October 8th Meeting

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 15:01:00 +0000

October 8, 2008

The meeting of the Tampa Bay Pastel Society was called to order by president, Mary Louise Pollock. It was held at the Upper Tampa Bay Regional Library and was a short meeting because the main purpose of the evening was a demonstration by Virginia LaTourrette. We did discuss the upcoming Paint Out at the Dunedin Art Center on Tuesday, November 11. Also, there is going to be an ongoing painting class at the Palm Harbor Senior Center on Thursdays at 1:00. More information about it will be on our blog. Lorraine Potocki let us know that Brooker Creek needs people to submit work for future shows. We are always keeping our eye open for possible exhibition sites.

Mary Louise introduced Virginia and the rest of the evening was the wonderful demonstration. She painted a still life of pears and copper pitcher and did the painting on black Spectrum paper. You will see the painting on our website. She said she likes to paint in series and paints in pastel then in oil. She uses mostly soft pastel and her style is colorful, dramatic and bold with no blending with her hands. She really pays attention to color reflections on both objects, intermixing the colors. She loves a dark purple from Mount Vision.

Your board has been busy continuing the work started by our first president Gail Gamble. 1) We have sent off the application to the International Pastel Society to become a member society. 2) We have worked to prepare a proposal for the Tampa Museum to host a National Pastel Show in early 2011. Cathy Morgan has been able to get Doug Dawson to agree to jury the show and do a workshop for us.

September 11 Our first meeting will be a POTLUCK DINNER6 pm at Anneke Hulstein’s Home 772-7851

3070 Oak Creek Drive (from19 go east on Curlew to Landmark. Turn south and go to the second left. That is Oak Creek Drive. Anneke’s home is about 5 houses in on the left side.)

Meeting Minutes

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 17:46:00 +0000

April 17, 2008

The third meeting of the Pastel Society of Tampa Bay (2007-2008) was held at the Montage Gallery in Dunedin. President, Gail Gamble, started the meeting with announcements.

Saturday, May 17, we will meet from 9am to 3pm at the entrance to John Chesnut Sr. Park (formerly Brooker Creek Park) for a day of plein-air painting. Remember to bring your lunch.

When we start meeting again in the fall, we will have a PAINT AROUND with groups of five people working on each others painting and rotating every 20 minutes. Karen Baker brought the idea from the Southwest Pastel Society.

Lastly we discussed the need for new officers for 2008-2009. Virginia LaTourrette suggested that we rotate through the positions to keep a flow of information going. With this idea in mind we discussed the board and asked for volunteers at the end of the meeting.

Then Mary Louise Pollock introduced the owner of Montage Gallery, Dana Rizzuto. He had prepared a handout for each person explaining proper framing. His talk was helpful and informative.

During refreshments we were able to create a slate of officers and committee chairs for next year. If any one would like to add their name to the list please email Gail Gamble at gailnoelfg@aol.com by May 5, 2008.
