Everyone is welcome! There will be light refreshments.  Our Social Chair\, Renee Richards\, always does a great job providing us with tasty treats! Come by a bit early\, chat and catch up. \nCharles says\, “There are too many approaches to abstract art to get a firm number. So often times getting started is the most challenging part of the process. I will show some guidelines you can use to get going produce a piece of art of which you can be proud. I will do a 16″x20″ piece during the demo.” \nTo try abstract art yourself\, sign up for his next workshop on Oct 20\, 2024! Go HERE to learn more. \nCharles Wallis is a master painter who currently is creating modern impressionist art. He is a graduate of the Baylor University fine art program. After college he opened a graphic design studio beginning his career as a professional artist. His paintings reflect mastery of his craft and versatility in a variety of styles and media. He paints in a variety of styles including traditional realistic\, as well as impressionistic\, abstract and non objective. His works have shown in the TVAA Gallery\, Dallas; Cultivate 7Twelve\, Waco;  Adobe Western Art\, Ft. Worth; Kissing Tree Vineyards Tasting Room\, Eddy;  and The Frame Gallery\, Bryan TX. He recently won Best In Show Irving Art Association 66th Annual Member Show.  In 2021\, the Texas House of Representatives in the 87th session passed a resolution recognizing his art in HR000743. \nARTIST STATEMENT:  The essence of all art is to have pleasure in giving pleasure to others. My art is the expression of my spirit to the spirit of others that connect with it.  I seek to create a memory\, a wish\, a fantasy or moment of joy or peace in the soul of the viewer.  I pursue ideas\, color combinations or images that attract my attention in the abstract;  or as an impression; and some paintings are just for the fun of presenting something in an unusual style. \n\nYou can find out more at his website: charleswallis.com

SUMMARY:General Member Meeting Followed by "Capturing a Moment" with June Russell
DESCRIPTION:This is our annual General Member meeting to vote on proposed slate of new officers for the board of directors. It is important to attend to learn more about our new board and current information about VAS. \nOur May meeting features photographer\, June Russell. As a nature photographer\, June uses her chosen medium as a way to share what she experiences when out in nature.  “By remaining true to the colors and forms I find in nature\, I represent the almost ineffable beauty that surrounds me. A photographer captures a moment so you’re always looking for something special.” \n \nJune hasbeen a fine art photographer for over twenty-five years and has had 5 solo exhibitions and been in numerous group shows. Russell has made presentations to art groups in Texas and Colorado and her work is included in collections around the country. The majority of her work is inspired by nature and often focuses on making abstract images from very close-up photography. June is also creating a totally different body of work based on light patterns and called Visible Frequencies. She is currently serving on the board of directors for Women in the Visual and Literary Arts (WIVLA) for the fifth time. \nOur meeting begins with a 30 minute social time followed by the presentation. The public is invited! \n  \nNo admission fee \n11:30am-Noon: social time \nNoon-1:00pm: presentation \n  \n
