Once again, we were given an opportunity to host one of the monthly Coffee and Donuts events, and, on June 27, we used the morning to present a wall-to-wall display of our art. Fourteen of our members brought in about seventy five pieces of art for the enjoyment and review of our neighbors. About 150 people were treated to this exhibit, and their comments were very complimentary of our efforts. These photos show several views of the art, including our new Art Association banner that was created by Greg Gale.

 

 

 

Bob Weikel stands next to several examples of his art. They give insight into his versatility as an artist. He continually challenges himself by selecting new mediums for his art as shown in these done in four different media.

J. Marshall Dyke

Our June 10th meeting features Hull artist, John Marshall Dyke who gave us a very informative watercolor demo. About 30 members and a few guests followed every move as John took us through his presentation, with help from his friend, Marie.

The Boston Light was John's subject and he explained his process as the watercolor was created. He does little drawing of his planned art, instead he "draws " with his brush as he develops his painting.

John gave us a little extra demo as he created a separate piece. He quickly dashed off several,random, wet on wet washes of color that were later turned into a loose still life of a bouquet of flowers by adding some carefully placed brush strokes. Very effective technique.

Norma Brown was the lucky winner of the demonstration artwork that John donated for a raffle...and one of our members was able to buy the small painting of the flowers. All in all, it was a very full afternoon of art for art lovers.
