CFWS President Pam Chock, started off our new 2021-2022 season with a lively general meeting via Zoom. There were lots of beautiful paintings and information to share!
David Williams announced the senior painting group will begin Oct. 8th, at Casselberry Art House. Contact 407-262-7700, Ext. 112 for more info. He also asked us to call Marks Street Center at 407-254-1066, to ask them to reopen for the painting group.
New Season!
Our October demo artist will be Joan Lok, who will introduce the art of sumi-e (Water and Ink Painting). She will discuss its origin, materials, and the art form’s emphasis on brushwork, by creating floral and natural subjects.
Our November demo artist will be UK watercolor artist, Tim Wilmot, teaching his loose style of watercolor from composition to finished work.
Volunteers needed! We need someone to help with our CFWS checking account. If you have one, you are qualified to help! Simple math is all that’s needed.
We also need help with our annual show. Good communication skills are all that’s needed. We have the juror, Sue Archer, signed up and need help with dates. She will conduct our workshop, at McRae studios on March 7, 8, 9, 2022.
If you have an artist you would like to watch while they do a demo for our group, please let a board member know ASAP. We still have a few spots to fill in 2022.
Membership chair, Diane Darnall, said we have 99 members.
