Aida Wojcik, Pat D’Aversa, Sue Miller, Chris Taylor, Libby Hintz, Regina Cline, Julianna Kirk and Alina Rossi I selected a batik of Van Gogh as my entry for this show, because it illustrates the theme of the show: how I learned to do Batik from a book, and I learned about Van Gogh also from a book…… Thanks to Sayville.com for this photo and article. Everything!

July 22, 2009 We were pleased and privileged to have as our guest, Mr. Lian Quan Zhen, world famous water color artist who practices both traditional Chinese painting styles and modern watercolor techniques. A record crowd assembled at the Community Center to watch this Master at work. Teacher, author, painter, Mr. Zhen entertained the crowd as he effortlessly created one after another of exciting watercolor paintings. Many of his students were in the audience, fresh from attending his week-long workshop, arranged by Mary Jane Stevens of SBAA. Mary Jane, who is an artist and teacher in her own right, has been busy now that school is out and we are so happy she was able to arrange this demo for us. Most of us left the demo wishing we had taken the full workshop, or vowing to sign up for the next one. For some more on this exciting artist, visit the blog at New Exhibit: Upcoming: Juried Photography Show in November watch for details 300 West Main Street, Riverhead, New York. (631) 727-2881. Many of us have been privileged to exhibit at the museum- let’s show our support in return! (And learn a little something too!) Congratulations LuAnn on your first year in the new shop and studio!
