(Caption for Artwork) "Along the Black River, Upstate NY"The Peninsula Art League will meet Tuesday, January 22,

in Gig Harbor*.

The meeting will feature Mary McInnis

who will demonstrate her pastel technique

and talk about the different pastels and

surfaces on which to work.  (ie. Pastel on Pastelmat)

“Over the years I have come to the conclusion that my art speaks

to the soul of the common man. There are no esoteric or hidden

meanings.  No deep, dark attempts at soul-searching.

I see beauty and I want to record and share it.

[I want my work to be] something that uplifts and brightens,

something that gives pause for the wondrous beauty of the

natural world or the goodness of humans….and to calm

and restore the soul.”

McInnis’ website is:  www.mjmcinnisfineart.com

AND ON FEBRUARY 26,

MYRNA BINION WILL DEMONSTRATE

HER TECHNIQUES USING WATERCOLOR

ON THE NEW “PLASTIC” PAPER, YUPO!
