2012 Art Show
Lake Toxaway Art Show 2012
Our art show was a huge success. We had 148 paintings from 27 artists, 20 paintings sold. Approximately 175 people attended, it seemed like the biggest crowd ever.
The People's Choice Award was awarded to Barbara Milford for her entry of the Threesome (2chickens and a rooster.) Heard many positive comments by those voting. Voters did remark it made them pay more attention to each painting. Judy and I counted the votes and ever artist had votes and the final count was very close.
Here are a few pictures I will changes theses weekly. Please send your pictures of the evening or your pictures of your paintings and I will include those.

News from August
Karen Margulis was our featured speaker at our August meeting. She gave a great presentation on painting wildflowers with pastels. Some key points: Pick your palette of pastels and set aside before you start, under painting with oils or watercolors and let it show through in places, use a very light stroke and light layers and use painters tape to secure paper to foam core.
Cathy Cooper is in charge of the gallery hanging in September. She needs artist to show. Give her a call.
Painting for Patriot's will be Sunday September 2nd from 4-6pm.This is with the Music on Rose Hill.
