SEPTEMBER 1ST PRESENTER
Kelby Love
Kelby never doubted the focus of his life, from childhood,
his interest in nature, particularly fish, was enthusiastic and
comprehensive, due to the many trips to the river with his
father. Kelby has observed, sketched and painted animals
since he can remember, and it has translated into firsthand
knowledge of his subjects, which he transforms into
exacting detail for his clients, Field & Stream, Outdoor Life
and National Geographic.
Kelby has taken the next step and created a full line
of wildlife art. With the same exacting detail, the artwork
conveys a sense of inner vitality that makes them more the
mere paintings; they place the viewer into a particular living
moment. fOR

Member CRITIQUE: Sept 1st Jim Garrison is leading our critique. All members & guests
are invited to participate with work and suggestions for the work. Please join us! Critique begins promptly at 5:45 pm and runs to 6:45 pm prior to the General meeting. Paintings and drawings do not
need to be framed. Unfinished pieces are welcome for suggestions to finish them. Those members arriving with work after 6:15 risk not having their work critiqued depending on volume of work brought in earlier.
1 painting only per person please. Participants in the critique please do not bring paintings freshly wet, oils particularly, as the paint gets on our hands and clothes from handling the pieces and then paint is transferred to other works and the carpet in the critique area. If you have a frame to put the painting in for handling purposes that will be appreciated. Thanks from the critique leaders.

Dear SAL members, Guests and Art Lovers,
Our initial membership drive has concluded, with
very good results including 14 new members.
I’m looking forward to receiving my engraved
permanent nametag. With so many members
away at this time of year, it’s very hard to collect
dues from everyone.
For that reason, the Board is working to push
back the membership date to October 1st. That
means everyone who joins or renews now will
get 3 extra months. Thanks to the hard work of
our Membership Chairman, David Amsellem,
and assistant, Isabel Huin, the coming weeks will
bring in many more renewals. Thank you also to
Pamela Shearer for researching and arranging
for our nametags.
At the August 4th General Meeting, we were
treated to a wonderful and informative
presentation about the brand new Museum of the
West, located in the Scottsdale Arts District.
Guide, Allen Fossenkemper, a walking
encyclopedia of western art and history, took us
on a slide tour with amazing explanations that
left me very anxious to take the real tour. Thank
you to Pat Serie, our Programs VP, for bringing
him to us.
With the oppressive heat we’ve been
experiencing here in the Valley of the Sun, it’s a
great time to stay inside and paint, sculpt, work
on photos or whatever creative pursuits you
enjoy. It’s also a great time to try something new
that you’ve been itching to do. Don’t be afraid---
”Just do it!” It may come out wonderful.
Creatively yours,~ Freddie Lieberman

Butterfly Wonderland: Photo Dates are August 26; September 8th, September 22nd; October 8th, October 21st; November 5th, November17. The Show is November 27th which is "Black Friday" and Nov. 28th . This is a non-juried show and no subject matter requirements, however, SAL would like your artwork to be a nature/rain forest theme. We are hoping to make this show as big as the Desert Botanical Garden Show. Each artist will have a panel for hanging artwork and there will be tables to display cards, jewelry, magnets, etc. Entry fee will be $25. I am working to advertise this Show. This is a great venue to move your artwork as a painting sells you can replace it with another piece of artwork. BW will receive 20% commission and SAL will get 10% commission and the artist will receive 70%.
Check the newsletter or pick up a printed copy from Marsha for those dates.
Tee shirts have ordered for the show and general sales in pink, blue and yellow. They will only have our logo in front and
nothing on back. Sizes Large, XLarge will be $10. And 2XXLarge will be $12

Allen Fossenkemper, Museum Tour Guide, spoke about the Museum of the West,
Arizona’s newest public attraction located in historic downtown Scottsdale, 3830 N. Marshall Way, Scottsdale, AZ 85251.
The city of Scottsdale has long been recognized as a center for art, civic heritage, community celebrations, and a focal point for cultural tourism in Arizona. In keeping with this tradition, the museum serves as the western anchor to the arts and cultural district, linking several vibrant residential, commercial and entertainment neighborhoods, while enhancing pedestrian’s enjoyment of the respected gallery community on nearby Main Street.
We are looking forward to the many ways Scottsdale Artists League and the Museum of the West will work together to benefit
both non-profit organizations. http://scottsdalemuseumwest.org/ Thank you, Allen.
Artist of the Month winners were announced. The committee was not present so ribbons will be presented next month. Thank
you to Linda Wickstrom and Donna Lewis who stepped up to count votes for us.
