Painting with Paper Pulp - Terry Lacy

The WVAS had a tremendous program last week.  Terry Lacy gave a comprehensive demo about his technique of painting with paper pulp.  It is quite a process.  You can see some of the process through the photos.

Meeting tonight! November 15

Don't miss our monthly meeting tonight at the Art Museum, 7:00 p.m. Local painter Anne Parks is giving the program.

This is the third Tuesday, though it seems early. That's because November 1st fell on a Tuesday.

Cynthia Rosen

I recently came across this oil painter. Her work is colorful and appealing. She paints figures, still life, and landscapes:



I also find her blog especially thought-provoking:

I recommend reading back through at least the last 1/2 dozen posts--and don't miss the ones on style and on fear. Good stuff!

Plein Air Paint Out at Prophetstown

Seven WVAS members enjoyed the plein air paintout at Prophetstown this morning. It was a balmy, windy beautiful fall day. After a morning of painting, lunch at TC's in Battleground, Indiana, topped off the experience. These photos are our paintings in progress.
