TRANSCRIPT
February – March 2014
Winter at Ft Myers Beach Art Association is
heating up – Welcome Back Snowbirds! We look
forward to another busy 2 months. You should be
ready for February & March events. Our Famous
Workshops are filled, but there are those occasional
last minute changes, so be sure to contact the
organizer for all our workshops if you want to sign
up. And there are plenty of short workshops to get
you motivated to progress and start showing your
own work. Put those dates on your Calendar! All
members are eligible to enter the Spring Show and
sign up for these events – but you have to move
quickly.
The Art Bazaar on March 23rd is limited to
25 artists. Watch for the sign-up sheet at the gallery.
This sale and show is at Santini Plaza. Last year
sales were brisk, with 80% going to the artists and
20% to the FMBAA Scholarship Fund.
Don't forget to volunteer! As a volunteer
organization we count on each other to keep
FMBAA successful and a good experience for
everyone. This year we have had several 'new'
members step up and into Chairmanship positions.
Even if you don't participate in one of our Shows,
come and help with receiving, take down & hanging
paintings, prepare the gallery & provide food for the
public for Openings & Gallery Talk events. If you
like to read the local news – become the Historian
for the year. If you are an organizer -- help with one
of our Committees and step up. Tuesdays and
Wednesdays are open paint days at the gallery.
Come paint with fellow artists. You'll be glad you
did! Joan Zeoli, President
PPOOTTLLUUCCKK ““VVoolluunntteeeerr AApppprreecciiaattiioonn””

appetizers and desserts. You must SIGN UP BY

will receive a receipt book and will fill out receipts for
clients to take to the central checkout. The minimum sale
price for each item is $5 (bundle items if necessary). The
artist will release the art work when shown the “paid”
receipt by the client. See details at the gallery.
Remember that sales benefit the FMBAA scholarship
fund.

Christmas Pot Luck – Our Christmas Potluck
was fun and the food was yummy. We had a wonderful
team of helpers pulled together by President Joan Zeoli,
Sharon Hegstrom, Louise Davis, Donna Bergeron,
Michele & George Buelow, Avis Schmitz, Kathleen
Flicek, Kay Cowan, Gretchen Johnson and Corky
Condon. Mary Chaikowsky and her son, Matt, came in
for the finish with Matt being an expert carver of the
ham, and dressing the platters with all the fine touches
of a great chef. Seventy-five guests attended the affair,
and everyone was ready for a party and seemed to have
a good time.
Penny Fox played music on her keyboard adding
a festive air to the occasion. The clean-up folks were
awesome too, we couldn’t have done it without you!
Thanks to all who helped in any way to make the
evening a nice event.

Art on the Boulevard
Sixteen artists participated in Art on the Boulevard
at Century 21 Tripower Realty on November 17th.
Yes, that was the same day that 1500 bikers passed
by on Estero Blvd.
Art Divine – lots of great art but… The numbers were down from 2012: fewer artists
(27 vs. 35), half the sales (34 vs. 71), half the
revenue ($2435 vs. $5212), fewer show days (14 vs.
38 days), and fewer minis sold (28 vs. 83). Easy
math! 2
Open House was Crafty Event
The Board hosted an Open House at the gallery on Friday, January 3rd. Members and art lovers were welcomed by President Joan Zeoli. Thank you to the Board for providing coffee and goodies.
The “Sharing our Creativity” displays by members
included bracelets and other objects made of
paper by Sue Pink, photographs by Lenore Bandler,
special papers by Laraine Centineo, and a new

Artist Profile –Sue Pink
Sue Pink grew up under the art influence of her
mother who was a commercial artist in the Fort
Lauderdale, FL area. There was no shortage of
wonderful art supplies to explore. After a career in
education Sue pursued her interest in art by taking
classes first with local instructors, and later by
enrolling in workshops taught by leading national
instructors including Peter Spataro. These
workshops increased her interest in abstract art and
process.
”Sue says “working in the abstract manner
has allowed me to emotionally tie my work to the
viewer. Abstract art has also enabled me to focus
on composition.” Color and texture are major
elements in her work. We know Sue for her muted
palette. Can you see her process? Sue uses gesso
as a resist and pulls color from below. This allows
the viewer to see the “history” of the work. Sue
says always use high quality paint (watercolor and
acrylic) and high quality 100% cotton rag paper.
Recently Sue has been working on a series of works
depicting time as a theme.
Last fall Sue was a “demo” instructor at the
Florida Watercolor Society Annual Convention.
Sue recommends this convention to all. Sue is a
signature member of the National Watercolor
Society, Southern Watercolor Society, Florida
Watercolor Society, Georgia Watercolor Society,
Texas Watercolor Society, Tallahassee Watercolor
Society, elected to the Florida Artist Group, and an
associate member of the American Watercolor
Society. View Sue’s work on line at
www.suepink.com .
Noteworthy ---A reminder to all: please clean tables after painting,
use plastic covers, and cover the floor if throwing paint.
Housekeeping is a responsibility of all members. The
kitchen sink should not be used for any painting activity.
Use the storeroom sink or outside disposal areas as
appropriate. All counter areas should be kept clear. The
storeroom is for FMBAA storage. Do not place personal
items in the storeroom. Pick up your paintings promptly
at the close of a show.
---Gallery Sitting. Please remember that artists
entering ANY SHOW are expected to gallery sit
unless hardship is shown. Gallery sitters are an
important part of our member run FMBAA and
especially to have our gallery open during our
shows. Connie Donfrancisco is gallery sitter chair
for February and Donna Bergeron for March. TIP:
New members might want to select a Tuesday or
Wednesday to gallery sit as there will be painters in
the gallery these days to help answer questions.
You need to make sure you are aware of the
operations of the desk, reference book, how to fill
out a receipt (important to fill out ALL the blanks)
and use the charge machine, add tax to the sales,
and where to find help if needed. Also how to find
information on the classes and workshops, forms for
membership, shows and workshops. There is a
Gallery Sitter’s Instruction Book at the desk. Please
review it each time you "sit".
--New Easels. Ten easels have been purchased for use by artists painting in the gallery. Keep them clean and
store them properly.

We are beginning to plan for the next PTB
festival during the week Nov. 3-9 next fall. Save
the date and plan to participate and help us with
this terrific event. It gets bigger and better each
year as the word spreads among artists and
patrons.
The 2013 PTB festival was a tremendous success
with 60 participating artists. It brought in over
$6000 thanks to a lot of helpers and chairmen
who organized their facet of the event and was a
great experience for those participating. The
chairmen have agreed to chair their committees
again...thank you so much. But we need some
members to step up and help in a few more areas.
We need a donations for the painting raffle, one
from each painting group, chairman of
sponsorship who will work with Michele and
someone who is willing to train with Michele to
take over as overall chairman for the following
year and of course volunteers. There are many
ways to help and each job is important to the
whole. Please let me know if you can step up and
become involved with this project. We need
you!! Michele Buelow
