Oldies But Goodies Member Exhibit March 2022

ZOOM presentation on 4/20/22 at 7pm on Colored Pencils by Sue VanVolkenburgh

"Colored pencil has gotten a bad rap from its use for adult coloring books. Those colored pencils are nothing like the professional colored pencils. My suggestion that colored pencil artwork may belong with pastels has been met with some derision. And then I saw Jesse Lane’s artwork. I plan to attempt to demonstrate that colored pencils can hold their own against the other mediums. I also hope to show that it can be considered a painting as well as a drawing. Bring pen and paper. There will be a quiz! I will be doing a short demo on using colored pencils."

 

Artist Bio

Sue is a self-taught artist. She works mostly in oils and pastels but likes to try different mediums. She paints predominantly animals but she paints what speaks to her. She sees a picture of an animal and she has to paint it. By painting it she tries to show her love of that animal.

Re-imagining the ASMC for 2021

 

Dear Members of the ASMC,

 

We hope you are all well and managing during this difficult time.

We want you to know that you are always in our thoughts and that your Board is actively engaged via ZOOM meetings (see photo below) to continue planning how we can provide value to our members without conducting traditional in-person activities and events.

With your health and safety in mind, the Board has decided that we will not schedule anything that requires an in-person presence for the foreseeable future.This year, we will see where we are and keep you informed here and through our e-newsletter.

 

In the meantime, we will:

  • Continue with our Virtual "Let's Talk" series via ZOOM on a monthly basis;
  • Offer guest speakers and demonstrations of interest via ZOOM on a monthly basis;
  • Offer Virtual Art Exhibits that take place online via our Website
  • Share free online painting workshops and videos
  • Create new membership benefits
  • Enhance our publicity efforts and 
  • Continue to train our members on how to access the technology we are using to stay connected.

If you have a computer, laptop, iPad, or smartphone as well as an email address, we know that we can connect you to our meetings/presentations with one-to-one guidance. Sue VanVolkenburgh, our Co-President, is our in-house expert and will guide you through the process by phone. Send us an email if you need assistance to asmc722@gmail.com. 

 

Our mission is to promote the arts and encourage creativity. We are an active group of painting artists and photographers, many with professional designations, who love learning, enjoy creating art, and pay it forward with scholarships for college art students.

 

During 2021, please join us online at our lively and informative meetings with lectures and demonstrations by professional artists.

 

As a member, you may participate in any of up to four major Art Exhibitions in 

November, January, March, and April.  All exhibits are judged by professionals who award prizes and recognition ribbons. For sponsored exhibits, we provide monetary awards in five categories (three awards per category) to 15 artists.

 

For members who are professional artists with websites, we offer a free link on our

Artists and Supporter Links page
