Judy Dillon, 2016

High Country Spring, 24x18", Mixed media

AST artists are busy producing new work for Art Studio Trek 2016, now just eleven weeks away. Judy Dillon writes:
"I have been experimenting with lots of techniques this month. Waxed paper, saran, rice papers, India ink, and spray paint!  All these paired with watercolor makes for some exciting art. The painting attached started out with no subject in mind, just lots of paint and various layers of masking with saran wrap, etc. And, oh, yes, some copper spray paint.When everything was dry and the "stuff" came off, the idea of the rushing water became apparent.  And so, "High Country Spring" was created."

 Judy's Dillon's submission for the Art Trek review show at Roseville's Civic Center

Watercolorist Judy Dillon enjoys a variety of  approaches and subjects, often starting with an abstract under-painting. An elementary school teacher for 21 years, Judy offered young visitors to her studio the opportunity to add their own artistic touches to a large paper mural during the 2013 Studio Trek. 

Swinging Into A New Art Trek

Preparations are in full swing for the 2013 Art Studio Trek. This year there will be more fabulous artists included on the tour. Pam Burns is one of the local artists who will be showing her luminous watercolors. Her colors are bright and fresh. Her work would be a delightful addition to any art collection.

Pat Abraham was selected to participate in the Rocky Mountain National Watermedia Exhibit. This is a top level watercolor show with submissions from all over the United States. Pat's work is in great demand as is her teaching. I've heard that her classes fill up immediately. I know from experience that Pat is a patient, warm and concise teacher. She truly understands her medium and knows how to bring out the best of her students.
