The Mendocino Music Festival has become
a part of Mendocino's cultural, social, and intellectual heritage.
Summer after summer an enormous tent magically appears on the
Mendocino Headland, equipped with heat, lighting, sound system,
concert ushers, volunteers, musicians, and stage crews. Wonderful
music pours forth from this tent, orchestral and chamber, opera,
jazz, and Big Band.
Over the past 20 years Patricia Osborne

in her sketchbook. She has been teaching watercolor and mixed
media workshops for the past 18 years through the Mendocino

mixed media work in both impressionistic and abstract form.
Her work can be seen in many art books, including The Artistic
Touch 4, featuring 120 of the best artists in the US. Her award-winning
paintings of flowers, landscapes, people, and still life subjects
emphasize skilled composition and design. She is an instructor,
guest lecturer, demonstrator, Juror, writer and workshop presenter
for many art groups and organizations."Known for her exciting
techniques and love of color, Patricia takes you on an inspirational
painting journey,she pushes the boundaries and will alter the
way you think about watercolors and painting forever. She was
educated at Collage of Arts & Crafts, Oakland Ca., and San Jose
State University, as well with many prominent artists.

Profile
of the Month
|
|
|
The Beauty of Nature is unparalleled.
To be able to capture it completely is not possible. My wish
is to capture this beauty in color and spirit as closely as
I can, and share it with others. When I find examples of such
beauty in life and nature, my passion is to recreate it. The
range of my search is broad, from mountain landscapes to butterflies,
from ancient desert ruins to scenic lakes.
I work in both oils and colored
pencil, in many vibrant hues. Custom works can be done based
on provided pictures. Family Portraits of loved ones or pets
can also be done, as well as favorite vacation pictures .

FALC
Guidelines - Criteria for Jurying-in new members
|
FALC has been fortunate this year to welcome many
new members and we can look forward to many others being interested
in joining our club. One of the questions that we get asked
the most from current members and those who are interested in
joining is about our criteria for acceptance. Our process is
clear and simple. Anyone who wants to join needs to bring three
pieces of art to one of our meetings. The members present at
that meeting will vote, and, if a 2/3 majority of people approve,
that person will be accepted, pay their dues, and become an
exhibiting member.
As a juried club, FALC strives to maintain a certain
standard of proficiency since organizations that invite us to
exhibit assume a certain selectivity. One rule of thumb commonly
used when voting in new members is to ask yourself this question
- Would I like to exhibit with this work? Would this new work
add to the reputation of the club? Just as we support each other
by bringing our best work to shows and by providing new, fresh
work for the painting changes at Quinlan, we can use our Artists'
eyes to make decisions about what work will be hanging beside
us at the next show.
Voting "no" during the jurying-in process does
not bar an artist from joining the club. The artist can still
be a member, just not an "exhibiting member". Non-exhibiting
members can attend demos and meetings that provide an environment
for their art to grow. As they continue to develop their skills,
they are welcome to jury in at a later date.

FALC
Guidelines - Copyrighted material
|
|
The laws regarding copyrighted
material are complex and not uniform from state to state. In order
to avoid liability and the burden of determining whether a particular
image involves copyright infringement, FALC has created the following
guidelines for member artists. FALC assumes that it is the respoinsibility
of the artist to honestly follow these guidelines and assumes
no liability for work that is submitted or displayed not following
these guidelines. It reserves the right to disqualify a painting
if there is reasonable doubt about copyright infringement or plagiarism.
- Work entered for a show must be the
artist's original work in concept and execution.
- It cannot be copied from copyrighted
material or photographs belonging to another person or organizaion
except with the copyright holder's explicit written permission.
- It cannot be the reproduction of a
painting done by another person even if the original artist
is acknowledged on the painting.
- It cannot be the reproduction of a
historic painting.
