The Euclid Art Association’s next monthly meeting is Monday, November 4, at 7:00p.m. in the Fellowship Hall of East Shore United Methodist Church, 23002 Lakeshore Blvd., in Euclid.  Join us for an evening of art.  Remember, it’s BYOT (Bring Your Own Treats) to share with 6 to 8 people after the meeting.  All are welcome to attend.  Guest fee is a $3.00 donation.

The November meeting features national award winning photographic artist, Chris Coffey.  Coffey will talk about his photographs and his approach to working in projects — some long term and some unexpected and hiding in plain sight.  He will also briefly talk about crafting an Artist Bio and the Artist Statement in general as well as those written for a specific body of work.  His website is https://www.chriscoffey.com/

Let your art be seen!  Get it from under the bed and in the closet!  Join EAA on Friday, October 18, a little before 10a.m. for the next Euclid City Hall Exchange.  Department Heads choose artwork to hang in their offices.  Your work may be selected to hang in the lobby or on the Mayor's Art Wall.  Look for EAA coordinators, Sue Herrle and Rozenia Cunningham in the City Hall rotunda, 585 East 222nd St.

Thank you to artist Kat Sauder for her “Rapid Figure Sketching” demo at our October meeting.  Many of the 26 attendees sketched along with her.  Of the three who volunteered to be her model, young James Komaromy, a third grader, was the best.  He held his pose while Kat quickly sketched him and again in an action pose to show more movement.  Kat also talked about her artist journey and her enthusiasm for marketing her art.  She encouraged everyone to have confidence in themselves…very inspiring.  Visit Kat’s website https://www.katsauder.com/.

Another amazing workshop with Master Watercolor Painter David Rankin was held on October 5 & 6 at the EAA Gallery.  Twelve artists from the Evergreen Artists and Euclid Art Association, including several who follow David on Facebook, learned his step-by-step procedures for tackling challenging subjects.  Included were quick reference guides on brush handling skills, and techniques of blending and creating illusions of reflections.  Thank you, David.
