And Brush and Palette met:
Gary Hauschulz, talented and determined artist, provided B&P its February meeting demonstration. Interspersed with some of his favorite cartoons, Hauschulz emphasized a quirky sense of himself as a maker of art.
Speaking of quirkiness and nonconformity, Hauschulz took home the Colorado Wine Fest 2012 poster prize, one he painted with Colorado wine.
He urged everyone to pursue passion with passion. There’s a time to scribble, a time for perspective, a time to get real, and a time to become yourself. He says there is then a “time to move on.” Gary used the hours of a clock to lead participants through the natural stages of artistic development, including the tough times when most people quit, but artists continue on.
Participants were led through the face of the clock, crayons in hand, symbolizing personal growth at each stage from babyhood (one o'clock on the face of the clock) into adulthood (eleven o'clock), with guided imagery at each hour. Participants were challenged to go beyond their perceived limits in art:slides of Pollack and others' abstract art were displayed. They pushed through their limits. So can YOU!
Linda won the Mini Show and pocketed ten dollars for her score.
