The Southern Chapter has a full year of informative programs for members and guests at our meetings from September through May.
Our group meets on the second Sunday of each month at 2 pm., in the Good Samaritan Arts and Crafts Room, 3011 Buena Vida Circle, LC,
unless announced otherwise. All are welcome to attend. There may be a nominal fee charged if a non-member is providing a specific
program.

Come to the program, Your Favorite Flower Painting, and bring your favorite floral painting. Everyone will
have the opportunity, in small informal groups, to show the painting they created, to describe their
inspiration behind the painting, and to tell the story of the sentiment they wanted to convey or invoke.
Listen to an introduction on the creative process by Barbara L. Dean, beginning watercolorist and retired
Clinical Psychologist, Psy.D, and enjoy time together with your fellow members!

Victoria West, watercolorist and former gallery owner from Silver City, will present the program, All About Critiquing. Vicki will provide information on a number of topics: how to critique your own paintings, what judges and galleries look for, and how to conduct a critique group. This program is three weeks before the Southern Chapter Spring Show Deadline, thereby allowing members to apply what they learn to their entries. Fee: $5 for members and non-members to cover speaker and out-of-town mileage expenses.

Members will provide a wealth of information at three separate Learning Tables.

Marilyn Gendron, artist, designer and instructor from Silver City, will demonstrate techniques to Create Glowing Color in Watercolor.

Marilyn has a degree in Fine Arts and Art Education from the University of Oregon and taught art in Australia as well as local schools in southern New Mexico. A member of the Mimbres Region Arts Council, she has exhibited in local and regional juried and invitational shows, and is known primarily for her watercolors of the New Mexico landscape.
