Tonight is our very popular Members' Art Critique. President, Rozenia Cunningham started the meeting with brief announcements about our upcoming events ... the "Everything Magical" exhibit, July 2 to July 30 at The Heights Library Lee Road Art Gallery in Cleveland Hts. and the upcoming Beachwood Community Art Show in the fall, plus other events. Guest Charlene Joyce asked for artists to display their artwork in the upcoming Euclid Pond & Garden Tour.

Leigh's main point for everyone using canvas for painting ... "paint your edges!" She brought up great ideas for each piece, reminding us to use the rule of thirds and the golden ratio of 1:0.62 in composition!

She brought different ideas for each piece, from changing an angle, to adding a contrasting color, and everything in between. All members enjoyed being able to bring in their art and getting different ideas or perspectives on their pieces.

We thank Leigh Brooklyn for traveling from Vermilion, OH, over an hour away, to do the EAA annual June critique of members' art. Members commented that this was the best critique ever. Visit her website, https:// www.leighbrooklyn.com/
