BE A FEATURED ARTIST!

For the last year, our guild has been enjoying a great partnership with the Out-of-the-Box store.  Not only are members able to show their work without a monthly fee (the only commitment is to work one day a month and a commission to the store if your work sells), but members who participate in the First Friday Reception, can be featured in that month’s show, and they get to display several pieces of their work, depending on the number of artists participating.  Their names are also featured in several ways through flyers and other advertising.  If you’d like to participate in one of the monthly featured shows, contact  Donna Pozehl 402-435-0172 for more information.

PLEIN AIRE GROUP

If you are interested in Plein Aire painting send your name and email address to Allen at agbusch@windstream.net to be included in a Lincoln group. You may email him with questions as well. His thoughts on the group are outlined below:

This is an ongoing weekly paint-out in different locations. We usually meet in the mornings as to catch the early light. At least that is what the group from Omaha that I paint with on Mondays does. Now not to say that we couldn’t possibly do an evening, but through the summer, mornings are best as far as comfort. What I’m wanting to do is gather the emails so that I can send out as a group email the time and location for each week. For example, the group in Omaha usually decides each week where we’d like to paint for the next week, and then those that weren’t able to come that time will get an email detailing the next weeks plans. Thanks, Allen.

SEWARD SHOW

LAG Seward 2014 Show: Congratulations for People’s Choice Award
This year’s show was heavily viewed. Three top pieces were very close in votes. So, the ballot counters felt all three needed to receive ribbons. Drum roll…and the winners are:

1.  Jan Pippitt with An Historic Home
2.  Jan Blank with Cute Chick
3.  Judy Martindale with Mother and Child

Jan Pippitt will be receiving a trophy and the opportunity to do a solo show in 2015 in Seward! Way to go, Jan!!

Poem by Brenda Wilcher

The Infinite

I reached into the Infinite;
You’d think there would be nothing there,
But I brought with me everything I needed to get rid of
I came back very free and refreshed.
The Infinite is my vacation;
it is my holiday, my renewal.
The Infinite is a boundless energy mass,
lighter than air,
with only our eyes to see it;
without it needing to see us.
It is there for our convenience;
it does not need for us to convenience it.
Not that it will go away if we don’t;
It never has and never will.
Only an exchange is needed to fulfill this push of life;
only experience infinitely, in a manner so close to infancy,
and it and we shall survive forever.
