| OHCC LIVING | MARCH 2026 |27 Art Lovers The Art Lovers Club had a very successful Do Dues Day signing up quite a few new members! On Tues., Jan. 20, Art Lovers held our Treasures Meeting, one of our most popular meetings for the year. Many beautiful and interesting Art Works were brought into the meeting from our members' homes. Selma Leighton began the meeting with a huge display of her Dalmatian Dogs which was very humorous, Joy Paquette showed us a beautiful Silver Pendant, Mari Siegel showed us a very interesting photo and video, Patrick Campbell brought two new pieces of Glass Art that he just finished making, Lainy Vinikow brought an amazing mask from Alaska, Jeff Powell brought his beautiful acrylic paintings that he made, Don Kent brought an Ivory Chess Piece, Gold Pieces in a Glass Pyramid when he did the very tedious work of panning for gold and a beautiful horse, Elaine Massei showed a beautifully sculptured piece of Ironwood, Tom Crispo brought three pictures (one of the characters in The Wizard of Oz Movie with all their signatures, a Banksy Painting and a painting by Dick Crispo (Tom's Cousin who is a very famous artist), and Jessica Schwartz who showed a beautifully designed scarf. Louise Peterson always put out a wonderful spread of sandwiches and even desserts. She also brought two boxes of European Chocolates for Door Prizes. A good time was had by all! Respectively Submitted by Susan Pick, President Aren't we lucky to have such talented residents right here in OHCC! Come check out the display of creativity in the Art Studio by the following artists: Betty Anne Kreutziger Mike Thornton Bonnie Krichbaum Mitchell Ehrlich Jan Balog Nancy-Jo Klaphaak Jeff Powell Patricia Battles Kathy Thornton Sue Silva Lorraine Kleeman The works vary from vivid splashes of color with a reflective finish, to the dark, soulful photo of shoes taken at the Holocaust Memorial Museum. Each piece tells its own story and reveals the unique vision of its creator. And, again, we welcome the beautiful acrylic artwork by Annette Frimtzis at the front desk, which we can enjoy through February and March. So, viewing art and creating art can be a rich tapestry of emotions, ranging from moments of escape to joyful memories, to appreciation of talent, to a sense of calm. What do you feel when you see the artwork? Perhaps give a "thank you" to our artistic neighbors for sharing their talent with us here at OHCC. Their willingness to display their work enriches our environment and reminds us of the creative spirit that thrives here. If you have an art piece to share, please contact Lainy Vinikow, Mike Thornton or Judy Harris who have written this article. Written by Lainy Vinikow and Judy Harris Art Studio
