Kevin Graduated with BFA in illustration
from Art Center College of Design in
1973. He has been a freelance illustrator
for almost 4 decades, working with local
ad agencies and designers, as well as
national publishers. Around 2001 he
began to take a watercolor class from
noted exhibitor at the Watercolor
Gallery in Laguna Beach, Barbara
Stutheit. It was in her class that a fellow
student gave Kevin a few sheets of Yupo
plastic synthetic “paper”. He tried in on
an illustration and liked it so well that
he used it on a seascape in the class,
and has been using it almost exclusively
ever since for watercolor. “The Yupo
and Plein Air Painting are a perfect
match for my style of painting,” he
notes. “The ability to completely lift the
paint allows for great flexibility when on
location, and when I get back to the
studio, I can take my time for cleanup
without fear of overworking. I love the
freshness and intensity of color I get
with it.”
Past President of The Southern
California Plein Air Painters Association,
member of San Clemente and Orange
Art Associations,

President's Column by Bob Mussay
I sincerely hope that everyone had a healthy, happy
holiday and is looking forward to a successful 2015.
Our annual meeting and member's party was very well
attended and all had a good time.
For those who were not able to be there, the
financial presentation by our Treasurer, Bruce Bartells
highlighted some good news and some not good
news. The good news was that Gallery sales were well
ahead of last year, which might indicate that the
economy is beginning to turn around. The not so
good news was that our total revenue stream is not
keeping pace with our total expenses. We did have a
couple of major non-recurring Gallery expenses which
drove up expenses, but the area we need to improve is
our membership. We all need to be COAL
ambassadors and actively recruit new members. We
can solicit people coming through the Gallery, our
neighbors and friends, fellow art school students and
even artists from other associations.
As we move forward in 2015 we will be looking to
create more opportunities for sales. We have added
"unframed oil". We will hold three show-in-show
events this year in addition to our small image show in
December. The planned categories are "water",
"black and white" and "fall." We will be participating
in
in two Carlsbad Street Faires, one in May the other
in November, as well as holding our own COAL
Art Faires in June and August. We will continue to
look for new opportunities for you and if any
member has an idea please let us know.

January's Featured Artist - Alan Katof
I have been involved in Education and Art in New York for over forty years. Early
in these pursuits I dabbled in crafts such as candle making and stained glass. I
spent two years teaching these crafts and selling my own work. That endeavor
became meshed with my teaching in the elementary school, and evolved into
digital photography, and the more technical aspects of printing photographs using
computers.
As I evolved from film photography to digital photography, the computer
classroom became my laboratory. Sharing my interests with the elementary school
children that I taught, and with colleagues too, became the motivation to explore
and develop my own skills. I used photography as a tool to motivate and to teach.
At the same time, I became motivated by the children I taught, and by the beautiful
photography produced by one of my very talented colleagues.
Today, I try to capture a little bit of the beauty that surrounds us, and share that beauty via my
photography. I love to photograph flowers and what better place to do that than in California. I love to
travel our country and the world, and photograph almost all that I see. I like to smile when I look at my
photographs, and I hope that you do too.
