In this demonstration, Eric
Merrell will use a still life
arrangement as an avenue to
study color and design.
Eric worked with Al Gury at The
University of the Arts and The
Pennsylvania Academy of Fine
Arts, both in Philadelphia. After
two years, he transferred to Art
Center College of Design in
Pasadena. During school Merrell
worked at the Norton Simon
Museum, where the long hours
on the job offered plenty of time
to study and sketch from the collections. He also worked for the
California Art Club, researching
historic material and at one point
interviewing Evelyn Payne
Hatcher, the daughter of Edgar
and Elsie Payne, early CAC
members. Upon receiving a BFA
with honors and graduating from
Art Center in 2001, Merrell pursued painting.
Merrell’s work has been exhibited at the Bennington Center for
the Arts in Bennington, VT; the
Bowers Museum of Cultural Art

President’s Message
Summer is just about
behind us and we are
looking forward to an
exciting fall season for
GAA. We were not totally on vacation during
July and August as our
Fall Salon 2012 team
was busy planning our
next big show. We had
half a dozen or so meetings—and we made
sure to have plenty of
munchies and a lot of
laughs at these sessions.
We are on track for
another great show
and have seven sponsors
helping out to meet our
goal of five scholarships
for art students. By now
you have all received the
Call For Artists and
have seen that there are
cash or gift certificate
awards in all eight cate-
gories for 1st, 2nd, and
3rd prizes. Note that the
Glendale Images award
is a $300 gift certificate
from Swains! If you
don't have a Glendale
image ready to submit
now, there is still time
to paint (or sculpt or
photograph) one.
Shree has put
together another
paint-out schedule
for our twice-amonth opportunity
to get together and
paint en plein air
and...yes...get together
for some artist camaraderie over lunch.
We are featuring a
notable artist demonstrator at our September 12 meeting, Eric
Merrill. At the end of
his demo he will be raf-
fling off a place in an
upcoming Eric Merrill
workshop. Don't miss
this chance to win a
valuable workshop experience with a topnotch artist.
See you at the September 12 meeting and
don’t forget to bring an
artwork for the mini
show—it is a good way
to see what members
are currently creating
—and a good way to get
feedback on your work.
