An Interesting Poem
Cutting Loose
Sometimes from sorrow, for no reason,
you sing. for no reason, you accept
the way of being lost, cutting loose
from all else and electing a world
where you go where you want to.
Arbitrary, a sound comes, a reminder
that a steady center is holding
all else. If you listen, that sound
will tell you where it is and you
can slide your way past trouble.
Certain twisted monsters
always bar the path - but that's when
you get going best, glad to be lost,
learning how real it is
here on earth, again and again.

Hi, TACers!
Small group this time. Pam is back from her travels and kit was great to see her!
39 - Combine the Figure with Landforms
JANIE thought her piece was too bad to bring but she said she used two quick draw figures. Of, course we all wanted to see it! She finished her waterfall and will bring it next time.
PAM did a woman reclining on grass in a green velvet dress and it looked like green undulating hills.
HEATHER hid her woman in a tree trunk that made her dress, mysterious!
SHIRLEY has started a new series. She created a rich background in reds and mahogany Osmiroid ink. She scored the paper around her three figures and got a really interesting effect. Then she is sewed the Muni electric lines map over it with gold thread. Intriguing as always!
MARJORIE had three pieces. Her first was a foreshortened figure as a mountain. She was using a printers paper so her brushstrokes were prominent, to interesting effect. She was working with atmospheric perspective but she wasn’t totally happy with it. Her second was a zoom in of the first with just the head and shoulders. It had a better sense of perspective and she was playing with the brushstrokes. The third was a figure on a beach towel and we were going for the figure as sand and the towel as water but it didn’t seem finished so she will work on it more.
JOANIE didn’t do her homework AGAIN!!!
We talked about how some of us sit to paint, some stand and some do both. Also we are still looking at good books that might be a guide when we complete Goldsmith.
Jeanne Dobie, author of “Making Color Sing”, has a new DVD out with 7 lessons.
Next week: 17 - Use High Key Only
That’s it! Joanie
P.S. I would like to suggest that we have an art supply exchange in two weeks, after we share. Thoughts?
Reception at Center for Spiritual Life
Avelina took some photos of the show in West Portal. She and her husband, Bill, were among the worker bees that helped hang the pieces. Mary, Janie and Heather are seen with some their work and the group shot just shows us enjoying each others company.
