Christmas auction. There is still time to drop off things to fill the silent auction baskets. We have already received some very nice items. Bring your items to the Dec 5th painting exchange. I will be there to receive your items. Keep in mind the items do not have to be holiday themed. Thanks for your donations in advance.

Up to 5 years ago, Deb Messier had a career in social work and human services. Other than high school art class and some art history in college, she had no artistic training. Then one day, her daughter took her to a paint-and-sip class. Deb laughs now when she looks at that first painting, but she will always treasure the memory of that night because a door opened, she walked through and hasn't looked back. When asked why she paints, Deb said that painting is an experience that draws her in. She loses track of time and becomes one with the artwork. As a retiree, she loves being able to choose what she does with her time, and she finds painting very rewarding. She paints for herself, she isn't trying to make money or win in a show; the final work, if she is happy with it, is satisfying enough. Since then, she has become engrossed in learning all she can to improve her painting. Deb paints mostly with acrylics but also loves watercolor and prefers to paint landscapes and all forms of nature in an impressionistic style. During the past five years, she has taken numerous workshops and classes in both acrylic and watercolor; and uses YouTUBE videos to learn specific skills and techniques.
When asked who her favorite artist is, she responded "I love the work of French impressionists, especially Monet. I admire the work of accomplished contemporary watercolor artists, especially those with a loose expressive style. On YouTUBE, I follow Angela Fehr [Canada) and Anne-Laure Jacquart (France), and for Plein-Air, I follow Jessica Henry Gray."
I also asked Deb what was the best advice she was given and she said something we have heard repeatedly from our guest artist: "I've heard this many times: Try to paint something every day.". Her advice to newbie artists is that painting is a skill that you learn through study and practice. Although some people are naturals, don't let that discourage you. You can invest your time and attention that will pay off in the end. Deb says that painting in a group is one of her favorite experiences. Attending Anything Goes on Wednesday’s and Still Life on Thursday’s every week is a treat. It gives her a chance to share the experience and get help and feedback from peers.
Deb Messier has shown her work not only at The Art Guild and the Treasure Island Community Center, but the Gulfport Senior Center, a restaurant in Gulfport, the City of Pinellas Park's Barbara S. Ponce Library, and in an open-air show at Vinoy Park. Deb has won four ribbons last year in the Treasure Island Art Guild Shows and sold a few paintings in Gulfport during the shows.
