December 9 is our Christmas party. January 2015 – Kathryn Tartaglia, Watercolor February – Lewis Lehrman, “Travel Journaling” March – Annette Smith, watercolor portrait April – assigned theme for critique “I have been an arts and crafts person most of my life, but after deciding to take a class in watercolor followed by one in pen and ink, I was hooked on this part of the creative arts. Soon pencil drawing became the most fun and in a few years I began doing commissioned pieces of children and pets. I found out about a class in palette knife painting in oil, and because I had always been interested in this style, I signed up. I have never looked back. I love the bright colors and “feel” of working in oils. I know that God has sent me on this journey, weaving my life with creative ideas, colors that dance and a gift to dream, allowing me to be myself and asking me to only use His world for my palette.” Judy can be reached by email at: [email protected] and you can view her gallery at: fineartartamerica.com/profiles/Judith-koppes.html Elvie Becker “I am a self taught artist who has been painting mostly portraits in oil since 2008. I love to paint, but I also work for Mesa Public Schools as an Instructional Assistant with Special Needs Children in Elementary Schools. I am married, have four sons and ten grandchildren. In this painting I painted my niece hugging her beloved dog Duncan, who passed away due to a sudden illness. I wanted the girl to be in the background and the dog to be the focal point. I also love doing studies of paintings done be the Renaissance Masters like Michelangelo, Raffaello and Caravaggio.” KEEP IT COMING Remember to bring items for our servicemen and women. Also bring teddy bears for the kids at the Crisis Center. These help the children get through some tough situations. Bring in photos of events you have participated in for the history books.

We won the Ripple project grant! The focus is to highlight the City of Mesa as seen through the eyes of its creative souls. In other words, your entry should be about some aspect of life in Mesa. A notice has been already been issued to the Mesa schools, including the colleges and universities, to get students involved in exhibiting. Now we are calling for adults (over 18 years old) of two-dimensional art, photographers, writers of short stories and poems, as well as musicians to enter their creations. Ribbons and monetary prizes will be awarded to the top three in each of the following categories: 1) under 12; 2) 12-through 18; 3) adults who live or work in Mesa; and 4) adults who are members of a AAAaffiliated art league. Finished artwork is not to exceed 20 by 24 inches. Each may be designated for sale with a quoted price or not for sale (NFS). The drop-off date is November 29, between 10 AM and 3 PM at either of the two tents at Linton-Milano Music (the piano store) or Margaritas Grill on Main Street, between Center and MacDonald Avenues. Our League members will set up to exhibit and sell their art along Main Street between these two venues. On Friday, December 19, the public will vote for their favorite entry from the winning entries of all categories and the winner will be announced that evening. The Ripple grant will cover costs for insurance, publicity, live entertainment, and food samples and demos. The entry form and a fuller explanation is on the MAL website at mesaartleague.com.
