February 24, 2PM – We had a docent-led tour for members of the CFWS for: Towards Impressionism – Landscape Painting from Corot to Monet, the new exhibit at the Cornell Fine Arts Museum on the Rollins College Campus in Winter Park, Florida.
We congratulated the artists who were juried into the 2018 Leu gardens Members Show!
We know everyone worked hard at their art and they would like to show their work to a large audience. Therefore, the CFWS Board has decided that later in the year we will be looking at having a non-juried online exhibit, on our website, so that all members have an opportunity to show their work to a greater audience.

After our announcements we were treated to a fascination and fun demonstration by Faye Tambrino. She started with a pour of colors and let the paint do what it wanted. Then she used a variety of tools to add textures to spark creativity. Faye is a wonderful teacher who uses humor and tips in her instruction.
She teaches watercolor at the Mayflower Retirement Community.
