| President’s Message, “Inspiration” What do you do for inspiration? Do something nice for yourself by visiting one of the current art exhibitions in our area. The Laguna Art Museum is currently showing a full scale retrospective of William Wendt. Did you know he was a founder of the California Art Club and served as its President from 1911- 19. There is also a new watercolor exhibit at the Irvine Museum entitled “The Good Life”, CA Watercolors from 1930-50. The Irvine Museum is free so visit it often! Attend our regular meetings. We had an inspiring watercolor presentation by Kevin Davidson last month. He painted a floral on yupo paper. which was raffled off to a lucky guest at the meeting. Our demo artists are talented teachers that will get you thinking of new uses for your materials, or perhaps get you to try something new. Check out the websites of our demo artists. They provide wonderful inspiration all by themselves. Get creative! “ Creativity is a celebration of one’s grandeur, one’s sense of making anything possible”. So, get out your paint, camera, clay or whatever and start creating. Challenge yourself to create a new piece, a new series, work with a new material, or use your regular materials in a different way. Challenge yourself to work on your art regularly. Inspiration is all around us. We just need the courage to look! Lynda Zimmer President |
