Vietnam Art Tour
Annie Palmer, assisted by Sharon O’Hearn, gave a great talk on their recent trip to Vietnam. In a kind gesture Annie donated back the $50 given to her (as we do to all our demonstrators) to help rebuild the Society’s coffers. 
Deanne Newland - Acrylic and Alcohol Inks.
Deanne Newland inspired many of us to experiment with acrylic and alcohol inks on yupo paper. The photos show her bright creations of acrylic ink abstract landscapes and alcohol ink flowers. Lee-Anne is organising a Soc of Art workshop with Deanne later in the year.

Jennifer Grace - Post Modernism.
Jennifer says: “I am a Post Modern style art-worker. I like to use symbolism and draw inspiration from historical themes,anything from the ancients to the post impressionist period. Much of my past work reflects a particular interest in medieval tapestries and ancient Greek mosaics. Pattern is a passion which I explore with linocut mono-printing, acrylic, shellac, charcoal, ink, graphite. The effect is reminiscent of tapestry or mosaic.

Bob Saxon - Plein Air Painting
Bob inspired many who attended the meeting with his enthusiasm for plein air painting. He showed a series of photos of places he'd been, the scenes that inspired him and the resulting paintings.
You can read an article Bob has written about Plein Air painting here.
