Our next Members Zoom Meeting and Demonstration will be on Thursday afternoon, January 16, 2025 at 4 pmwhen we will host Vermont Watercolor Artist Michael Ridge, another fabulous artist discovered for us by our incredible program volunteer, Mike Killelea. Here’s an example of Michael Ridge’s work. WOW!!

We sent out an email on October 31 to NFWS Members with a private link to Brienne Brown’s demonstration. Check your email!!!. Here are a few photos of Brienne demonstrating and the finished painting to wet your palette! 
We had a lovely time at the Reception and Awards Ceremony on Sunday afternoon October 27th, and are thrilled with all the members’ paintings in the exhibition. Beautifully selected and judged by our Fall Workshop Artist, Brienne Brown.
Enjoy this online award winners gallery, and make sure to get to the Kenan Center to view all the paintings in person. The exhibition can be viewed until November 24, 2024.

Because of a scheduling conflict at our usual in person meeting and demonstration venue, the Amherst Community Church, we will not be able to invite you all to see a demonstration by our Fall Workshop Artist, Brienne Brown. We will, however be able to videotape her demonstration, and will post it on our Youtube Channel as soon as it is edited. We are so sorry that this anticipated Thursday night event has been cancelled, but are grateful for technology and social media! We will send out an email with a link to the Youtube video as soon as it is posted.
