“People and Places” by Liz Bonham
January 5 – February 27
Reception February 5, 2016 6 to 8pm
This special exhibition of Liz Bonham’s studio and Plein Air oil paintings captures the people and places that she has come across in her most recent travels both, close and far from home. Bonham frequently paints “en plein air” because it is a way to express what she sees around her, and it enables her to connect with nature and creation on a more intimate level. About her paintings Bonham says “It is only after creating an emotional connection with what is seen, that an artist can translate that emotion onto canvas and project it back to the viewer. It is only from life that one can truly experience the overwhelming colors and sensitive values in nature. I believe that is why the plein air movement has taken off in the art world recently.” Visitors to the gallery will be able to see the juxtaposition of several of the same scenes – one painted en plein air, and the other painted later in the studio.
Bonham’s work will be on display at Elm Street Studio in Keller starting January 5th and running through February 27, 2016. A complimentary reception for visitors will be held on Friday, February 5th from 6 to 8pm at which guests can meet Mrs. Bonham. As always, a portion of art sale proceeds will benefit a local charity. Mrs. Bonham has selected the Community Enrichment Center Food Bank.

DeSoto Art League April Meeting

Tina Bohlman
This month we are once again privileged to host Tina Bohlman! A Texas native, Tina Bohlman has used the state in which she was raised as both the inspiration and the canvas for her art.
Mostly a self-taught artist, Bohlman works primarily in watercolor and occasionally in oil to create her breathtaking plein air paintings and brilliant rural landscapes.
Almost every day, you can find me on location. I believe to be able to paint a subject, an artist has to know it. For a landscape artist, direct observation on location is the primary way to become knowledgeable; to see the light and how it falls upon…or illuminates… a building or ground plane.
She cultivated her natural artistic talent and her eye for beauty with great dedication and an insatiable desire to learn the techniques and history of the art. Bohlman has supplemented her independent study with workshops with some of the best artists in the field, including Jan Kuntz, Tom Lynch, Irving Shapiro and Jill Carver. This has served her well because as she describes, watercolor is a challenging medium. A veteran of numerous competition plein air and “quick draw” events annually, including, Plein Air Southwest-Outdoor Painters Society, Sedona Plein Air Festival-Sedona, Arizona, and Paint The Parks-Estes Park, Colorado, she prefers plein air rather than working in the studio.
Low water crossing, Dove Creek
“I have been an outdoor painter for most of my art career. Nothing compares for inspiration and capturing light and emotion. Aware that my time in a particular moment is short, Plein Air in watercolor requires strong technical skills and a large measure of intestinal fortitude. As the light moves, moment by moment, across the sky, every stroke must be without hesitation. It’s a marathon race with the sun; spirited, emotional…and exhausting. I love it!”
The Old Jail
With this dedicated attitude and her skills and talent, Bohlman has made quite an impact in her field. Over the past thirty-five years, she has earned more than 60 awards, including a dozen First Place and four Best in Show titles. In addition to exhibiting, competition events and taking commissions for her work, she is the founder and chairman of the annual “Paint HistoricWaxahachie”, a plein air event that showcases more than 50 artists. Her work is collected worldwide; Bohlman originals hang in private and corporate collections in 34 States, Canada, Mexico, United Kingdom, Portugal, Germany, Australia, New Zealand and Republic of Benin, West Africa.

OPA Signature Artist Joe Anna Arnett brings her masterful floral and plein air talent to Weatherford’s Clark and Chandor Gardens May 4-8, 2015. Registration for this workshop ends on March 20! There are still spaces available for this 16-student class to be held at Weatherford’s Chandor and Clark Gardens at the height of the iris and rose seasons. And, registrants for this class will finalize a painting of their choice in the splendid private studio of the late Douglas Chandor, a British artist who made his home in Weatherford, TX, and who painted such notables as the Queen of England and Winston Churchill.
THE CLASS: Students will spend two days painting outdoors in Clark Gardens [www.clarkgardens.org], named by HGTV as one of the Great American Gardens. More than 100 species will be blooming among the fountains, wandering peacocks and floating swans, pagodas and bridges of the Gardens, including David Austin Roses, Hybrid Tea Roses, Dr. Griffith Buck Roses, Peggy Martin Roses, over 1400 named iris including Bearded Iris, Dutch Iris, Louisiana Iris, Spuria and Japanese Iris, and 600 varieties of daylilies. The next two days will be spent painting outdoors at Chandor Gardens, [www.ci.weatherford.tx.us/chandor] the estate of the late Douglas Chandor and his Weatherford bride, Ina Kuteman Chandor. The Garden was Chandor’s creation, and he often said that he painted in order to maintain and glorify his botanical creation. The last day of class will be spent refining a painting in the private studio of the artist, a truly unique and special experience for all. |

COST & WHAT IS INCLUDED: The fee for the class is $750.00, which includes 5 days of instruction, admissions to both Gardens and the Douglas Chandor Studio, and all lunches. A tour of the home of Douglas and Ina Kuteman Chandor is also part of the workshop. Accommodations are NOT included, but registrants will receive recommendations for B&Bs and hotels in Weatherford, an historic and quaint town 30 miles west of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex and airport.

“PAINT THE GLEN” PAINT OUT
A PLEIN-AIR EVENT
SATURDAY, APRIL 18, 2015
Glen Rose, TX
Beginning as early as 7:30 a.m on Sat., Apr. 18., plein-air painters will check in and begin painting from Barnard’s Mill throughout the historic downtown area, and across the river in Heritage Park.
Plein-air is derived from the French words “en plein air”, meaning to paint outdoors. Sketching and painting outdoors has become tremendously popular in the last several years, so this is a marvelous opportunity to either paint in the event, or to observe artists while they paint. Artists welcome interested observers, so plan on visiting the historic and scenic sections of Glen Rose and the surrounding area and talking with the artists.
On Fri., Apr. 17, a reception and optional Nocturnal Paint is scheduled.
For more information, see the flyer: 2015 Paint the Glen
If you’re an artist interested in this one day event, please contact Pat Barrow 254-253-0311, 254-897-3081 or pbarrow@valornet
