From the Editor

I apologize for the newsletter being so late this month. I spent the last several days in Charlotte, NC, with my daughter, son-in-law, and 1 and 5 year old grand-daughters. For some reason, I thought I could work on it while I was there. And that was another example of poor quality thinking on my part. Why would I want to take time away from them? Well, of course I wouldn't, and didn't, and, to tell you the truth, forgot all about it! So all I can do at this point is apologize.

I hope all of you are getting your best work ready to enter the Mother Lode Show. I'm working on a special piece to enter. It's going to be a collage with a bear theme. It's been a while since I've working on a collage. I'm using three drawings of bears as collage elements and I have them all done. I also made a stencil with bears and stars. And I've made a cradled wood panel with an arched top. So now that I have the main elements, I'm ready to start. Now for the fun part!

Can't wait to see what everyone else enters.

Member News

Joyce Martin has two openings in her Basic Oil Painting Class on Thursdays, 10am to 2pm, for $25 per day for April and May. Interested? Contact Joyce at bnjmartin01@sbcglobal.net.

Joey Cattone has over 40 frames that she would like to sell. She has 26 16"x20" frames as well as many other sizes. These are suitable for matting with glass - most are new or like new condition. Some frames come with mats if you want them. I have other sizes larger or smaller. All came from Aaron Brothers or commercial frame shops. I have a mix of other sizes/types. These are filling up garage shelves, many in their original packaging. I no longer do a mat/glass frame presentation on my giclees - and would love to sell these off at the equivalent of 60% off Aaron Brothers pricing (or best offer). I can email the list of what I have to anyone who is interested. Please contact Joey at

joeycattone@comcast.net or (916) 458-8173.

Workshops and Shows to Enter

Show at Art on the Divide

Art on the Divide Gallery is excited to announce the theme for the Fifth Invitational Art Show, "Reflections." The theme is open to your interpretation, and not expected to be a typical reflection in water. Think broadly...reflection on family, community, heritage, love, self, beauty, nature, etc.

(Editor's note: I was unable to link to the call to artists, but will either send out a separate email when I have it or include it in the next newsletter.)

We look forward to your entry. A People's Choice ribbon will be awarded at the end of the show, and an artists' reception on September 9, 2018, will celebrate the art.

Have fun creating!
