Award winning Florida Artist Speaks at next JWS Monthly Meeting- 4/25/06

Award Winning Florida Artist and FWS Vice President Sue Reynolds

Guest artist at JWS April 25th Monthly Meeting, 7:00 p.m.

A word from Sue … “Being a visual artist is like taking a journey…”
One knows the destination desired, but the things you may see or places you pass through on the way are unknown. Experience makes the journey easier but for me it is always very intuitive and unpredictable. That is the fun and excitement of how I process a painting.
My work is strongly influenced by nature. There is an incredible range of rich color in sunrises, sunsets, shaded places, foliage and the silver and gold glistening of light on water. Nature also provides a wonderful variety of shapes, lines and textures in mountains, rocks, clouds, plains and waters.
Sometimes painting can result from emotional mood or feeling, and a willingness to let something happen. I use everything to apply paint; brushes, sticks, objects, fingers. My mediums are watercolor, acrylics, crayons, ink, charcoal, pencils, rice paper and substances for texture applied to board, paper and canvas. Whatever way the paintings are born, I have a great time.

If you’d like to see Sues work, please check her out at http://floridawatercolor.org/reynolds/

Meeting Location:
FCCJ South Campus
11901 Beach Blvd., Jacksonville
Building ‘N’, Room 103

JWS was founded as a non-profit organization in 1982 to promote watercolor/watermedia as an important and recognized medium in the arts community, and to provide support as well as educational opportunities for the professional to the beginning artist.

Membership is open to anyone who is interested in watermedia. Fee of $35.00 per year includes eight (8) monthly meetings each with demonstrations and lectures by renowned and/or prominent local artists - providing support and arts education for the beginner to the professional. Unless otherwise specified, monthly meetings are held at 7:00p.m. the fourth Tuesday of the month beginning September thru May at FCCJ South Campus on Beach Blvd.

Membership also includes the opportunity to participate in two annual Juried Awards Exhibitions (work must be delivered to JWS we do not ship nor receive artwork via mail), and we strongly encourage volunteerism as well as Board involvement.
