24 | SUN LAKES LIFESTYLES | NOVEMBER 2019 | The annual Art League Art Show was held in the Main Clubhouse Ballroom on Oct. 5. So many people came out on a beautiful fall afternoon to see and enjoy the wonderful artwork of the many talented artists who reside here in Sun Lakes. There were 126 pieces of art on display, and many 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place ribbons awarded. The "Best of Show" award went to Robin Warner for her portrait in oil, titled "Christina #2." The People's Choice award went to Judith Steenson for her extremely detailed and beautiful large quilt. There will be a complete list of the winners and more pictures in the next issue of Lifestyles. Sun Lakes' resident and professional artist, Joe Oakes, conducted a "paint along" during the Art Show, and several adults and children had fun taking part in painting a large acrylic landscape. He is donating the finished painting to the Art League for a future fund raising project. The Chairman of the Art Show, Sharon Salcido, would like to sincerely thank all who attended, and all of the Art League members who helped with the show preparations, and especially those who entered their artwork into the show. Well known local artist, Luz Perez, was the guest at the September general meeting. She did a beautiful demonstration in watercolor painting. Also, the monthly Mini Art Show was held and those in attendance voted for their favorite painting. The winners were: "Best of Show," Bea DiMatteo; 1st place, Sue Langford; 2nd place, Rosa Gascoigne; 3rd place, Shirley Anderson. The guest artist at the October general meeting was David Fairrington, and he did a demonstration in oil painting.
