Art League
Just in case: Check with your club contact to confirm meeting place, date, and time.
Recently members of the Art League were able to take part in a series
of Zoom painting classes with Joe Oakes, a Sun Lakes resident and
professional artist. They were held on four Monday mornings in August,
and were enjoyed by all of us who were able to take part.
Mr. Oakes specializes in acrylic painting, and is a very good instructor. We learned a
lot from him as he demonstrated his own special style — first he verbally taught us his
technique then critiqued our efforts. We hope to have more Zoom classes in the future.
Three of the photos that accompany this article are of paintings done by his students
during the Zoom classes. Also included is another beautiful acrylic painting that Joe
recently finished.
Since the pandemic is continuing, there will be no Art League meetings, classes, or
events, until further notice. If there are any changes or announcements, all members will
be notified by email or by phone. If anyone has questions about the Art League, you can
contact the President, Jerry
Searcy or the Membership
Chairman, Helen Searcy at
(951) 845-8198 or email
jhsearcy123@aol.com. We
hope it won't be much
longer before we can safely
be together. Keep well and
have fun working on your
art projects.
