EDHAA General Mtg - El Dorado Hills Arts Association

Studio Tour Artist Preview…Monday, May 11, 2015
President’s Message:
We are fortunate to have such a dedicated group of artists in EDHAA! I am seeing all the
work our Board members and Committees have accomplished, working as a team to make
the 2015 Studio Tour on May 30 and 31 happen. The Studio Tour team deserves a big thank
you: Sally Allie/Applications, Marco Ippaso and Anca Statescu /Brochure Design and Joey
Cattone/Publicity and Signage. There are others too that are supporting the team; Elena
Tucker and Kathleen Moore, Treasurer, and Judy Arrigotti, past President. Anca arrived
before the April meeting to distribute brochures for the Studio Tour. It is important that every
one of them gets sent out to potential visitors. If you have extra brochures to spare, contact
Anca so she can place them with another person.
Plans for the fall Membership Show are already under way. We are in need of a couple of
volunteers for the Membership Show. If you are participating in the show, please try to help
out where you can by contacting Joey Cattone (joeycattone@comcast.net). If we all do a
little part of the whole, together it will make a big difference.
We had a very successful interview process with eight high school students applying for the
art scholarship. Rita Giannini-Martinez, Chair, Elaine Wallin, Marie Gonzales and Bonnie
Williams served as Judges. Of the eight candidates, seven were interviewed. Elizabeth
Smith, student at El Dorado High School in Placerville, was chosen for the award. All the
candidates have a passion for their art and presented well. It was interesting to see how
each plan to achieve their goals through education and creative efforts. Think about being
a Judge next year!
Our April demonstrator, Roy Moffatt, created a very nice landscape and offered a lot of tips
for the watercolorists. Lynne Edwards took photos for the Newsletter and Web page.
Attendance was especially good.
Our next meeting is the Studio Preview where all participating artists are asked to bring a
piece of their art and an easel or stand for display. Artists will share their hints of how to have
a successful Tour, talk about their art, pricing and sales techniques. It should be interesting to
talk with the artists and learn how to market our art effectively. We have also invited
Elizabeth Smith, winner of the Scholarship Award, to meet us and show us a sample of her
work.
Come and share with your fellow artists at our May meeting!
Bonnie Williams, President

opening reception on Friday, May 15, from 6:00-8:00pm. Invitation postcards will be

April Meeting Minutes submitted by Pat Woodward, Secretary:
A regular meeting of the El Dorado Hills Arts Association was called to order April 13, 2015 at
6:00pm by President Bonnie Williams. Twenty three members signed the attendance sheet.
Announcements:
Someone is needed to handle the take down of the art after the Membership Show in Harris
Center.
1. There is a Tree Planting planned at the CSD at 10:0 on Friday, April 24, at the CSD.
CSD will supply the trees and dig the holes, but community organizations are invited to
send representatives to plant the trees. Bonnie will be there, but would like a few
members from EDHAA.
The Scholarship Committee has met and selected a scholarship recipient for this year. There
were eight applicants and seven came to make their presentation. Selection Committee
members were Rita Giannini, Elaine Wallin, Maria Gonzales and Bonnie Williams. The lucky
winner is Elizabeth Smith of El Dorado High School. She plans to attend Brigham Young
University in Utah.
Lynne Edwards will take pictures of the presented for the Newsletter.
Elena announced that the new booklets with the roster are available for pick up.
Presentation:
Annette Schachner introduced Roy Moffatt to do the demonstration for the program.
Roy is self-taught with the aid of workshops. He paints in Pleine Air and from photos using
watercolor. He told that when the paper is divided into thirds both directions the four
intersections are the points of interest. In watercolor the areas that will be white need to be
left with no paint. Put down water and then add paint for soft edges. He works in layers
letting a layer dry before adding another layer. He used a sponge to put in the foliage. A
very nice scene of water and trees was produced.
Meeting adjourned at 7:45pm.
