Art Begets Art by Sally Slattery of Penisula Pulse
Art Begets Art
Egg Harbor continues public art tradition
By Sally Slattery
"We're
tiny but we're mighty," says Barbara Cammack, chair of Egg Harbor's
Public Arts Committee, with a glass of wine in hand. This evening, May
17, is a time to celebrate the varied public arts scattered throughout
the small community and unveil Judi Ekholm's recently installed
painting, "Egg Harbor Meadow."
"It
was fun to do an outdoor painting," says Ekholm, a purple flower pinned
to her black cardigan. "I did some research and took some photos to get
the shape right."
Primarily
an oil painter, switching to acrylic took some getting used to for the
seasoned artist. "I hadn't worked in acrylic for 30 years," she says.
"It doesn't layer like oil."
She
sips her wine and visits with artists and community members present to
catch the first glimpse of the piece, a 7-feet wide by 5-feet tall
painting on the exterior of the Paul Bertschinger Community Center.
At 6pm sharp, Cammack taps a table and calls attention to the crowd, "Follow me!"

Deadline is Monday, so if you have a few files you
might like to share for the news article, send them to me please. They
will ultimately decide, but some great samples will help. Need to

Jim Hempel - Friday Plein Air Workshop Opportunity
For those of you who have not joined me on Facebook, for the first half
of May I have been on the Florida Gulf coast painting as one of 20
invited national plein air painters at "America's Great Paint Out-Florida's Forgotten Coast Plein Air". I encourage you to view the participating artists body of work created at this plein air event at www.pleinairfl.com. We
worked incredibly hard, and the resulting show was the strongest I've
seen in all the years I've been participating in this wonderful plein
air event, or any for that matter. Sales reached an all-time high; the
event kicked up a notch to a whole new level. There was much jubilation
and many fond farewells before we all headed off on our journeys back to
our various home states.
We are looking forward to a great day of painting. I hope you will be able to join us!
Best Regards,
I'm
en route back to Wisconsin today. My regular studio classes will resume
Wednesday morning, as well as morning and afternoon class on Saturday.
There will not be a Tuesday morning class until next week, so I
encourage Tuesday students to make up this week's studio class on
Wednesday or Saturday.
To
welcome spring and start the outdoor painting season, I had offered an
impromptu plein air workshop before leaving in April. Little did I
realize how cold and rainy April would turn out to be. Because the first
effort was dampened by weather, I will be offering a repeat this Friday, May 18th from 10:00
am - 4:00 pm at Monches Farm. I hope all of you who had expressed interest in the first offering will be able to attend this Friday.
The farm is one of our favorite painting spots, offering a picturesque variety
of rustic subjects including expansive perennial gardens, a flock of friendly
sheep, free ranging exotic breeds of chickens, wild country meadows, and a distant view
of Holy Hill Basilica. You can see more images of the farm at their website www.monchesfarm.com
I
will provide a materials list to those who respond to this email with
intent to attend. Please use Mapquest to obtain driving directions from
your start point. Monches Farm is located at 5890 Monches Rd., Monches,
WI 53017.
The
workshop fee for the day will be $50, and will include a lunchtime
demonstration and individual instruction/demonstration throughout the
day. There is no fee to enter Monches Farm. It is a commercial plant
nursery, landscaping and retail business, as well as a farm.
We are looking forward to a great day of painting. I hope you will be able to join us!
Best Regards,
James Hempel
