“There are two kinds of artists, the emotional painter and the academician. The academician can paint into old age sitting on his stool licking his canvas until 98 years of age. The emotional artists burn himself up; he does not live long. The academician always creates something acceptable, boring, but acceptable. The emotional artist often misses, but when he hits, it is breathtakingly beautiful… touched by the gods!”

Sergei Bongart 1918-1985

Fariad - Feb 17 Artist Demonstrator - Try to be there...

Fariad`s passion for painting began when he was a young boy. He hosted his first exhibition with 36 paintings when he was just 12 years old, and he hasn`t put the brush down since.

He grew up painting the beaches, people and rainforests of his home, the Caribbean island of Trinidad. This established the foundation for Fariad to develop his skills as an artist.
Fariad left Trinidad when he was awarded an art scholarship to Syracuse University in New York.

After two years, he dropped out and bounced around to different schools while constantly honing his craft. His greatest education came from painting on the streets of Los Angeles. Fariad sold his "Wildland Images" to everybody he met—the rich, the poor and the indifferent. He feels privileged to have made a living as an artist and has won numerous accolades for his work.

Fariad now spends most of his time at the Parrish Pioneer Ranch in the San Bernardino Mountains of California. He paints the people, the places and the things he sees in Oak Glen, Calif., where his gallery is located.

Artist Statement: "I have been documenting this poetry in life for some 38 years now. I currently live in the United States, and my paintings have expanded beyond wildlife to include landscapes and Western art. I try to expose the image with deliberate and rhythmic brushwork and a mesh of thick and thin paint to try and capture the life and feeling of what I am looking at."

DESERT ART CENTER

   Monday, I walked into the Desert Art Center with my daughter, Lynda.  Caroline Lundgren and Cynthia Vaughn were there to help us and show us around.  We saw some truly beautiful things.

 

   They have a great display of art there this month.  We enjoyed looking at all the pictures and sculptures, collages, gourd vases, etc. A few are displayed below.

   Caroline and Cynthia both have pictures on display in the gallery and Jim Glass, also Laverne Mandersheid.  They are all members of the SPA City Paletteers.  Hope you enjoy seeing the following:

 

"Copper Canyon" by Cynthia Vaughn

"Pretty Bird" by Cynthia Vaughn

"Garden Retreat"  by Laverne Mandersheid

"Wild Roses" and "Sweet Pea"  by Caroline Lundgren

" Mt. Hood in Fall" by Jim Glass

A painted and decorated gourd.

Here we are with Cynthia admiring some of the beautiful slab pots and sculpture.

Fariad, "The Artist of Oak Glen" who paints to document the poetry of life will be our Guest Artist in an oil painting demonstration at the Paletteers Club Meeting,  Feb.17, 2010 at the Corkhill Palms Club House.  You will enjoy checking out his website at wildlandimages.com

January 20 Meeting

Terry Masters was the guest demonstrator today.  He moved to Palm Springs in 1967 and loves to plein air paint the desert scenes.  He says he looks for things that catch his eye and does his best to render them in an honest, painterly way.  He tells his friends he is "the painter of whatever"  He has a website at:  terry@desertpainter.com

CHRISTMAS LUNCHEON

     Members went to the home of Marge Schnell for our annual Christmas Potluck luncheon. Marge lives in Desert Crest Country Club and we followed one another there after the business meeting at Corkhill Palms Motor Home Park. Marge has a beautiful home and it was decorated for the holidays.
Of course all the food was scrumptious and we all ate too much.
     Hand made Christmas cards were exchanged.  If any one took any pictures of them, please send them to me so they can be posted here.  Thanks so much.

RCB Sharing Christmas Program

It’s that time - to think of those who do not have the ability to provide a Christmas for their children. Here at RCB we have the “Sharing Christmas Program”. We have added, by request from some of you to have an entire family to provide the Christmas for. This year your “Sharing” if needed so badly as the homeless and needy have increased so much it will be a hard time for so many. So please Share.

The Christmas Tree is set-up in Clubhouse 1 and the names of needy children are placed on it. Please go and choose a girl or boy to share your Christmas with; by finding some items on their wish list, wrapping them up and for convenience placing them in one big bag ($1.00 store has some good ones) with the Christmas card attached (that lists the CM# of the child, this is our tracking number, ensuring that the right name receives the right gift. Bring the bag down to Clubhouse 1 and place under the Christmas Tree, we will make sure they are delivered. Any questions call Pat 76-775-1484 or come to Lot 46.
We also, have the names of a few needy families, if you can manage to provide a special Christmas for more than one, contact Pat 775-1484 and she will let you know what is available.
We have many adults in the valley who are homeless and in great need for warm clean clothing; if you have anything a used jacket for example, make sure it is clean, Christmas wrap it and write on the label, men’s Size Large or Women’s Size small. Place these under the Christmas tree as well and they too will be delivered to the needy. Another great gift is a warm blanket or sleeping bag, as it gets colder not everyone has a bed indoors.
During the winter there is always a shortage of food and we will have a food bank container set-up in Clubhouse 1 to put your donations into, if you are purchasing a gift card please deliver them to Lot 46, Ron and Pat Johns Lot #46, 775-1484 or Michelle Tracy Lot #81, 775-3660.
We want to thank you for helping to make this Christmas a little brighter with your donations. The gift of giving is a great boost to all of us.
