VWS Newsletter 6-21-07
Greetings, Vermont Watercolor Society watercolorists!
SPRING MEETING
There are wonderful and promising things afoot in our Society. I will try to give you a brief overview of our Spring Meeting with more details to follow in a future newsletter.
We had an excellent presentation by our Vice President, Jan Olmstead, bringing us up to speed on the results of the VWS survey done earlier this year. Highlights of the results include:
1. A strong desire from the membership to have more social contact with each other by various means, the most commonly suggested being regional gatherings of some sort.
2. Members are quite happy with our shows and the opportunities they bring to all of us. It is one of the main reasons for joining.
3. There was some discussion about the question of volunteering for office and/or other functions/opportunities within the Society. This brought up further questions about job definitions, time and distances issues. Clearly people are willing to help out, but need some structure to work with.
We also saw a very interesting slide show of current works from the American Watercolor Society compliments of Rob O’Brien, who is a member. There were paint samples donated by M. Graham to try- these paints (watercolor and gouache) are made with honey and have an interesting texture. Some people brought painted squares and some made them with the sample paints, which we put together into a little mosaic.
We had a lot of new members at the Spring Meeting. It was wonderful to meet you all, as well as enjoy old friends. Several people joined right after the meeting!
Please extend a big welcome to:
Nancy Ball from Tinmouth, Vt.
Peter/Paedra Bramhall from Bridgewater Vt.
Ann Clark from Mendon, Vt.
Isobel Cochran from Hanover, N.H.
Chase Delaney from Sharon, Vt.
Sarah Drown from Georgia Ctr. Vt.
Sandra Ershow from Waterbury, Vt.
Sue Houchens from Jericho, Vt.
Louise Pfaelzer from Morrisville, Vt.
Ann Semprebon from Hanover, N.H.
All were at the meeting. In addition, a new member just signed up:
Catherine Finnegan from Quechee, Vt.
Our membership has grown to about 128 members!
After the presentation we divided up into 6 discussion groups to address various issues generated from the answers to the survey. Each group then gave excellent reports on their findings, and it was especially noteworthy that most people found this process very satisfactory. It gave everyone an opportunity to meet other members and have a meaningful and productive dialogue. And it helped people to feel more like participants in the doings of VWS.
As a result of this process, the Board and some of the more active Committee members met this past Monday evening to come up with a plan of action and a vision which we hope will set up the Society for long-term success. A small group of us will be meeting regularly to work out the details and make some revisions to the structure of the Board in particular, as it is quite clear that the election and volunteer process has been quite unstable at times and this has created some problems such as:
1. Burned-out/overworked leadership
2. A certain apprehension about voulunteering, because….. well, see above!
We hope to change that in very significant ways. Just to give you a hint-we will try to make volunteer jobs be well-defined, time limited and well-suited to your skills and social needs. We hope to have more workshops and social events in the future. The leadership workload will be better distributed and manageable. Communications will improve, both formally (via the newsletters) and informally via networking.
And, of course, our shows are blossoming into 2009!
With that in mind, here’s a reminder about our upcoming open (un-juried) show:
UPCOMING SHOW:

JOHN LYNCH RETURNS!
John approaches watercolor differently: in thick, joyous
blobs of color. Join him on location for his third summer—
• Watercolor in Woodstock
August 1 through 5, 2007
Wednesday evening at 6:00 pm
4 days 9 am - 4 pm, with an hour lunch break
Monday Critique 9 am - 12 noon
$390.00 per person
Enjoy Vermont during our beautiful summer while studying with this effervescent and talented artist from London. We go to many local gardens and farms to enjoy painting on site. John says, “This watercolor workshop on location in beautiful Woodstock, Vermont will have a strong focus on shadow and light and will favour an impressionistic approach towards painting. Those attending will be encouraged to find their own individual style and spirit, and to create their own reality from the world they see around them. Techniques in colour theory should not be forgotten, but should also not get in the way of risk-taking and experimentation with the medium. Mark making, splash effects, colour bleeding and unconventional colour usage including gouache and white paint will be covered in each of the four painting days on location. This is the workshop for painters who want to create vibrant watercolors and works of art that transcend the everyday and release their spirits through painting.” You’ll enjoy John’s relaxed approach as have many others. This is his third summer teaching for Compton ART.
A maximum of 12 people will be at the workshop each day. There is a possibility that we will take people on a daily basis unless the workshop fills. As the workshop gets closer, we'll post the materials list here on the website.
HEINEBERG SENIOR CENTER
It is with great pleasure that the Burlington, Vermont, Heineberg Senior and
Community Center announces the opening of IMAGERY, our exciting new program
for artists and poets. Our first artist-and-poet-of-the-month, beginning
Friday, September 7, 2007 at 7:00 p.m., in the HSCC Gallery at 14 Heineberg
Road, Burlington, will be a very talented husband and wife team.
Victoria Shalvah Herzberg came to Vermont from Houston,Texas. She was
selected to attend Vermont Artist's Week at Vermont Studio Center in 2005.
Victoria joined Two Rivers Print Making Studio that same year. Two of her
paintings were selected for postcard announcements of Vermont Watercolor
Society exhibit openings, and in 2006, she became a signature member of VWS.
Victoria's work has been shown in many local venues as well as state-wide
with VWS.
Don Herzberg was born in Los Angeles and raised in Houston, Texas. He
received his MD in 1968 from Washington University School of Medicine in St.
Louis. While practicing medicine in the early 90's he began studying
poetry, and eventually came here to Burlington College to study with Dana
Levin. In February 2002, Don was a resident at Vermont Studio Center and
that fall entered the New England College Creative Writing Program in
Poetry, receiving his MFA in 2004. He has published poems in the "Northern
New England Review", the "Alembic" and, in collaboration with his wife,
published a collection entitled, "Our Land: Prints and Poems".
We happily invite all of you organization presidents, and your members to
mark your calenders and join us in this celebration of art and poetry. In
the meantime, go to hscenter@verizon.net for a copy of our IMAGERY Proposal, follow
the instructions, and be a part of this breakthrough adventure.
Thanks to all of you for helping get IMAGERY started,
Regina Murray
Brault
NOTE: This is an invitation to submit your work for future pairings with poets as well as to attend this event. Congratulations, Vickie and Don. They responded to Regina’s initial invitation to VWS members.

VWS SPRING MEETING FORM and info 5-16-07

Apologies for this rather late update. An unpleasant encounter with a speeding truck from behind me totaled my car and threw off my schedule for a while. (I’m fine). Enclosed you will find a form to fill out for the Spring meeting. Please send your checks and commitments as soon as possible. A paper version of this form will also be sent out, but the fastest way to get this done is to print out the form from this message. Please remember, this will also be on our web page:
www.vermontwatercolorsociety.com
First, though, a bit of news and some reminders:
Judson Pealer’s Painting “MME. Pealer” was chosen to represent VWS on the postcard for our upcoming show at the Miller Arts Center. Congratulations, Jud!

12:15 PM Seating, Luncheon, Business Meeting

These times are approximate, but DO be on time for the beginning of the meeting at 12:15 and DO plan to stay for the Presentation and Discussion. Plan to arrive at least by 12 to check in, preferably earlier. The ideas that come from our Survey Presentation and Discussion will be vital to the future of our Society- in fact, probably relevant to it’s ultimate survival. We have had very good, positive feedback from you, our members, and we have heard from you where you would like to see VWS go in the future. Your participation will be essential to realize these ambitions. The best way to prepare for this discussion is to think about how you can play a part in implementing those things that you wish to see happen.
Just for Fun!
Bring a 2”x2” piece of watercolor paper painted with your favorite colors on it (no images-just color). We will make some sort of mosaic with the pieces. Who knows what will happen after that!
During the break you will have an opportunity to see what the top artists are doing in the American Watercolor society via a slide show.
There will be some information about workshops and possibly some materials to explore. Stay tuned.
The details: Fill out the tear-off section below and send, along with a check for $22.00 per person, made out to Vermont Watercolor Society, to:
Everett Webber, treasurer, VWS

NOTE: Please come “unscented”- i.e. no perfumes , colognes or scented products and tobacco odors, due to allergies of several members of this Society to these products. DO bring a friend or family member, especially if you know someone who might be interested in joining.

Apologies for this rather late update. An unpleasant encounter with a speeding truck from behind me totaled my car and threw off my schedule for a while. (I’m fine). Enclosed you will find a form to fill out for the Spring meeting. Please send your checks and commitments as soon as possible. A paper version of this form will also be sent out, but the fastest way to get this done is to print out the form from this message. Please remember, this will also be on our web page:
www.vermontwatercolorsociety.com
First, though, a bit of news and some reminders:
Judson Pealer’s Painting “MME. Pealer” was chosen to represent VWS on the postcard for our upcoming show at the Miller Arts Center. Congratulations, Jud!
Miller Gallery show: June 30- August 10. Bring ONE entry June 23- 11AM to 4 PM .
REMINDER: Green Mountain Fine Art Gallery Show ends on May 20. 2007. Pick-up is May 21-26 during gallery hours. (11-6 daily except Tuesdays). We will notify you before pick-up time if your work has been sold.
REMINDER: When you come to the Spring Meeting, if you have any watercolors on display at the Inn, it is time to remove or replace them. Prints are acceptable, as are metal frames.

VWS SPRING MEETING
Sunday, June 2, 2007
Cortina Inn, 103 US Route 4, Killington Vermont 05751
(We are 7 miles East of Rutland, VT on US Route 4 on the left side of the road. We are 3 miles West of the junction of Routes 100 & 4 on the right side of the road.
En Route Call 800-451-6108)
http://www.cortinainn.com
10 AM-4:30 PM
AGENDA:
10 AM: Steering Committee/Officers Meeting
11 AM Set-up
11:30 AM Arrivals, check-in
12:15 PM Seating, Luncheon, Business Meeting
1-Reports
2-Old Business
3-New Business
1:30-2 Informal break/Slide show- Images from American Watercolor Society
2 PM Presentation: VWS Survey Results
3 PM: Discussion
4-4:30 PM closure-take down
These times are approximate, but DO be on time for the beginning of the meeting at 12:15 and DO plan to stay for the Presentation and Discussion. Plan to arrive at least by 12 to check in, preferably earlier. The ideas that come from our Survey Presentation and Discussion will be vital to the future of our Society- in fact, probably relevant to it’s ultimate survival. We have had very good, positive feedback from you, our members, and we have heard from you where you would like to see VWS go in the future. Your participation will be essential to realize these ambitions. The best way to prepare for this discussion is to think about how you can play a part in implementing those things that you wish to see happen.
Just for Fun!
Bring a 2”x2” piece of watercolor paper painted with your favorite colors on it (no images-just color). We will make some sort of mosaic with the pieces. Who knows what will happen after that!
During the break you will have an opportunity to see what the top artists are doing in the American Watercolor society via a slide show.
There will be some information about workshops and possibly some materials to explore. Stay tuned.
The details: Fill out the tear-off section below and send, along with a check for $22.00 per person, made out to Vermont Watercolor Society, to:
Everett Webber, treasurer, VWS
5 Longwood Lane
West Lebanon, N.H. 03784.
These must be IN HAND by May 30. Keep in mind that May 28 is a holiday and there will be no mail service. There will be no refunds for cancellations after May 30 except in the case of a dire emergency.
NOTE: Please come “unscented”- i.e. no perfumes , colognes or scented products and tobacco odors, due to allergies of several members of this Society to these products. DO bring a friend or family member, especially if you know someone who might be interested in joining.

Mixed salad greens with ham, cheese, turkey, swiss and cheddar cheese, hard boiled egg,

Greetings Watercolorists. Looks like a wet in wet day today. Just hold your paper out the window and….
Anyway, it’s time to rev up the engines for our Spring Meeting.. which is wandering into summer. I recall telling several people it was going to be on May 20. Well, we couldn’t get space on that date at the Cortina Inn, so we took the next available date.
The Spring Meeting will be held at the Cortina Inn in Rutland, Vermont on Sunday, June 3, 2007. We will have check-in at 11:30 and a luncheon at 12-12:30. Much of the meeting will be a presentation by Jan Olmstead and the survey team. Last week we went through the results to compile the data and make some sense out of it, so you will be getting a VERY professional overview compliments of Jan, who has made this an extremely generous contribution to VWS. This survey was generated from Jan’s business-Derby Management. (http://www.derbymanagement.com) We are hoping that from this effort we can discuss your interests, meet the needs of the Society, and put us all on firm ground with a 3-year plan.
There will be other discussions and events on the program to be announced. The meeting will end at approximately 4:30. See you there!

Green Mountain Fine Art Gallery Show:
We had a nice turn-out for the opening of this show, and enjoyed a terrific display of very diverse and professional work. If you haven’t been there yet, please go and have a look. Sandy and Scott Noble, the Gallery owners, went all out to accommodate a large show in a relatively small space, and did so beautifully. Thank you, Sandy and Scott! In addition, 3 artists were doing demos- Sean Callahan , Lisa Beach, and Bob Sydorowich. It was a real treat to watch them paint. Some of our newer members got in this show and I was especially pleased to have the opportunity to get acquainted- thank you all for coming.
By the way- there was one omission on the list of accepted entries. Liza Myers’ painting “Champlain Moon” was also in the show.
Now in case you have gotten lazy with your brushes, it’s time to get busy again. We have 4 more shows this year.
Our next venue is at the Miller Art Center in Springfield, Vermont. This is an OPEN show- (not juried). Each Member can bring ONE painting for the show, which will be from June 30 to August 10. The opening is Saturday, June 30 from 3-5 PM.
You can deliver your work on June 23 from 11 AM to 4 PM. We will be providing some of the refreshments. This could be a possible volunteer opportunity, to help serve refreshments and possibly co-ordinate donations. You will get more specific details about this part of the show in the next newsletter. Framing should be high quality wooden frames, properly affixed with hanging wire. Mats should be white or off-white.
Following this show, we will be included in this year’s Festival of the Arts in the Mad River Valley. This is a very big event, drawing thousands of people. I happened to be at the Vermont Welcome Center on rt. 91 the other day, and found a nice brochure for the event with VWS listed as one of the features1
