ALL ABOUT ARTPUBLISHED BY

OCEAN REEF ART LEAGUE24 Dockside Lane #182 • Key Largo, FL 33037

I would like to introduce myself to some of you who may not know me. My name is Kathy Pluhar and I have stepped in as President of the Art League this season; one year early while our much loved Anne Anderson recovers from summer surgery. We’ll miss Anne and look forward to seeing her smiling face back at the Art League and back in the Friday oil painting class. I know that I have huge shoes to fill but with the help of a very knowledgeable and hard working board we will get the job done. There are so many new and exciting programs added this year that you will unquestionably have a hard time choosing so I say “do it all”. Okay, maybe not all, but do take advantage of wonderful artists/instructors who will be coming from half way around the globe to teach at our Ocean Reef Art League. There are programs for every level of artist from rank beginner to accomplished experts, and even for children/grandchildren. There are classes/workshops for everything from painting and sculpture to basketry and beading. There are clubs that meet to discuss books, orchids and photography or just to “stitch and bitch”. There are field trips to go on, art show openings to attend: the list is almost endless as you will see when you look through this newsletter. Above all the Art League is a place for fun and friendship. We are most fortunate to have this unique community within Ocean Reef. Please join us this season for a spectacular time. Join the Art League and Join the Fun!

Most of you by now are thinking about your returns to "Paradise". After the first season in this beautiful new building, we have ironed out most all the bugs and are ready, equipped and waiting for you with the most diversified program schedule yet.

The workshop and class chairmen have worked diligently to bring world class instructors to the Art League this season. I welcome the addition of Rodney Jackson, Ray Missell and Chuck Ross to our sculpting and woodworking programs and know that they will be invaluable to the Art League. Johnny Velasco will be my number one guy again this season. I couldn't do my job without his unwavering support and talent of juggling everything I throw at him. I hope that you all will be as excited to indulge in the offering as much as we have enjoyed bringing it to you. We are so excited to have such renowned artists from around the globe as workshop instructors in the upcoming season. Please join us at the Art League and join in on the fun. Sherri Harris

Linnea Anderson

HE: is standing atop on unusually green hill overlooking the Atlantic Ocean in New England. Even though HE is wearing a marine-worthy slicker and hat, He is soaking wet. Rain is pouring all over him and everything in sight. To top it all off HE is crying, the tears streaming down his face.

HE SAId: I can’t stand this any longer. I just can’t. I’m turning into green mold.

SHE SAId: What can’t you stand?

HE SAId: This weather. This unrelenting rain. I want my Ocean Reef and I really want my Art League. Easter comes, the Art League closes for the season . . .and then what? I go North for a lovely summer and all it does is rain! And it’s been cold. I am miserable. I have no Palette Pals to talk to, no workshops or classes to contemplate.

SHE SAId: Enough, already. Right now we all feel this way. Maybe the sun will come. Annie says, “The sun will come out tomorrow.” Have a little faith. Think of it this way. In no time we will be back at the Reef. You want to feel better? Send in your membership dues now. And if you really want to feel better, maybe you can part with a little more money and donate it to the Art League.

She is absolutely right. The Art League is like one of those amazing wines that never spoil and improve with age. Our 2009-10 season exists on paper. New classes, returning classes, workshops, trips are all here waiting for you! They wait for you to fill out your membership form. They need you to become a reality. Renew your old friendships, make some new ones. Take a risk and try something new. Improve your existing skills. This is the place where you cannot fail.And is there a more beautiful and at the same time, useful place, fun place to spend time than in the Art League? Send in your membership now and begin the journey back to Ocean Reef and the Art League. We’re waiting. . . .

Monday, november 9, 4:00p.m. Presenter - Peter Lorber Peter picked up the camera at the age of 12 and has not put one down since. His Masters degree in Engineering, as well as his ability to “see what the camera lens sees”, has made him a highly sought-after photographer. Peter has moved with the times and adapted to all forms of photography and printing, including digital. What makes Peter so unique is his insistence on using only the best round shot panoramic camera, Hasselblad H3d digital cameras, keeping up with the times and adapting to the newest technology and the expertise to shoot 360% aerial panoramas and breathtaking digital images from a crane or in the air. All of these techniques gives the client a “one stop shop” to save time and money.

Monday, december 7, 4:00p.m. Presenter -Tom Dailey Tom is a world-renowned career photographer and artist, based in Key Largo. His pictures have been published in National Geographic Magazine, Men’s Journal, and every major scuba-diving publication.

Spheres, Natural Edge bowls and Covered Side Grain boxes with Gerard schwenkeMonday, Tuesday & Wednesday, March 15, 16 & 17 9:00a.m.-4:00p.m.You will work with green wood completing the entire item the same day. Next we would rough out the bowl and set aside to dry to be finished in the future. After that we would complete a thin walled bowl using a roughed out seasoned and dried bowl. This will provide the student the opportunity to complete the entire process of rough turning and re-chucking to complete the dry seasoned item from start to finish without waiting for 6 months. This project will require the student to learn good tool control and how to sharpen their tools for the task. Next we can make a covered side grain container or end grain box.Seasoned dry wood is required for this project. This is also is a good exercise and will require accurate turning to make sure the cover will fit correctly. I also like to include the process of turning a perfect sphere the way it was done to turn billiard balls in the old days. This is an interesting exercises and helps honing their skills. In case your turners are more experienced we can do some multi center turning such as a winged bowl with a off- set and detached wing.Fee: $385

Gail Moss has agreed to return and will engross us with a fascinating lecture to be held at the Cultural Center on Tuesday, February 23 at 4:00p.m. “ The World through Rembrandt’s Eyes”. Come see and hear all about the most beloved painter of all time. In this lecture and slide show, Gail Moss will show you Rembrandt’s world and how it influenced his masterworks. More then any other artist, Rembrandt was able to paint what it looked like to feel; when you are happy or sad, in love or looking for love, full of murderous passion or sweet compassion. Get a look at these paintings for yourself and see how they were created. Gail will also show her own slides of Rembrandt paintings taken this summer on a trip to St. Petersburg Russia.
