News from Sally Delap-John, January 8th Oil Painting Class teacher

Sally is one of our founding members, now spending time in Sanger and Trucas, New Mexico.
She writes:

We are wintering over in California before the big move next spring. Meanwhile, my imagination runs the gamut of the beauties and perils of Truchas living.



Watercolor class continues at the Door Gallery in Fresno, CA. We continue to explore the depths of warm/cool, dark/light like a mantra.
                            

                                                      

January 8, I’m offering an oil workshop during the winter recess at the Art Stand. We’ll be indoors for a still-life study conveying warm/cool, dark/light through creamy application of oil paint. It is open to all levels.


Wishing you the best NewYear,
Sally

The Holidays are Approaching!

And Art makes wonderful gifts for your loved ones this holiday season! Whether it's a large painting or sculpture to grace someone's home or a small set of greeting cards to brighten their correspondence, the Art Stand Gallery has lots of unique items for the holidays--for gifts and for your home.

Thanks to those of you who came out to the holiday event on November 20-21. We saw some old friends and made some new ones.

The Art Stand Gallery will be open 5 days a week (closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays) through December 12th. Then the gallery closes until February 5th, 2011. During the time that we're closed, we have our Winter Workshops which we hope you will be able to attend. Scheduling is somewhat different this year, with not all the classes on Saturday or Sunday.

A registration flyer will be in the next post. Watch for it and send in your registrations to Elaine Towne Lane to hold your places in one or more of our excellent classes. Happy Holidays to all, and to all a good night. . . . .

Art Stand Participants LOVED the Gourd Class Last Weekend!

Toni Best of Visalia taught a wonderful class on dying

and embellishing natural gourds with a hand-sewn band

of pine needles around the top opening last Sunday

at the Art Stand Gallery.

Participants loved it!

They each designed and completed or almost completed a beautiful, one of a kind project in the one day class.

Happy New Year's Eve!

Dear Art Stand Gallery artists and Friends:

Hope you all had a very Happy Holiday season and will have a wonderful new year in 2010.

Our Winter Workshops begin in a little over a week on January 9th. If you haven't signed up yet, please do as soon as possible. Either download/print the flyer and send it in or bring it with you on the day of the class with the class fee. If you want to come on the day, do call Elaine Lane (or respond to this post via a comment) to make sure there is still room in the session that you want to take.

Update on Winter Workshop Classes

                                                                                               

The Winter Workshops are coming to a close this coming weekend. They have been well-attended and well-received and the levels of enthusiasm of the participants and the instructors have been high. This weekend is the dichroic glass class (both Saturday and Sunday) which should be very exciting.

Both Sally Delap-John and Tiwi S. Wood have volunteered to write a post for The Art Stand Gallery blog so those 2 articles will be appearing in the very near future. Other artists will be posting articles in upcoming posts as well.

January 30th and 31st/Dichroic Glass Classes by Kay Gaston

More information to follow soon about glass artist, Kay Gaston, instructor for next weekend's classes!

The classes this weekend

This weekend, The Art Stand Gallery had the first 2 Winter classes of 2009. Yesterday was Jeri Burzin's photography class and today was Elaine Towne Lane's glazing class. Both were well-received and productive. Today's photos were taken with an iPhone and the glare of the sun--once it came out!--was very strong. This morning's fog was terrible, most likely because yesterday was such a gorgeous sunny day. Next weekend, Kay Owen's and Suzie Stach's pastel classes! More biographies and photos to follow in the next few days.
