The Sisters of the Brush are well represented this year at the MWCS 65th Annual Exhibit. Barbara Markham and Diane O’Neil both had paintings accepted into the show. It was juried by noted artist George James of California, widely known for his creative use of Yupo paper in his artwork. Barbara’s painting was honored in addition by being selected for the traveling show, which begins in Escanaba in July, ending in Flint over the holidays.
Two other Sisters were in attendance at the reception at the Lansing Art Gallery on Friday, May 4th. They were Pat McGraw and Katherine Harra. They both serve on the board of the Michigan Water Color Society. Pat is the newest member, serving her first year as the Awards Chair, and Katherine is into her second term as the recording secretary – although she’ll admit she now knows an awful lot about awards as well.
The pictures above show the group posing by Diane and Barbara's paintings. If you can go to Lansing, be sure to visit the Lansing Art Gallery on Washington Square to see this beautiful show.

Katherine and Pat go to "Art Camp"
Pat McGraw and Katherine Harra returned at the end of April from a relaxing inspiring exhausting exciting (okay pick an adjective) week at Kanuga Watermedia Workshops.
Pat took four days of workshop with collage artist Carrie Burns Brown, and got her feet wet with acrylics. Ask her about her satellite paintings if you dare!! Katherine spent the same four days with watercolor painter Judy Morris. The theme of this workshop was design and planning. Katherine is very excited about the ideas and tools she brought home with her for developing more sophisticated "color chords" and better compositions. |
