Message from the publisher!

I'm ready for Spring and working on a few outdoor art pieces. Can't wait to feel the sun on my cheeks. I wouldn't mind the rain so much if the temperature was a bit higher, say like 75. But this wet cold mess has got to go.

On another note, we are looking for Sponsors for the "1st Annual Youth Artists Festival - Growing the Arts" on April 17th. If you would like to sponsor a table or group download an application today.

Keep an eye out for Art Happenings at the center and keep warm and be safe!

Painting with Watercolors
by Janie Prete

Watercolor to me is magical, elusive, alive and always flowing. Never is it boring and never the same. I have welcomed the surprises which come by sheer accident and guidance, rather than control. Not long after I began to paint in watercolor - over 20 years ago - it became apparent that I could complete a painting and sometimes never know where it might be headed.

I allowed  paintings free rein at times as I took a backseat. Other times, I guided the medium as much as I could when I wanted more structure. It has been an ongoing and experimental journey for me to enjoy in my creative life and to introduce it to others, hoping they will continue in watercolor, is equally satisfying. ....more
