Save the Dates, Please!

The old Sherwood Inn Restaurant Building--right across the street

The Art Stand Gallery will be holding our annual Open Studio event on Saturday, April 30th and Sunday, May lst. We have 2 new locations this year and some new things happening! Watch for the flyer and details within the next few days!

One other announcement is that the old Sherwood Inn Restaurant will be reopening in a few months as the School House, Restaurant and Tavern. Can't you just hardly wait? You'll be able to come out and have a nice lunch or dinner and visit the gallery, too!

New Art Stand Gallery Member

Last month, we welcomed Carole Johnson of Clovis as a new member of the Art Stand Gallery.
She started out as an oil painter but now primarily paints in watercolors. She has studied with Sharon Bortugno of Oakhurst and Carlene Kostiw of Fresno. We are so happy to have Carole as a member of the Art Stand Gallery.

Book/Journal Class by Kim Elia of Woodlake

Today we experienced a new class at the Art Stand Gallery. Kim Elia, Woodlake artist and member of the gallery, taught us how to use printmaking techniques to make our own accordian books. When completed, they can hold recipes, photographs, quotations, diary entries or anything else we wish to put on cards/tags that are stored in the pockets of the book. Here are some photos of the books we made today!

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
