Spring Show set up

When I popped into the Art Gallery at Patriot Place I found four people diligently working toward hanging all the beautiful submitted work.

Frank Quinn, FAA president, and FAA member
Steve Cross hang the pastel section of the show

What a talented membership we have!

Please excuse the blurry photo of Paula dePierro, FAA treasurer,
and FAA member Nancy Bacevich. They were moving so fast hanging
labels and getting things in order this was the best I could get! 

Our reception is this Saturday, March 10, 2012 from 2-5pm. Will you join us?

Final Meeting Until September 2011

We held our final meeting of the school year on May 10 at a brand new location, St. Mark's Episcopal Church in Foxboro, and elected officers for next year:

Frank Quinn was elected President
Jack Gannon Vice President
Haydi Hurley was re-elected Secretary
Paula DePierro was re-elected Treasurer.

Kathy Hutchinson, who has served admirably as President for the past three years, is stepping down because of a job conflict on Tuesday nights -- when we have to meet at St. Mark's. But she promises to stay involved and hopefully continue to write her beautiful columns for our Newsletter.

Our annual scholarships were also announced: Kim Weineck received the Member Scholarship to help pay for a painting workshop. Kim has been active behind the scenes in a number of activities to include helping establish this blog page.

The Foxboro High School winner's name was also announced, but we will withhold her name here, pending the official notification.

Marla explaining her process

Other business included a discussion of the annual Fall Members' Show which this October will be exhibited at the new gallery at Patriot Place. In the meantime, members were encouraged to sign up for a weekend this summer as a featured artist. More info can be found on its blog: www.artgalleryatpatriotplace.blogspot.com.

Marla's palette

Our demonstrator was award-winning watercolorist Marla Greenfield who showed us the studied techniques she uses to produce wonderful jewel-like paintings. Her work can be viewed on her web page: www.marlagreenfield.com.

Marla's demonstration in progress - luminous color!

Our next meeting will be the second Tuesday in September - Sep. 13 - at St. Mark's Episcopal Church.

Workshop photos

One of the wonderful things about blogging is that information can get posted quickly. It's great that our membership can see the wonderful programs that we've planned.
As promised, here are some photos from the workshop FAA put on last weekend featuring our past demonstrator, Alain Picard.

Special thanks to Robin Carroll who helped us find this wonderful model for the workshop.

And more special thanks to Frank Quinn who helped make this workshop happen with all the necessary logistics.
It was a great time. A lot was learned. And we're looking forward to future workshops!
