Member CRITIQUE
Jim Garrison is leading our critique for November
Critique is held promptly at 5:30 pm to 6:45 pm prior to the General meeting. Paintings and drawings do not need to be framed. Unfinished pieces are welcome for suggestions to finish them. Those members arriving with work after 6:30 risk not having their work critiqued depending on volume of work brought in earlier. Please, one painting per person.
~ Jim Garrison, Critique Master Thank you, Dave, for doing October!
Guest Presenter for November 2nd Harold Nelson
Harold Nelson takes great pleasure in sharing his experience and
expertise with others. He is a warm and nurturing instructor who believes
that in every soul, there is a potential artist. He enjoys most the
opportunity to paint outdoors on-location, which he has done from coast-
to-coast and in the Caribbean. He is conducting on location and still life
workshops across the country. Harold says, "The quality of an artist's
work is at its best when created on-location. Only by involving all of the
senses can the artist perceive the true emotional content of the scene."
Harold has taught sculpting, basic and advanced drawing and plein air oil
painting at Scottsdale Community College since 1990. Harold is an
Instructor both privately and in a private art school for numerous years in
Scottsdale. He is a member of Scottsdale Artist League for 18 years and
is an Honorary Life Member.
Please come to hear Harold discuss what it takes for an artist to be
successful and what it means to be an “Artist in Residence”. Feel free to
visit Harold’s website at www.haroldnelsonart.com.

If you missed the meeting
because of the rain, you missed a
good one! What we lacked in
numbers, we more than made
up for in enthusiasm.
And, you missed a great demo by the very
personable Liz Kenyon. Thanks, Liz!
A special thanks to Beth Hyatt-Rapp for taking
my place at the previous meeting. And another
special thanks to Donna Levine, who will replace
Debra Torres as Vice- President in charge of
programs. Beth and Donna and Debra are some
of the people who make our League possible!
Be sure to check out your local art museums and
galleries and shows. You will be inspired, and, in
some cases, heartened!
And artists can always use inspiration and
heartening.

The official Grand Opening of our Gallery was held the first weekend in October. It was a very well attended
and memorable event. Louise McCall was on hand to receive an Art Alliance Lifetime Achievement award for
her late husband, renowned aviation artist Robert McCall. Mr. McCall was a great friend and supporter of the AZ
Art Alliance, and generously provided the introduction to the Alliance’s publicity video.
Our silent auction at the artists’ reception raised more than $1000 to benefit the Alliance’s Outreach Programs.
Thank you to those artists who donated their work to be auctioned. We truly appreciate your generosity. Special
thanks also to the demo artists whose presence added so much to the weekend’s festivities. We appreciate your
participation and your support of the AZ Art Alliance.
