2010 13TH ANNUAL POSTCARD EXHIBIT

DATES: June 20, 2010 through July 25, 2010

Craig Lucas, Kent State University Emeritus Professor was the awards judge for this year's exhibit and had this to say:
"I really enjoyed the necessary concentration because of the postcard format limitation. I was pleased with the dimensionality-texture of some of the works. Several I selected were of that nature. I was drawn to the collages that were, for want of a better description - 'poetic', that is there was some sense of scale, in surprise of color or rhythmic incident that played a part in the composition. The range of expression was impressive."

Equine Art and Kids arts classes
cool temperatures within Emerald Downs!
hence the return laughter! His reflection is in the glass...
so much for a "serious" artist type photo!
Had two back to back Comic Book classes Tue-Friday at the Olympia center for the Parks and Rec... 9 to noon and 1 to 4 pm. Both classes had 12 students age 8-12 - WOW... what energy! Here is one of the students using the light box... Even though the class was 3 hours most managed to really focus and produce really nice work. I did break out the "Garfied" cartoon books for the last hour - quiet reading and silence... thankful for their elementary teachers who instill the habit of quiet reading!
