***************

CES...Cold Easel Syndrome happens sooner or later to most

artists. We manufacture excuses that keep us from painting.

The longer we are away the harder it seems to re-start our crea-

tive energy. Beware, CES can fester for weeks, months, even years.

Does it indicate fear of failure? The sensitive artist may be tripped up

by an insignificant rejection or misunderstanding. Ambitious projects

can bog one down. These trip-ups (of many) can lodge invisibly in the

subconscious. Tell yourself it’s OK to “paint for the trash can”.

No expectations...just start.

Part taken from Roxana Caples, past president of Olympia Art League.

Autumn or Fall

Something happens in the air each year

The summer breeze begins to get cold

The colors are vivid a wonder to see

The wind becomes stronger and bold

The leaves start to dance

In such a magical way

The trees sway in unison

To create a wonderful ballet

We are the audience

As we gaze with great awe

Mother nature has named it

Autumn or Fall

Apples are falling

As their fruit becomes sweet

They are ripe and so crisp

And are ready to eat

The pumpkins become huge

A sight to be seen

And when they are picked

It’s time for Halloween

The nights are longer

The darkness so deep

We seem to get tired more

and enjoy the long sleep

It’s so hard to capture

In words to express

What God has created

With such loveliness

I’m glad for the seasons I give thanks as I pray

We are blessed beyond measure

For every night and each day

By Lon Cole

November Demo: Tis Huberth

“The Positive &

Beneficial Critique”

The word “Critique can bring back stories of

horror and humiliation in the hearts & minds of many artist. After all the

word “critique” means “to criticize” - doesn’t it? Not really - the true defi-

nition actually means “to analyze”. Our very own member—Tis Huberth—

(who has been painting for 53 years and teaching for 33) will talk about the

advantages and many benefits of positive critiquing and the ability to analyze

our own work in order to grow as an artist.

Tis is requesting that members bring a painting in progress—one in which

you wonder if it is “done or needs some possible ideas for improvement”.

For works on paper—please have them in some sort of mat, if at all possible.

She will try to bring a couple of standard sized mats. This lady will change your “attitude” towards the piece you are struggling

with. Tis has had several workshops “ARTESCAPE” during the year @

Camp Arnold. Many have taken her workshops several times. Tis is a Signature member of the International Society of Acrylic Painters,

and an elected member of the Women Painters of Washington. She has won

many awards and is in the permanent collections of King County, Kent, Ren-

ton and SeaTac. Her work has been published in a number of

books, including Splash Nine—a Northlight book. In addition

she has judged many art shows in the area.

President Jim Anderson’s Message for November…. As essential aspect of the culture of

art clubs is that they are inspirational, encouraging and nonjudgmental about each other’s work. This

is certainly the case of Pacific Gallery Artists. There is no belief that there is only one way to do art.

The viewing each others’ art, we may comment on what we find most interesting, ask the artist to

talk about their intention with the piece, comment on the colors, textures, design and techniques we

see. We might ask the artist to comment on what they like most about the piece or if they come with

any questions about the art. For instance, sometimes the artist might ask for ideas about how to deal with the back-

ground or a feature of the piece that just isn’t working out for them. The answers are given in a thoughtful matter of

fact and nonjudgmental way. As I observe how we respond to each’s art at PGA I see us taking

care of each other and the tenderness of the artists

journey. It is often in those conversations that I get

wonderful insights into how each person approaches

their art and the joy of the creative process. It is also

where members can experience a safe, empathetic

and inspirational atmosphere that is essential to the cre-

ative process. The PGA is a good place to be…..
