COUNTDOWN TO ASENCIO.....AND SALSA! October is finally here and since we got to talk to Henry Asencio ourselves at the Las Vegas Art Expo last weekend, we're more excited than ever about his visit! Why??? Because Henry will not only conduct a drawing demonstration from a live model during the evening, this nationally acclaimed figurative artist will be taking breaks to teach guests how to salsa! Those of you interested in Asencio's work and in meeting the "Young Master" should let us know as soon as possible so that we may include you on our invitation list. Invitations have already been mailed, and we only have a few left over! We look forward to giving Henry Asencio a warm welcome at his solo show where wine and light refreshments will be served.

NEW ARRIVALS
We would like to introduce the artworks of Ed and Kate Coleman. The artists from North Carolina work together to create a series of one of a kind ceramics which are each hand painted. Inspired by nature's plants, landscapes and wildlife, the Coleman's are drawn to both the asymmetry and balance found in the world. The designs are purposefully simple - made for everyday use. The Clique vases can be used for elegant single flowers, individual leaves or simply decoration. The Clique tiles look best in groupings and hang easily on the wall. |

 Russ's award winning image for MAF '06 |
PRIVATE ACRYLIC PAINTING LESSONS Award winning artist, Russ Taylor who honed his talents at Ringling School of Art & Design, is offering private one-on-one instruction in his Indialantic studio. His stylized figurative paintings are known for their combination of solid composition, color and use of texture. The areas where Russ can help you are: - Using texture and color in new ways - Drybrush technique - Strengthening works by simplifying detail & amplifying the important features - Developing your own style to set your work apart This is for artists of any skill level interested in exploring new ways of painting. Many of the acrylic painting techniques can be applied to watercolors and oils. With a nontraditional approach, Russ does not teach photo-realism, or how to draw perfectly proportioned subject matter. That’s somebody else's class! Cost is $30.00 per 2 hr class/ one day per week (2 Class Minimum) |

PAUL CEZANNE: When I judge art, I take my painting and put it next to a God made object like a tree or a flower. If it clashes, it is not art. |
PABLO PICASSO: It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child. |
