SAMPLE SET of oil paints
This offer is good until the end of the year!
I just received a 'sample set' of oils from Jack Richeson & Co. They are high quality, made in Kimberly, WI and have a nice range of colors. The six 37ml tubes were $29.90 which included shipping. About $5 a piece and an excellent value for the quality. The set included yellow ochre, rose madder (like alizarine but less staining or dominant ['plays well with others']), prussian blue (like ultramarine with some phthalo blue in it so more 'true' blue and very vibrant), sap green (no mix green!), burnt umber (good ol' brown) and titanium white. Their advertising says "colors may vary". You can call your order in and use your credit card.

Monday, April 5 Get-Together
It was brought to our attention that many folks are unable to get to the monthly Thursday evening get-togethers because of Thursday evening conflicts. So, instead, we are now meeting on the 5th of each month. Hopefully, this will be easy to remember. (Of course, with the date change, the day of the get-together will also change, but if you just remember "AOTA -5", it should be easy.
This coming Monday, April 5, we will be gathering at Grand Lake Elementary School Art Room for a presentation by Corinne Lively, who will walk us through a step-by-step procedure for downloading your images onto your computer and manipulating the dpi to match the requirements of the show or gallery you are hoping to enter. Corinne will demonstrate using her computer with a power point presentaion, so everyone can follow along. Bring some of your images and she can help you. It is spring break for the school district, but we have been granted permission to use the room. Same time as always: 5:30-7:30 PM. Hope to see you there. Many thanks to Corinne who is donating her time for us!

Brock McCormick's Show
"Feathers"
"Dust"From his artist statement, "As an ecologist, I view landscapes as processes, driven by natural forces. As an artist, they are shapes, forms and textures. As a person, I view landscapes as experiences. All of these perspectives are incorporated into my works, which explore my relationship with landscape.
My artwork relies on nature as a true collaborator. Found objects are innately embedded with meaning. For example, metal is a symbol of industry, while rust demonstrates the resilience of nature, the passage of time, and the beauty of change. Rusted metal is a point where man and nature meet. My ink works are inspired by Zen brushwork and calligraphy. Negative space plays an important role in these works as forms are simplified, distilled and expressed as only a few practiced brushstrokes."
It's a great show - I hope you can make it this Saturday. You can see more of his work here.
