FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | JANUARY 2020 47 Mixed Media Arts Class This is the perspective of the artist of the month, Christine Vergara: "This is a watercolor pencil drawing of a house I saw on the Internet. It is actually somewhere in the American South. It captured my imagination because it reminded me of the many houses I saw during my childhood in various parts of New England. It's old, overgrown, a bit down in the heels, yet gorgeous. Watercolor pencil is a medium I've been using for awhile. It's extremely versatile since it can be used dry, like regular pencil, or water can be added to make it behave more like watercolor paint. The end result is very soft, like a cross between a drawing and a painting. "I've been in Rob's class for years now. It is a priority of my life here at Four Seasons. He is a great instructor who is able to help students at every level and in every medium. "Our classes are relaxed, fun, and supportive of everyone's progress. Everyone starts with three basic drawings and then moves on to whatever color medium inspires them. "Please come and join us. Whether you're a beginner who would like to explore a creative urge, or an accomplished artist, there is a place for you here." Classes are Mondays, 10 am to 12 noon, and/or Wednesdays, 6 to 8 pm. Classes are free to our residents.

We also enjoyed performing for the residents of The Lakes and The Lakes Memory Care Facilities. They are very appreciative and seem to really enjoy singing along with us. Our hearts were full to bursting! Some of the singers performed at the Hannukah Show and we had fun doing so. We also had a much deserved night out with our spouses at the home of Claudia Rozzi who hosted our annual potluck dinner. What a great display of good food and we all had our fill while enjoying each other's company. We will be taking the month of January off but will be back performing at the PAC Show in April. Stay tuned. If you would like to join us, would like to be included in my email list, or if you have questions about the Four Seasons Singers, call (951) 797-3466 or email me at bawasco@dc.rr.com. We always welcome new recruits who want to sing. ~ Barbara Wasco Four Seasons Singers
