Joan Sinatra Hathaway  

Joan Sinatra Hathaway will have an exhibition of photographs at Creative Connections, 56 Main Street, Ashburnham, MA, on view from June 1- 29. Opening reception June 1 from 12-2.  Below is the exhibition name and description.

mood..............moment.............memory

I've been inspired by the poems of Mary Oliver expressing the idea that paying attention is the way to have a meaningful life. Photographs are one way to help people pay attention. I have always been moved by the smallest things in the world, not the grandest; a detail on a piece of clothing, nuances of color, a swirl on a piece of jewelry, a curve on a piece of pottery, a wink, a smile, a nod, a small gesture of kindness. I want my photographs to show those small details and to encourage the viewer to pay attention to those details of life. I hope they create a mood, capture a moment and evoke a memory.

Lisa Ober-November 2 & 3, 2019

Artist Lisa Ober, PSA, will teach a color-filled workshop on how to create beautifully detailed still life paintings in pastel. Lisa will take a step-by-step approach through her unique still life technique, from the first sketch to the finished piece using a photo reference (provided). Short demonstrations followed by plenty of class work time will ignite a passion for still life painting as students see their colorful paintings take shape. Participants will learn the skills needed to create believable and realistic still life paintings that are loaded with impressive details. Lisa will discuss developing keen observation skills, color selection, pastel application, and she will disclose her secrets for handling difficult surfaces such as glass or metal-giving special attention to this area.

Students will get plenty of personal attention, and Lisa's enthusiasm for still life painting is as contagious for the beginner as it is for the experienced painter. Regardless of favorite subject matter, students will leave with some hot tips for making their future paintings stand out in a crowd. If those in the class aren't already in love with still life painting, they will be by the end of this one!

For registration forms write pastels@tpdi.biz to be notified when ready.
