2. We wish Richard and Sandy a productive period at their home in Arizona through the winter.
3 Several members attended last Fridays COAL Panel Discussion on Pricing your Art . Suggested simple rule of pricing at $1 per square inch, or $100 per square foot, was discussed.
4. Louise suggested using Surgical Tape instead of masking tape to mask paint. She also showed a pad of DURA LAR polyester sheets that's allow you to paint on and place over your work to see how different colors (or background) will work.
6 Phaya presented a short exercise where you paint something typical of your usual pieces, but include two techniques you never use e.g., outlining, texturing etc. Then you paint the same, or similar piece, using a different pallet to what is normal for you. She said doing this exercise changed the way she uses colors in her work.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2023 - Broken Yolk Cafe (by Barry Robson; photos by Dawn)
Another full house (almost) with 17 members attending. Mostly new and in-progress pieces were up for discussion.
DISCUSSION:
1. Phaya welcomed Ken to the meeting. Ken works in wood and brought a beautiful wood model car as an example of his work.
2. Phaya noted that seven members, including Chris, Laurie and Joan from the Zoom group, had their work accepted at Brooks Theater in Oceanside.
3. Dawn will be having a solo show at the Oceanside Bakery on Mission Ave, opening on 11 October.
4. Scott will be moderating a panel discussion about Sales, Pricing and Social Media at the COAL monthly demonstration at the Carlsbad Community Center on October 5th
5.Virtual Exhibit shows were discussed as this type of opportunity seems to be increasing through Online Juried Shows and other social media platforms. Many appear to be through small art galleries such as Las Lagunas (see last meeting minutes). Although most are juried shows, galleries are able to accept many more submittals than the actual gallery has wall space for. This is a great revenue source for the gallery; however, your entry may not get the desired exposure you hope for.
6. Phaya suggested we should schedule a group discussion on AI and its impact on artists at an upcoming meeting.
7. Other items discussed included Goldens Flat Paints, and the use of wet strength tissue paper on collage.
8. Phaya's planned demo of how to approach an abstract (see her email) will now be at the next meeting.

There were seventeen attendees today. We welcomed a new member, Guiti, who joined AGNC via the Zoom meetings. She shared several pieces with us at the critique.
Eileen ran the meeting in Phaya’s absence. There were a few announcements. Jazzercise submissions were mentioned, along with Art on 30th/Ashton Gallery show. Both are taking applications that are cut off very soon. Scott shared that he has two pieces of work in an upcoming Oceanside Museum of Art exhibit that runs from 6/24 to 11/5. The opening reception is June 24th, 5-7PM. Michael attended the meeting and looked very well.
Jamie suggested that we have an art exchange, a work swap, or a raffle, possibly in July. Further discussion would be good. Richard shared some pieces where he used copper paint, which brought on some discussion. Vickie shared a painting and addressed using Gesso with watercolors. Caroline discussed using salt, as demonstrated in the painting she shared. Ulrika discussed her use of collage paper and how it added depth to the piece she shared. All of these discussions were very informative to the art making process.

NOVEMBER 30, 2022 - Broken Yolk Cafe (by Barry Robson)
Ten members attended today, five bringing pieces for discussion (see photos below). The pieces provided for lively discussion of techniques, including whether or not to paint the edges of wrap-around canvases; and use of old drip paintings as background for new work.
Phaya mentioned again that members need to seriously consider showing up for meetings at the restaurant, even if it is once a month, so we can continue to have the space available without a surcharge. [Things for everyone to consider: (i) We may not have an AGNC if support/attendance does not improve (ii) How will you feel, without the support of an art group? (iii) What if Phaya gets discouraged and abandons the group? (iv) FYI, the restaurant offers us a $9.99 special menu, and includes coffee for $1. I doubt you can find a better deal. (v) If you need a New Year's resolution, this could be it.]
Don't forget the AGNC Holiday Party on December 14th at 10:30 am. Bring a wrapped piece of your art for the fun gift exchange.
There will be NO Zoom meeting in December.

Thirteen members today, bringing 10 art pieces for discussion. See photos below.
We will have an AGNC exhibition at the Downtown Oceanside Library starting on October the 14th and running for 6 weeks.

The call for art at the San Marcos Community Center was limited to San Marcos residents, so no action is required.
The COAL Open Show exhibit closes soon, so if you have not seen it, you'd better hurry.
Phaya has been experimenting with Masters Touch acrylic paint from Hobby Lobby, and is impressed. It has good pigment and consistency
