We were wowed by the atten-dance at the

opening reception of our Annual Juried Show! Several special guests were in attendance, in-cluding: Honourable Lori Sigurdson, MLA Edmonton-Riverview and Minister of Seniors and Housing; City of Edmonton Councillor Andrew Knack; Heather Monahan, manager of DeSerres, who provided prizes for the selected art-ists as well as door prizes, and musician Brooklyn Trapp. Gregg Johnson, our juror for the show, was unable to attend.

As well as bringing greetings from the Province and the City, Lori Sigurd-son and Andrew Knack each selected a piece for Honourable Mention and for purchase.

Each artist submitted three pieces to be considered for hanging. Juror Gregg Johnson spent the afternoon prior to opening selecting art works from the submission to be hung, then from those, selected one piece as Best in Show, and two as Honourable Mention.

Not all members of the Edmonton Art Club were eligible to participate in our show. New members Andrew Beding-field, Mona Innes and Karen McFarlane participated, as well as members who attended at least five meetings each with a piece brought brought for critique, during the past 12 months.

Critique, con’t on pg.5

Rhea Jansen - Very nice. My favorite part is how you handled the vase, very sophisticated. As a viewer the sugges-tion is enough. By carving into the background you have made a sugges-tion. Motion is good, white areas work well, hard and soft edges.

Eleanor Macallister - Love the co-lours, warmth flowing through the background. If you changed the trees, because they are similar to the tulips in size, this would set up more distance.

Mohamed Hirji - I really like the way you have done this. You didn't put too many people in it. Colour is beautiful, warm into cool. I like this very much

Critique: October 11, 2018Notes submitted by Sharon Bongers; photos by Betty Dean

The critic for the October 11 meeting was Frances Alty-Arscott, introduced by Frances Hessels.

Frances Alty-Ascott is a well-known Alberta-based artist who resides in Edmonton. She received her BFA from the University of Alberta in 1980. Her vibrant work is in public and private collections throughout Canada and the United States.

Frances Alty-Arscott began as a pro-ficient watercolour painter and added the medium of acrylic on canvas to her repertoire in the early 2000s. Colour can be a powerful element of visual communication, and Frances was able to transfer her signature use of vibrant colour in her watercolours to her acrylic paintings.

Her work is inspired by the rolling countryside and the sparse woodlands of Alberta. She does not paint specific scenes so much as take the elements that she sees and attempt to portray her impressions on the paper or canvas. Having lived in the province her whole life, Alberta’s urban and rural land-scapes continue to be her inspiration for her own unique expressionistic style. The artwork of Frances Alty-Arscott is represented by Rowles & Company Ltd.

In addition to her painting, Frances lectures and teaches both adults and children in creative approaches to wa-tercolours and acrylics.

http://altyarscott.netJasmin Alstad - Very nice piece. Has a feeling of flowers. The composition wrapped around is more concentrated, really interesting. I like the texture and the drippings. Very nice touch of yellow.

Margaret Somkuti - Striking - love the line. I would use a burnt stick, you could use charcoal, this gives a nice warm feeling. Composition well done the curve in is nice.

Myrna Wilkinson - Beautiful, the tones set the painting. Brave putting in a bridge. I can't say anything to improve it. The distance really shows, I love the warmth through the whole composition.


Frances Hessels - Very nicely done. It is difficult with the head tilted. Well done with light passing. Edges are good, very important. There is a sense of light bouncing.

Critique, con’t from pg.4


Barbara Stachow - Wow - very nice, beautiful. I love the lace, very difficult. The designs on the eggs are well done.

Mona Innes - Beautiful - the reds, yel-lows, greens yummy, changes of marks. Red is hard to bring in another value, you created depth by underplaying co-lour and mark making.

Keith - Very nice. The city is well handled. You captured night time. The shapes are well done, I like the hint of lights.

Sora Han - I like the introduction of green against red and dripping. I would have it pulled off to the side. The line created is beautiful. I think you could do some really neat things.

Sharon Bongers - Really neat, created the feeling of a jawline. A spot of colour would add to it. The eye is good. Very nice piece.

David Nash - Very nice, this is hard to do. I like the sky a lot. The shapes are organic. The combination of colour, break of line, very nice. Line changes creating depth and warmth. Do more.

Karin McFarlane - That background shape very nice, composition strong. Diagonal going across composition very rich.

Many thanks to the Alberta Foundation

for the Arts for their support of the Edmonton Art Club!


Gail Farewell - Small paintings are intimate, this is very beautiful. Narrow strips and a quiet area gives us nice drama, great darks.

Seraya Smit - Very interesting rocks. The color is rich. I would like to see the waterfall splash outside the rocks. This is a very complicated subject matter. Some ink sprayed in with a toothbrush gives the feel of splashing. You could have some trees overlap the mountains.

Maureen Woolley - There is a softness of your work. The complementary col-ors set off the composition, I like the way you have handled the shapes going into the river valley. Great.



Johanne Septou - This painting has depth. The sunlight through the trees, lovely. I would move her off to one side, introducing some branches would add more distance and depth. You could add more detail in the foreground.

Betty Dean - (cropped) The combina-tion of hard and soft edges is going to make it appear 3D and link the two areas together. Really well done.

Jan Fraser - This is really neat, this needs to be seen up close. This is absolutely gorgeous. There is so much happening. I would love to see this big. The process is gorgeous.

Donna Chamberland - It has earthy tones. I love the pastel pink, and marks going this way and that. Well done, and the building connects very well. Nice movement created. More light on rooftop.

Kerralee Nelson - This has a lot of appeal. Black gives power, feels like water / reflection. You could have a line showing a shoreline from the water, not a solid line, a broken line to bridge one area from another.


Andrew Beddingfield - Looking at it in terms of the painted edge, the blue makes it jump off the canvas. I enjoy the background more than the shapes. I would like to see more of the scraping. The right side is working better than the left. Paint and quality well done.

Connie Clark - Very nice, striking. I like the detail, because of the size you want to get up close. I like the light in the background, dark in the mid section. This creates a softening that allows the viewer to enter in. The introduction of red / orange sets off the green, you get a sense of the eye being led through the composition.

Linda Nelson - Turned out very well, the combination of colors makes for a great composition, good shapes, differing sizes, good. Introduce some line in and out. Use a sharpened stick, it will creat a fluid line with lost and found edges.

Richard St Amant - I like this a lot, he looks great. You could add more colour. Very nice piece.Heather Schaaf - I like it against the

dark background. I would like the edges to be more important, more interesting.


A little fun by artist Seraya Smit.

‘Loving Vincent’Loving Vincent is the world’s first fully painted film. Over 65,000 frames on over 1,000 canvases were painted, with the film shot with actors, and literally painted over frame by frame. It took 4 years to develop the technique, and over 2 years with a team of over 100 painters working at studios in the Polish cities of Gdansk and Wroclaw, and a studio in Athens to complete the film. Produc-ers believe that Vincent’s story cannot really be told without his paintings, so his paintings were brought to life.

The Edmonton Art Club is sponsoring a screening, which will be scheduled in the fall of 2018 in the Orange Hub Theatre. Once a date has been set, all those who have expressed an interest will be notified.

Artist Opportunity: Arts Datathon

On the weekend of November 23, 24, and 25 Data For Good Edmonton, Edmonton Com-munity Foundation (ECF), the Edmonton Arts Council (EAC), and the Alberta Foundation for the Arts (AFA) are hosting a Datathon. The

Datathon is a joint event focused on developing a better under-standing of challenges and opportunities in our communities through the use of data.

During the Datathon partner organizations will provide da-tasets from across the arts sector in Edmonton, Alberta and Canada, including granting data from municipal, provincial and federal funders and other existing research. Volunteers with technical expertise and interest in data analytics will examine the data, exploring larger questions about what this information can tell us about our communities.

We are inviting artists in the greater Edmonton area to sub-mit expressions of interest to participate in the event and create work in any art form during the event, inspired by the interactions with the Datathon volunteers and their findings as they are developed. As part of this opportunity, artists are invited to present their work at the presentation of findings on November 25.

If interested, please contact [email protected] for information on applying. 1 to 4 artists may be selected, and there may be opportunities for collaboration between selected artists. Artist’s remuneration will be up to $840 ($536 each for a full day and $304 each for a half day); a further amount of up to $200 is available to reimburse for supplies for the artist. All creations will remain the property of the artist.

While our legal name remains Visual Arts Alberta Association, we will be now be known throughout Alberta as CARFAC Alberta with a tagline that reads Serving Visual Artists in Alberta. In our latest stra-tegic plan, we identified the need to improve: awareness and clarity of who Visual Arts Alberta – CARFAC is, and what we do. The rebranding (name change and new logo) will help us clarify our messaging so Alberta visual artists will begin to understand who we are and what we believe in.

This month, the Edmonton Art Club juried in 4 new members: Andrew Bedingfield, Sora Han, Mona Innes and Karen Mc-Farlane. All new members will have their own feature page on our web site, including their biography and images of their work. Updates to their page can be done at any time, and if they need help with any part of the process, Seraya Smit, our web master, provides it.

Our web site is an important part of EAC outreach - in fact some of our new members made their first inquiry through the web site. Seraya responds to every inquiry, then forwards it on to which ever member can address it. When the inquiry is about membership, it is forwarded to Jan and Joyce, who follow up and encourage applications.

One of the most important factors in a strong website is attracting new viewers. During the month of September, we can already see visitors to our new member pages. The clarity of the site, new and interesting material and the accuracy of infor-mation all help to bring users back.

We all need to help keep our website interesting by submitting new work and revising our bios as needed.

Thanks to Seraya for being such a great web master!
