News from Kathleen Harrington

This month I am the artist showing work at the Gallery at the Hudson Library. I hung 24 paintings there and they will be on display for the month of November.

I currently have two pieces in the 28th Annual Exhibition Miniature Art 2012 sponsored by The Council for the Arts of Chambersburg, PA. The opening of this show was the same evening as the Ohio Collage Society Member’s Exhibit at Studio 2091 in Cuyahoga Falls where I was exhibiting a collage. There were so many wonderful entries at the Collage Show from Ohio artists!

And on that same evening there was the opening reception of the Chagrin Valley Art Center 41st Annual Juried Art Exhibit. 93 pieces were accepted from the 300 entries and I’m thrilled that my painting “Quiet Evening” was included.

The Fall Members Show of the Women’s Art League of Akron is at the Brecksville Center for the Arts Nov 5 – Dec 21 and I am showing two florals there.

News from Ann Kah

Sue Birgeles and Ann Kah went to Athens, Ohio In September for a weekend paint-out and competition. The sponsor was OPAS, the Ohio Plein Air Society, and artists attended from all over Ohio and several other states. Ann Kah received an Honorable Mention in the competition, and Sue Birgeles took part in the "quick-draw", completing a painting in an hour. OPAS sponsors painting get-togethers every month around Ohio, as well as the annual competition.

News from Judy Carducci

North Light Books has just published a handsome new book, "Strokes of Genius 4: the Best of Drawing, Exploring Line." Several of us area artists are in it: Tricia Kamen, Mitzi Lai, John Smolko, and me. It's an interesting and varied collection, beautifully presented.

PLAN AHEAD for FRANCE:
I will not be teaching in France in 2013, but will be back there at the same gorgeous place for the full ten days July 28 thru August 6 (leaving Aug. 7), 2014. So that gives people who have wanted to take advantage of this opportunity almost two years to plan. The Domaine du Haut Baran has expressed the intention of celebrating my 80th year at that time. I have just returned from this year's workshop there; images of my paintings will be on my web site as soon as we have enough light to photograph them.

GREECE:
for those of you who have always wanted to see Greece and to do it in comfort, style and with artists, I will be teaching a 10-day plein air and cultural workshop in Athens, Delphi, Mycenae, Napthlio, and Sounion, May 13-22, 2013. We will be staying at wonderful lodgings, with a Greek guide, and painting in breathtakingly inspiring spots.

Old San Juan, PUERTO RICO:
For those of you who would like exotic warmth nearby and near the end of a cold long winter, come to my workshop in Old San Juan, February 3-9, 2013. See the article, "Plein Air Paradise," in the last Workshop Issue of American Artist, about my workshop there last December.

My paintings from prior trips are on my web site, www.judithcarducci.com. For details and to enroll in upcoming workshops, go to www.signilar.com.
