November 2015

Many thanks Michael’s arts and

crafts store in Taunton for

supplying canvases at a deep

discount for our monthly painting

sessions with the PRIDE group.

Oct

ober

’s D

emo

We had an enjoyable demonstration with watercolorist

Bill Lane on October 21.

A graphic designer by day, Bill’s hobby is painting. He

likes to paint by music and usually has the drawing

complete on the paper before he paints. He uses Arches

300 lb. cold press paper and a mix of natural and

synthetic brushes. Bill paints from the background to the

foreground and from lights to darks. Although he was

taught to never use white paint, Bill admits that white

gouache is his “magic tool” and he uses it sparingly at the

end of a painting.

Bill told us of an amazing opportunity he had to take

classes with Joseph Zbukvic, who is an outstanding

painter and has work in galleries around the world.

In Sympathy

TAA wishes to express its deepest sympathy to the

family of John Barradas who passed away on October 22

at age 99.

John was great man and artist who was a big part of

Taunton’s history and an integral part of TAA, who has

benefited from all the hard work he put into the

organization over the years.

All of us who knew John, whether for decades or for a

short time, knew what a special man he was. He has

been an inspiration to all of us with his kindness, good

nature and love of his craft.

Our world may seem a little dimmer without him in it

but Heaven just got a lot brighter and more colorful.

Annual Pot Luck Supper

Michele Poirier- Mozzone

On Wednesday, November 18, at 7:00 pm,

TAA will welcome guest pastel demonstrator

Michele Poirier-Mozzone.

Michele has a BFA from Emmanuel College, where

she fell in love with watercolor. As the years went

by she found a new love ~ pastels, which she

incorporated into her watercolors. Back in 2011

she demonstrated the 2 mediums for us. Her new

work for 2015 is pastel and features an aquatic

series including the picture above, entitled Release

II, which has been awarded Honorable Mention in

the Portrait/Figurative Category of Pastel Journal's

17th Annual Pastel 100 Competition. It will appear

in the April 2016 edition of Pastel Journal.

You can view her work at her website,
