It matters little what I paint. It matters much that I paint. A certain glance, attitude, light or mood communicates with me strong enough to get me motivated to speak back. Then I go to my studio and pick up chalk or brush. It is there at the easel where I find contentment, simple yet abundant with memories and moments I wish to record.�C.L.Burgess https://cathyannburgessfineart.com/ June 21 Business meeting followed by demonstration by Cathyann.

Combining my enjoyment of the intricate process of drawing with the wet on wet techniques of watercolor is how I approach my painting. Most of my work is representational, depicting strong light and with an emphasis on color and design. Close-up and unusual view-points add an element of abstraction to the imagery, whether the subject is fruit, foliage, architecture or the figure. By simplifying a subject’s light and shadow patterns, I accentuate the dynamic interplay of positive and negative shapes.� July 19th: Business meeting followed by demonstration from Sue August 7 & 8th: Pastel workshop with Nancy Nowak, from 9- to 4.
