He captures fleeting moments in their interaction as they go about their daily pursuits. Arne does not try to paint pretty people or contrived scenes, but real situations catching the warmth and earthiness of his subjects. Whether ballet dancers, Jewish scholars, street people, New Yorkers, Portlanders, Virginians with their horses, they are all painted with directness, emotion and movement. His paintings have depth, feeling and more than a hint of impressionism. Paintings by Westerman are in permanent collections of art museums and universities throughout the U.S. His awards include the Jane Peterson Award from Allied Artists of America in l990 Exhibition, the l989 Watercolor West Exhibition Grand Prize, three Grand Prizes from the Northwest Watercolor and Midwest Watercolor socie- Sassy Zipper Dancers Finish Theresa at Work Hot Dogs Kati SCENE ties, as well as numerous other awards including the Salmagundi and the National Arts Club in New York in l988. In l994, Arne was invited to join the American Watercolor Society as a signature member becoming one of only three Oregonians to hold this honor. l994 was also the year that Arne's very successful book, PAINT WATERCOLORS FILLED WITH LIFE AND ENERGY was published (now sold out and a collectors item). Westerman is a native of Oregon, attended Reed College and earned his degree in journalism at the University of Oregon. George Hamilton was his first art teacher along with Sergei Bongardt, David Leffel, Milt Kobayashi and Willam Reese. Arne is now a successful teacher traveling nation wide holding watercolor seminars. He is also a member of the National, Northwest, and Oregon Watercolor Societies.

Karin Michele Anderson - Bicycles of Buggs 2. Michael Bales -- Sun Draped 3. Cecy Turner -- Enduring Through Pat Dews to Kick Off 2008 with March Workshop Pat Dews, a graduate of The Fashion Institute of Technology, New York City, is a signature member of the American Watercolor Society, the National Watercolor Society, the National Collage Society and the National Association of Women Artists. Dews creates experimental works in watermedia on paper and canvas. She paints the abstract essence of nature. The shapes and textures of flowers, rocks, water and crumbled walls are translated into richly layered paint surfaces. Collage is often integrated. Dews skillfully juggles organic and geometric forms, transparent and opaque paint all held together by a basic abstract underlying shape. It is this intricate dance, rendered in strong color and value, which produces her award-winning paintings. When Pat paints, it is a lively, fascinating performance as she shows that, with the simplest tools, less can become more, much more. Pat is an enthusiastic, popular instructor, teaching workshops internationally. She takes great delight in her students' many successes. Pat is the author of Creative Composition & Design (The Painter’s Workshop), 2003, and Creative Discoveries in Watermedia, 1998, published by North Light Books. Her work has appeared in numerous books and publications. Dews’ video, Designing Great Starts with Texture and Form is available through Cheap Joes. Acadia Remembered Pat lives in Hobe Sound, Florida and spends summers in Southold, New York.

WWW.SWSWATERCOLOR.ORG PAGE 7 Donna Zagotta Workshop Proves Delightful for Participants Twenty artists from around the state joined Donna Zagotta at a fast-paced and interesting SWS Donna’s demonstration at the September meeting workshop in early September. Concentrating on design -- first in value, then in color -- the class made many studies leading to strong and simplified design. Only then did they render these in a painting. Zagotta, with memberships in both NWS and AWS, is known for her figure studies that have that "Wow" factor, rendered in opaque watercolor, often painted on watercolor board. Students left the threeday workshop with a renewed interest in planning first, then painting. "No more Ready -Fire -- Aim," said one participant. SWS has four more workshops planned for this year and next. Check into these: Miles Batt in October, Arne Westerman in November, Pat Dews in March and Gale Webb in April. 2007 dues were due July 1st.
