February 12, 2025- Broken Yolk Cafe (by Barry; photos by Dawn)
32 exuberant artists packed into the room today, 12 bringing a variety of pieces for discussion.
DISCUSSION
1) Phaya started the meeting by having several of the newer members reintroduce themselves so the rest of us could remember their names.
2) Once again there were many artists being accepted into galleries, many winning awards, and several sales. See Phaya's earlier emails for details. Congrats to you all.
3) A couple of artists detailed unusual techniques they used on their pieces. Sharon used Cold Press Ground (?) on a watercolor piece to overpaint a dark area; Scott explained how to bend a sliver of walnut wood for his sculpture, and Catherine showed how she progressed from sketching jellyfish at the aquarium to creating a design and making a swimsuit for her son; John used paper cays on his small sculpture.
4) As always, check Galleries websites for opportunities.
5) Oh! And check out LE on the runway at Front Porch Gallery this Saturday the 14th.
Next meeting at the Broken Yolk is Wednesday, February 26 at 9:45am.
February Zoom meeting is Monday 2/17 at 10 am. Jpegs to Joan by Friday 2/14 noon, please.

January 22, 2025 - Broken Yolk Cafe (by Phaya; photos by Dawn)
Despite four or five regular attendee absences, 26 enthusiastic members presented 18 pieces of artwork for viewing/critiquing at this morning's meeting. New members, Kathleen Glynn, Catherine Zanuccoli, Hector Gonzalez, and Mark Shkolnik were introduced to the group. Following a brief review of meeting format for the benefit of the new members, the critique of artwork generated considerable interest and feedback.
To accommodate all artists/art works, it will be necessary to limit participants to 1 art piece and implement time limits for suggestions/questions. Members are reminded to inform Phaya of their special exhibits @ various venues, and to provide her with information on any recognition/awards received, including sales of artwork for the monthly ACCOLADES email. It is important that we share the talents and excitement of “winning” with the membership and the community at large.
Additionally, we are open to suggestions for improving our meetings - please share any new ideas with Phaya and the membership.
Our next scheduled B/Yolk meetings are Feb. 12th and 26th. The February Zoom meeting is on the 17th at 10am (link is forthcoming). [Click images to enlarge]
