Many, many thanks to Matthew Siegal of Lexington Arts and Crafts (LexArt) for his generosity !

We are able to show turned wood bowls on the pedestal stands and ceramic animals and watercolor paperweights on the sculpture tables.

Thank you, thank you Matthew !!!

Thank you so much Susan McFarlane !  

For your Wonderful Artist Talk Sat. June 10

   

So many people enjoyed your Informative and Detailed Artist Talk

about your Watercolor Process.

     

Susan McFarlane, a wonderful watercolor painter, will discuss  her experimenting

with watercolors, using a variety of materials, some from the recycling bin.

She then begins to build the textures, creating exciting designs

The decision of subject does not happen at the beginning, but at a later stage. 

She will share images documenting the steps of her process to illustrate the

development of her work, highlighting paintings that are in the Craft Show.
