Despite Rodger's health issues he continued to live his life in a positive manner and provided a  positive role  model for his family and friends - right to the end.  We'll miss him as we begin the new year.

from: From: Jeanne Nikolai Olivieri jeanne@gallery2o7.com

Dear Art Friends,

Gallery 2o7 is excited to feature the work of Ann Baer at a reception on Wednesday November 7 from 6:00 to 8:30 pm! Over 20 of Ann’s spectacular, colorful sculptures will be exhibited. Join us for an evening of art and conversation! Ann will give a talk at 6:45 pm.

An artist for over 50 years, Ann states about this body of work: “ I have never had so much fun creating….Each grouping of objects brings new problems to solve and perhaps, through recycling, a small contribution to saving the earth.”

We look forward to seeing you at Gallery 2o7!

Wisconsin Pastel Artists Exhibit "Unwilling Adjustment, 11/3/18 4-7pm West Bend

from: From: Judy Grochowski

Friends,

It’s getting to be show time!

“Unwilling adjustment” (no hidden meaning-just a fun show title) is the next exhibit of paintings by the Wisconsin Pastel Artists.  Our show will be in West Bend at the Gallery of Wisconsin Artists, with the opening reception Saturday, November 3, from 4-7.  I invite you to join us that evening (and I know this is short notice). 

Schedules being what they are, if you are unable to attend, I hope you will be able to take in the show before it comes down-which will be the Friday after Christmas.

I’ll have 4 plein air pieces in this exhibit; as you can see from the image below, the work is varied and I think you’ll find it well worth your while to take it in.  The WPA is an incredibly talented group of people whom I am blessed to be a part of.

GOWA is a terrific gallery, (if you’ve not had the opportunity to visit this venue, I believe you’ll be impressed!)  It’s just south of MOWA (Museum of Wisconsin Art)-make it a 2-fer!

Namaste and love,

Judy

No need to RSVP

Apologies if you have rec’d this invite more than once

Milwaukee Sketch Club at San Laurio Coffeehouse 9/26/18

New tables! Autumn Decor.

Next Friday we plan to go to Bakers Square in West Allis.
10200 W National Ave, West Allis, WI 53227

Milwaukee Sketch Club at Starbucks 10/19/18

Just two of us this week.

Yes, we were here last week, but we really like the ambience, large tables, and space there.

Next Friday we are thinking of going to San Laurio Coffeehouse in Muskego.

Milwaukee Sketch Club at Starbucks 10/12/18

Too cold for Wadewitz. Brr! So went to Starbucks.

Hope next week is at least 50 F and sunny so we can hopefully paint some Fall colors at 7 bridges.

Directions:
The address listed for the bridges in Grant Park ( 100 E Hawthorne Ave) goes to the golf club house. From there drive North PAST sections 5&6 to a small parking area on the right. That is the entrance to the bridges. If you park in the lot in Section 5&6, the entrance to the bridges is behind the pavilion( kinda hard to spot).

Or
Take college ave to end, Turn right into park? (at second entrance? by traffic light?) Bridges are on your left.

Milwaukee Sketch Club at Crossover in Waterford 10/5/18

Got rained out so went and sketched in Crossover Cantina and Eatery, 28023 Kramer Rd, Waterford, WI 53185. Very nice place.

Going to try to go to Wadewitz next Friday at 9am

We decided that our alternative default location for rain will be Starbucks, 4741 S 76th St in Greenfield, just south of Layton on the west side of 76th street near Kopps.

Hopefully we will get to paint outside a couple more times this year before it snows.

Hop on the October ART Bus! Friday 10/19/18 6-9:30pm

Advice for aspiring artists by Mike Svob

from: mikesvob@gmail.com

Hi,
My name is Mike Svob.
Since 1982, I have been a full-time artist based in Vancouver, Canada. I am the author of "Paint Red Hot Landscapes That Sell” and a former president of the Federation of Canadian Artists. Over the past 30 years, I have shared my skills and love for painting via workshops across North America and Europe. Through these workshops, I have taught and mentored hundreds of artists at different stages in their development.

This Winter, I am embarking on a new and exciting project - an online course for acrylic painters of all skill levels. You can get a taste of the course and my teaching style on my new YouTube Channel where I share painting tips, techniques, and business advice on a weekly basis.

If you feel that this opportunity would be well received by the members of Milwaukee Sketch Club, I encourage you to sign up here for updates and additional information.

When I was the President of the Federation of Canadian Artists (FCA), we constantly struggled to get quality resource materials to share with our members. I have written three articles for beginner, intermediate and advanced painters that I am happy to share with your members. Feel free to access them here.

Thanks for your time. I look forward to the prospect of working with Milwaukee Sketch Club!
Best regards,
Mike Svob

Covered Bridge Art Studio Tour 10/12-14

Covered Bridge Art Studio Tour

October 12 – October 14, 2018

Friday 4 – 8 pm   |  Saturday 10am – 5pm  | Sunday  11am – 4pm

​Your tour begins anywhere.
​The Covered Bridge Art Studio Tour is a 36-year tradition for art enthusiasts. During this free self-guided tour through Ozaukee and Washington Counties, 45 Guild artists from Mequon to Newburg will open their studio spaces to the public.

 

 Thirty-six years ago, this event began as a studio and gallery tour in historic Cedarburg. Today, it is a unique opportunity for people to get an up close and personal look at some of Southeastern Wisconsin’s finest artists and the spaces in which they work.

​The colorful Autumn rural drive between locations encompasses farm fields, pumpkin patches, Lake Michigan shoreline, picturesque small towns and even a 1876 wooden Covered Bridge, one of the few remaining in Wisconsin.  And to add to the fun, many of the studio spaces are in restored stores, mills and barns.  Most of the artists will be creating art during the event. They are always happy to stop what they’re doing to greet visitors, talk with guests about their inspirations and artistic process and sell their artwork to interested buyers.

Milwaukee Sketch Club at Delafield Fish Hatchery 9/21/18

Very windy, partly cloudy. Comfortable temperature. Nice Fall day.
Didn't wander into downtown Delafield but it has some interesting architecture.
Friday night there was an artwalk.

It looks like we could paint the pond from our cars in winter if we wanted to.

Next Friday outing is Greenfield park. If it rains we probably will go to a coffee shop.
