The Members Selection of local work was a watercolor by
Brenda Beatty of St Albans, WV. This piece, titled "Minnie Bowers",
is a portrait which is a well done watercolor for such a small format. The use
of complementary colors is easy on the eyes, but it is the quirky composition
that separates this work from more conventional pieces and demands our
attention. And, though we don't know Minnie Bowers we can infer a lot from the
sparkle in her eyes.</div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">As an exhibition juror, I am drawn to works of
art that introduce subject matter, content and the formal elements (line,
color, shape, form, composition, etc.) in interesting and fresh ways. These are
the tools artists employ to explore and/or challenge traditional norms. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">There are also parameters established by the
competition’s sponsors that must be weighed. For example, in the case of a
miniature show, one must make judgments based on how successful a piece is
given the imposed boundaries – or in spite of those limitations. There were an
exceptionally large number of strong entries submitted to this show. Thus,
arriving at ten finalists was tough.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">The Award of Excellence went to Ariko Watanabi’s
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Sunbather</i>. Not only is the painting
striking for its attention to detail, dynamic composition and bold color but
the subject, a cat, is portrayed in a way that captures the true “nature” of
the species. Watanabi depicts a feline calmly basking in the sun and in this
case avoids the more common “cute” interpretation. At any scale, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Sunbather </i>would be an excellent
painting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">The First Place Award goes to Beverly
Fotheringham’s <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">All Aboard</i>, which
features a view of a train’s mechanical parts and railroad tracks. The diagonal
and cropped point of view adds to the sense of mystery that might cause the
viewer to question for a moment, “what happening here?” What is immediately
obvious is that the subject is man-made, intricate and powerful. Subject matter
aside, the artist’s even treatment and acknowledgment of the painting’s edges
results in a compositionally sound painting. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Wednesday Drawing Classes are starting oil painting portraits.
Yes, painting in oils. First up is to select a large, 8x10 photo to use as a reference.
Then make several black & White copies. Cheap, copier copies that can be drawn

</tbody></table>
Everyone in class drew a white plastic fork.<br />
<br />
<br />
Or tried to.<br />
<br />
<br />
If you think this is easy try it.<br />
<br />
Place the fork next to you on your drawing pad and draw it as accurately as possible. This includes all the shades of "white" on this white fork.<br />

of a three dimensional scene, whether it be a portrait, landscape or still
life. The subject may stretch across a table, a room, the yard or to the
horizon, but is reproduced on the single plane of paper or canvas. Adding depth
to the reproduction increases the representation of reality. The work becomes
more alive, more lifelike and gives more sense of being there.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Workshop will focus on the use of Linear Perspective in the
creating art or illustrations of three dimensional subjects in a two
dimensional drawing or painting – how to draw things so that appear to be solid
objects and not flat objects and how to relate them to each other.</span><br />

Leona Mackey, a long time art instructor at Huntington High
School transitioned from ceramics and painting to dichroic and reactive glass
in sterling jewelry pieces. Now she is concentrating on unique fine art works
featuring fired glass in stainless steel mounts, either as wall hangings or
free standing pieces. She received the first place award in the 2009 West
Virginia Emerging Artist Exhibit.</div>

opened another world of creating with color. Using this glass, she is more
aware of composition as well as color. Her work is ever changing, so there is
never two of a kind. The dichroic glass can be combined with the reactive
glass, adding a whole new dimension to her work. </div>

Tuesday evening was warm and sunny. A huge change from what
we had reluctantly become used to. This winter has been totally hard on us! But
spring is here and time to break out the lighter jackets and be out and about.
Such a joy to be out and about and at the opening reception of a new art show.
This time not in our own gallery, but across the river in Proctorville at Ohio
University, Southern Proctorville Center.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

The last few months the artists of the Renaissance Art
Gallery have not been mopping around (much!) but busy in their studios creating
fine art. It shows. The walls at UO are blooming with new artwork. And we got
to interact with the art students attending classes at Ohio University.</div>

Friday and Saturday nights we also had the change to show
our stuff to a new audience, those attending Arts Resources for the Tri-States
presentation of Pirate of Penzences. Pati Payne and Susan Tschantz worked hard
to present each of the artists of the gallery to patrons arriving for the
dinner theater and show.<br />
