if you think it’s too “Out there”!). Contact Anne Knapp for more information at 26567000r at annemknapp@gmail.com The October 1, 2 and 3rd Oil Painters of America Paint Out in Gig Harbor was a wonderful success, even though the weather did not cooperate all the time. Twenty three artists participated coming from as far away as Port Angeles and Whidbey Island. Different media were represented and 17 paintings of Gig Harbor executed over these days are displayed for the month of October at Harbor Gallery. One painting from each artist was hung for the exhibit. A good time was had by all, and there is talk of a paint out for next year . Pat Meras, Dianne Gardner, Mary Stroeing and Mikki Parkhurst were a few of the artists who enjoyed painting plein air in Gig Harbor— in spite of the chilly weather. 7 PAL minutes - Sept 22, 2009 Meeting held at Uddenberg State Farm meeting room, Gig Harbor Members present: Myrna Binion, Anne Knapp, Mary McInnis, Susan Blaise, Sheri Weitzel, Nan Feagin, Cec Anderson, Patty McQuillin, Russ and Christy Camerer, Arvid Anderson, Called to order at 10:05 by Myrna Election – Susan Blaise offered to do publicity for PAL. Still need a partner for Carol Lemon for programs. Transition to new roster of officers will take place in Oct meeting. Election was held at the September general meeting. Equipment – all equipment is at Myrna’s house and needs to be removed as soon as possible. Regional Show is on track; Sherry Weitzel volunteered to coordinate set up of the reception which will take place on Friday, October 9th from 6 to 8pm; set up is at 5:30pm at the Gig Harbor Civic Center; Myrna will MC the reception; Russ and Christy will take care of the grids for hanging; Charli Glock-Jackson will write an article for GH Life; ads in TNT, Kitsap Sun; recommend a poster blitz and/or email blitz with a link to the PAL website rather than rack cards. The show runs from Oct 5 to Nov 13. We need docents to volunteer for the show. Upcoming PAL shows – the Winter Member’s show is scheduled to be in January 2010 at the Kimball Gallery, with the Spring Member’s show possibly at the new Boys and Girls club building. Boys and Girls club site – next years’ meetings are scheduled already beginning with the October 2009 meeting; the Holiday party is scheduled for December 17th from 7 to 9pm; a room with a kitchen is already rented; we would like to store some equipment there – will have to find out the possibilities; overhead mirror needs a home; possible trades may be available in lieu of rent; also a possible show site. Grant Opportunity through the Pierce County Arts Commission; the deadline is October 16 th; it is for art festivals, community programs, non-profit, regional show, etc; perhaps a grant for a PAL member to teach at B&G club – this is something that can be discussed at a member meeting; GH Arts Commission may not be giving any grants next year, so this sounds like an alternative possibility. Chair Affair Auction – fundraiser for the Furniture Bank; Anne Knapp has chairs for artists to transform for the auction to take place at Tacoma Art Museum; artists can provide bio and photo to go along with chair; artists will have free admission to gala; deadline for delivery is February 5th, 2010; the auction takes place during the first week of March. Gifts for Outgoing Officers – Daniel Smith gift certificates were discussed. Meeting adjourned at 11:03 pm Respectfully submitted by Mary McInnis 2009 Report from Scholarship Committee Chair—Sherrie Bonsell The members of our PAL Scholarship Committee got together in March, April, and June of 2009 at the three area high schools and formed decisions towards granting four student art scholarships. The first two were at Peninsula High School, where Alice Rowson and Nathan Iversen were selected after viewing their scholarship notebooks and viewing their work. On June 20, they each were awarded their grants of $750 towards their arts program. Alice is interested in developing her skills in photography and enjoys working with glass art. Nathan has also set goals for advancing his photography skills. The third scholarship was given on June 4, at Gig Harbor High School, to Ashley Careaga for $500. Ashley is interested in photography along with graphic design. On June 10, Jordan Guerrero, from Henderson Bay High School, received a $500 art scholar8 ship towards advancing his skills in food styling. MacKechnie-Riley Workshop: by Palette Reporter Pat Rush I was fortunate to attend the three-day workshop on Fox Island presented by Joe MacKechnie and Dan Riley. It felt like two weeks because of all the valuable and varied information they gave us. Topics included tips on developing your own personal style, design principles, common armatures (the diagrams of constructing your artwork), art history, composition, understanding the color wheel. It was dealing with any media the students chose to use with videos, lectures, exercises, critiques and how a juror looks at a show and decides who gets in and wins awards. They gave the students so much to work with and were very inspiring with their demonstrations. When we approach a scene, for instance, we should get the inspiration from the scene but paint what we don't see, paint the "essence" and remember we aren't cameras, we are artists! Making decisions about the composition, the focal point and doing a value sketch is so important to do before we begin the painting. If it doesn't work in black and white, it won't work in color. Create art OFTEN, throw paint and push your limits! Dan Riley teaching (above) above—Nan Feagin working on artwork design Joe’s art sample (below)—Portrait by Riley Above—Joe and Cec Anderson discussing work—below—Charli Meacham painting Photos by Pat Rush Subject: Dan and Joe Portrait Workshop Greetings to all of our Art Composition and Personal Style Alumni, Our next Creative Portrait Drawing and Painting Workshop is scheduled for next month in Bothell (Oct 23, 24, 25 from 9am – 4pm daily). We have an inquiry from at least one PAL member who is interested in attending but is concerned about the commute. I was thinking that because some of you also seemed interested in the portrait workshop we might be able to set up a carpool or vanpool from Gig Harbor to Bothell. At least, if a few of you sign up you will be able to use the HOV lanes all the way and cut down on the commute time somewhat. It might also be fun and make the trip SEEM shorter than it actually is! Joe and I could sweeten the pot a little in order to help with the gas by giving PAL members a rate of $240 instead of our usual $250 fee. That way, the more that sign up the cheaper will be the gas expense. Joe & Dan Don’t Forget—Members’ Screening precedes the October 22 Meeting—there will not be another chance to screen before the PAL Members Show in January, 2010.
