Good showing!
Four paintings we do not know the artists names. I think I recognized style,
but not certain whose. Do you recognize
the artists? Let me know who you are.
Push your art & your skills. If you are
not frustrated with your creative abilities you are not growing as an artist.

May Program: Rom LaVediere demonstrated the process of creating prints
using solar plates. Rom, a graduate of St. Johns University in Minnesota earned BFA with emphasis on printmaking. For 55 years he was involved in some form of
printing, whether it was print shop manager @ St. Martin’s University of teaching graphic communication.
Rom introduced A Solar Plate printmaking to our
members which is non-toxic approach to making prints.
An informative enjoyable demonstrations….mmmmm,
my loss to miss this demo. Even though I may never
use a certain technique it sure gives me a better understanding how some processes/things are achieved.

Fumiko Kimura said it was
difficult to make choices as
there were others worthy of mentioning. She concluded: 1)Personal emotional response, “painting ‘spoke to her”,
2)Techniques; unique use of material
media.
3)Visal impact based on compositional

of w/c media, stimulating energetic
brush work in a work in a peaceful
composition.
2nd Place: Perspective suggested by
cut up material worked well with surprise large pine needle in foreground.
3rd Place: What a provocative painting! ‘out of the box’ approach; no shadows to suggest 3dimentionnality, only
the sun’s warmth; no depth….many questions remained. Did the artist paint without thinking of the rules of design, but expressed pure interest in painting from the heart. If so, I appreciated for that courage.
Honoring Peggy Peterson: Has originality in barren tree treatment & near abstraction in the expression toward
simplifying the middle & distant forms. Viewers usually enjoy seeing living object like animals, birds, insect, etc.
incorporated in the art as they feel connected to the imagery in a personal way.
