Message to members from
Evelyne Boren:
I feel badly for not having been part of the
group's painting sessions. I keep hoping one of these days! I travel
a lot with my husband, Michael, now 83, and painting for 2 to 3 one-person shows a year as well as my 3 watercolor classes per year
(which I organize and run myself).
Next annual one-person opening
is at Nedra Matteucci Fine Art in Santa Fe. September 28th, 2007. 95%
oils and only 5% watercolors, a big ratio change. I am thoroughly
enjoying painting with palette knives. Please come to the opening
should you be in town. In February, I received an E Mail from
Roberta who manages Nedra’s Canyon Road Gallery, congratulating me
as having become their number one seller. I was delighted, to say the
least. But all that success keeps me on my toes and close to my
easel. My classes both in Mexico, Provence and Tuscany have been
sellouts every year, and if you would ever like to venture into
watercolor, just to loosen up and get some color theory, come and join
me; we have a lot of fun!
Next year's dates are Sayulita, Mexico, March
1 to 7th, 2008 . Provence, June 20th to 30th, and October 27th to November
6th, Tuscany. Both European classes are gourmet painting classes; we
wine and dine for 7 hours per day, paint for 5 and sleep the rest.
Not a bad ratio! But despite the fun we do come home with at
least 14 watercolors.
Please don't give up on me, I miss you all! Happy painting Evelyne
Paintings shown:
| Lilly Pond at Valaurie, France, 30" x 40",
oil |
| Cheryl's View, Sayulitaoil, oil, 52" x 48" |
| Sunday Market, Willoc Peru, oil, 40" x 46" |
| Venizian Magic, oil, 30" x 36" |

Mary Ulm-Mayhew
was in two recent Wisconsin competitions and gives us this report:
The Cedarburg Artist Guild
Competition, in its seventh year, just ended. It is always the week starting
with Father's Day and ending the following Saturday. Cedarburg is just 30
min. north of Milwaukee and has a large concentration of Historic Stone
Houses, as well as a wonderful main street -- always active and evolving.
Anyone is eligible to enter the competition, and the first award is $2000.
Total sales this year were in the neighborhood of $30,000 -- great for a
two day silent auction.
The Downer Avenue Milwaukee Plein Air
competition was held at the end of May. It is sponsored by the League of
Milwaukee Artists and the Downer Avenue Merchants Assn. and is named for a
street in Milwaukee, that is 2 blocks from the Lake front (Lake Michigan).
Downer Avenue has an "Art Theater", great local produce and has the feeling
of Old Milwaukee; it’s about two miles from Downtown. Palatial homes, Villa
Terrace Museum and the Beaches were all included in the areas to paint. The
awards were $1500, $700, $400 and some great gifts from the local merchants.
If anyone wants a vacation to WI again, consider participating next year.

Oil Painter's Solution Book,
