FROM THE PRESIDENT’S PEN
_______________________________ January 2016
New Years are funny auld things. It can be like pressing a ‘Re-set’
button on our lives, to assess where we’ve come from and where
we’re going, (or hope to go). Some people look forward to the
blank canvas, yet to be written, (or painted upon), some people
look back at the ‘good old days’, when life was less/ more complicated. It can be a chance to make resolutions, to strive for a
better tomorrow. Sometimes it feels like the world is spinning
out of control, and the latest News Headline makes us dizzy with
what the world is turning into. But in this often madcap and crazy world, we can still do our ‘bit’ to make our own small corner
of this world a more beautiful place—with our ART!!

~Jan Program: Watercolor Demonstration by Steve Zazenski~
The January 14th Warren County Arts group meeting
will feature Steve Zazenski professional artist, demonstrating his watercolor techniques. Steve received his
B.F.A from New York Institute of Technology and has
been a full time artist since 1978. He is known primarily for his traditional landscapes, through which he has
developed a series of classes and workshops entitled
“A Logical Approach to Watercolor". Steve will do a
complete watercolor from start to finish. As he
is painting he will
explain everything he is doing, including color mixes and
values. Steve will also answer any questions from the audience as to materials, thinking behind the choice of subject, or anything else they wish. Steve’s presentation is
funded in part, by the Warren County Cultural and
Heritage Commission.
The meeting will be held at 7pm Thursday Jan 14th in the Oxford Municipal Building, 11 Green Street, Oxford, NJ 07863. The
public is welcome. Refreshments will be served. There is a $2 fee for non-members wishing to participate. Call Warren County
