Marilynne Bradley’s painting Rothenburg and Janine Helton’s painting Introspective were accepted by juror Linda Baker in the Georgia Watercolor Society’s 41st National Exhibition 2020. The exhibition will be at Oglethorpe University Museum of Art, 4484 Peachtree Rd NE, Atlanta, GA 30319, Mar 14 – Apr 28, with awards announced on Mar 28th.
Janine shared her painting with us:
Our members, Mary Ellen Maender, lead instructor, along with the help of Diana Leszcz, Jeanne Thomas, and Kathy Dowd as an alternate, volunteer their time once a month to conduct a class in watercolor painting at a nursing home. The paintings are placed in a mat and posted around the nursing home when finished. The residents just love it! The participants’ spirits are lifted while they paint and then their paintings brighten the spirits of the residents as they view them throughout the home.
If you would like to donate paper, 11″ x 14″ mats, brushes or paint, please contact Mary Ellen Maender. Your help with supplies would be greatly appreciated.
Here are some photos of the volunteers with the group and their artwork:
Here are some photos from last night’s Urban Sketching event at the Kirkwood Theatre Guild. The sketchers sketched the play, “Other Desert Cities,” during their dress rehearsal. Although very challenging, the artists really enjoyed this event.
