2013 MONTHLY MEETINGS AND DEMOS

RAL’s regular meetings begin at 7PM the last Wednesday of each month in the Community Building at Harry Myers Park, 815 E Washington in Rockwall.  The schedule of demonstrators is far from complete, as we currently have no Vice President/Programming Coordinator.   Here is the schedule thus far:
MAR 27: Nancy Medina - Nancy grew up on a farm in Scurry, Texas where her parents practiced organic gardening, and her love of her floral subjects is obvious in the viewing of her work. She studied art at Monthly Meetings both the University of London and Texas A&M University, and is a signature member of Contemporary Fine Art International. She is also a featured artist and flower painting instructor for the Dallas Arboretum. Nancy is a member of the prestigious Daily Painters Gallery, the original international gallery of 150 artists who produce new daily works of art for collectors across the globe. She is represented by galleries and Texas and California. Nancy is the Managing Editor of Visual Language magazine and a volunteer for Dallas Fort Worth Pug Rescue. She and her husband currently reside in Flower Mound.
APR 24: George DeChiara - George graduated from the American Academy of Art in Chicago where, immersed in the study of color, form, and design, he developed many of the techniques he uses today. It’s also where he developed his practices of painting from life and working daily. Today, George paints both en plein air and in the studio, where he composes everything from masterful landscapes to stunning still lifes in a variety of media. He is a signature member of the Society of Watercolor Artists, and is represented by the Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas. He is a regular participant in the Artists of Texas annual exhibit as well as the annual Texas and Neighbors Exhibition. After living in Chicago, Colorado, and Utah, George now resides in North Texas with his wife and two daughters.

STUDIO DAYS SCHEDULE

Darlene Dittoe reports “a very nice turnout of about twelve artists” for the last Studio Days on February 12th. The next Studio Days will be held April 9th.

Studio Days are an opportunity to gather with fellow artists, enjoy the comraderie of painting in a common space, and learn from one another. You need not be a member of the Rockwall Art League to attend. Studio Days are open to the public. There is a nominal charge of $15 for the entire year or $5 per session.  Bring your own lunch and beverages.

Studio Days are normally held one Tuesday a month from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM at Harry Myers Park Community Center, 815 E. Washington Street in Rockwall.   However, please note that due to a scheduling conflict, Studio Days for June, July, and August will be held at the Fate Community Center, located at 105 East Fate Main Place in Fate.

The Studio Days “regulars” wish to thank Linda McCasland for serving as Studio Days Coordinator for the last three years. Linda is one of the many RAL members who just works quietly and does her job to help out. Thanks from all of us, Linda!
