There were twice as many artists in attendance as last month. They got together for discussion of business and activities.
A demonstration by Diane Baer of some of her watercolors stimulated a Talk-Around of how we each got started in art
Some of us started early in life and knew we were artists, while others picked it up later on, after families were grown.
There are plans for group exhibits in local businesses, as well as an Art Walk in the summertime.
They initiated the Artist of the Month program. Artists brought a piece of work, which can be 2- or 3-dimensions, and all in attendance voted by secret ballot.
Here, Jane describes her process.
The winning artwork is exhibited in the front window of KAA until the next meeting. This is the Piece that won the Artist of the Month this time. It is a digital painting by Jana Russon.
So, if you are an artist, or interested in art, come join us on the 2nd Thursday of each month. Dues for artists are only $20 for the year, and $5 for students. Get the word out. Invite someone to come with you next meeting — March 13.
