July Meeting Change!
We have a change in our July Wabash Valley Watercolor Society monthly program. Next Tuesday, July 15th, we were to visit the new gallery in West Lafayette, Artists Gone Wild. We are sorry to say that because it was not financially sustainable, the gallery had to close its doors. We wish Josh and Jake Kubisz the best for their art careers.
We will now meet at Sylvia's Brick Oven for dinner at 6:30, July 15th. It is time to change out our art in time for the gallery walk, so join us for dinner and bring a painting that will be on display for July/August. The gallery walk is Friday, July 18th. For those of you that haven't had the Sylvia's experience - this is your chance to enjoy a great meal and see the gallery space their walls provide.
See you next Tuesday - July 15th, 6:30, Sylvia's!

Plein Air Travel Journal Classes!
It's not too late to sign up for the summer travel journal classes that begin June 9th, next Monday morning! Download the registration form from my blog: www.jerieartz-artzart.blogspot.com. It's never too early or too late to try something new! Here is my 2 1/2 year old grandson painting plein air with me last week - although he more enjoyed painting on, his feet than on the paper!

Hello artists,
Our guest artist this month is artist, Sandy Daniel. She was our guest last August to give us her perspective, opinions and an unbiased critique ~ there was such a positive response, we wanted to bring her back. So bring a painting you would like to share and hear Sandy's insight. (Remember our annual juried show is October 31, 2014, and she may be able to give some insight for a more successful painting).
See you Tuesday, 7:00pm at TAF, LaDonna Vohar, President 765-237-1252
**Remember that an objective critique is an important part of an artist's career. We all have blind spots to at least some aspects of our work, and we can sometimes overcome those blind spots with genuine objective criticism. Sometimes we ask our friends to tell us what they think of our work, but that isn't always the best idea. Some of us are way to hard on ourselves and keep overworking a painting when it was just fine hours or days before. The critique allows us, as an artist, to look at our work in an objective way. Hopefully, we are then able to "see" our work with fresh insight, and sometimes gives us a new direction in which to go.
