Member CRITIQUE
Dave Flitner is leading our critique for July 3. All members & guests are invited to participate with work and suggestions for the work. Please join us! Critique begins promptly at 5:45 pm and runs to 6:45 pm prior to the General meeting.
Paintings and drawings do not need to be framed. Unfinished pieces are welcome for suggestions to finish them. Those members arriving with work after 6:15 risk not having their work critiqued depending on volume of work brought in earlier. Please, only 1 painting per person. We would prefer that participants in the critique please not bring paintings that are freshly wet, oils particularly, as the paint gets on our hands and clothes from handling the pieces and then paint is transferred to other works and the carpet in the critique area. If you have a frame to put the painting in for handling purposes that will be appreciated. Thanks from the critique leaders.
~ Jim Garrison, Critique Master
Guest Speaker ~ July 3rd
Bill Lundquist started his art career at the age of ten copying
Red Ryder comic books. He received his formal art education at
Arizona State University and the Kachina Art School. He studied
several years with noted Arizona artists, Don Ruffin and Jay Datus
and continued his development at the Scottsdale Artists' School
since the early 1980's. Bill has been an instructor in oil painting,
watercolor and drawing at the Scottsdale Artists' School and at
various other schools and venues since 1995. The private classes
he conducts at his personal studio are widely known and actively
attended each week. His email contacts with current and former
students number well over 1000. Bill's paintings and drawings are
in corporate and private collections throughout the world.
American Artist Magazine published a feature article on Bill in
2009.

Greetings SAL, Our elections were held at our last
meeting, and we have a few new faces on
our board of directors. Joanne Castor will
be our Recording Secretary, Joan Langdon our
Corresponding Secretary, and Mary Kuhr is our 2nd VP
of Shows. I look forward to working with them this
upcoming year. Rita Goldner has accepted the AAA
representative for SAL and will be taking on those duties
after Judy Roll’s dedicated years of service. Additionally,
Irene Donato and Wil Coe will be handling Artwork of the
Month taking over for Linda Phillips. Please remember
to thank them for their service to SAL, because it is what
makes our Art League special, member involvement!
It’s summer again and the weather is turning into the
heat Arizona is famous for. When you go out of town to
escape, don’t forget to take a journal and some simple
supplies like Lew Lehrman talked about at our last
meeting to capture the moment, and remember it
forever.
Our presenter for July will be portrait artist Bill Lundquist,
for all you members who have been requesting demos.
He will be painting someone’s portrait at the July
meeting, maybe even yours!
See you next month, and keep creating!
~Ericka Cero Wood, President

........New directory will be distributed at the August General Meeting........
For those who wish to receive your monthly ART BEAT issue via US Mail, there will be a $5.00 charge for the year due to postage costs
Also, an annual fee of $10 to link your website to the SAL website for members only. Just an FYI, membership dues are NOT considered tax deductible as a charitable donation since there is an exchange of goods and/or services

payer, not the organization, to determine what can be used on tax returns and how.

Artists’ Reception: Saturday August 4th, 4 – 6pm
At the monthly board meeting for A.A.A., the group discussed at length the plans for a month long series of
events honoring Arizona veterans in November 2012. John Fontana said that half of the A.A.A. gallery will be
used for veterans’ art. Preference is being given to A.A.A. members, but if there is room, other Arizona veterans
will be included. A new Recon Committee has been established to work on this special exhibition and they are
looking for more volunteers. Anyone interested in assisting the new Recon Committee can contact Gary Bradley at
If you are a veteran and a S.A.L. member interested in showing art in this special exhibition, please email
Rita Goldner, the new A.A.A. rep for S.A.L. at [email protected] so we can get a feel for the numbers, and
then decide how many pieces per veteran. There won’t be a jury process, but the art must be appropriate for the
gallery, and doesn’t have to be military related.
During this special exhibit the juried artist show in the rest of the gallery will be themed: “America – What a
Great Country!” Of course, the vets can do artwork in that theme, if they desire.
Home Depot gave A.A.A. a $5000.00 grant to which will be used to remodel the back classroom area of the
gallery and to facilitate outreach programs for veterans and other groups.
Anyone who isn’t an A.A.A. member and would like to apply can find the jury form by accessing
www.azartalliance.com/juried.html and then clicking on “Download the information and application form here”.
The application fee has been raised to $15. The organization is also looking for a new president, please contact
Rita if you would like to apply.
The financial report and the gallery and gift shop sales figures are reported each month in the A.A.A.
newsletter. On the “Outreach Panel” of miniature paintings donated to raise money for outreach programs, 22
paintings have sold, bringing in $845. More paintings are needed for this very successful project.
