Our November Members Meeting will be on Zoom on November 20, 2025, from 7 – 9 pm. We will send an email to all members early in the week of the Zoom call. 

After a brief Members Meeting bringing us up to date on our late fall/early winter upcoming events for 2025-26, we will be treated to a demonstration by our Internationally renowned watercolor artist Tanis Bula.

Artist’s Statement:

Somewhere, some place, someone is having a terrific time! For me, that often

means being struck by the incredible beauty of nature. Nature offers an

abundance of complex shapes, textures, patterns and colors. The constant

shining of light makes each moment unique. I capture this moment in my

painting. Flowers especially exhibit this feeling in nature, incredible beauty

constantly in transition. Their fragility and delicacy lends itself uniquely to the

light and transparency possible with watercolor. I love bright colors and strong

contrasts, and this too is reflected in my art. My joy is to bring a wonderful

moment to life in a way that can be shared and returned to me again and again.
