"Beavercreek Dairy Barn”
"This Beavercreek dairy barn located on Alpha Bellbrook Rd. has been gone for many years. It reminded me of my childhood when a Sunday drive through the countryside revealed many working farms. I'm fortunate to be able to preserve the image."

GUEST SPEAKER FOR FEBRUARY—MEERAH SMALLWOOD

Western Ohio Watercolor Society will host a 5-day plein air watercolor workshop with Andy Evansen from April 16 to 20, 2012 at the First Presbyterian Church in Yellow Springs, OH. Andy Evansen is a nationally known artist who lives in Minnesota and teaches watercolor workshop all around the United States. His articles and paintings appeared numerous times in many prestigious art magazines such as Watercolor Artist magazine, American Artist Watercolor, and International Artist.

Nine of our members are participating in a special exhibit devoted to Fairborn Art Association members at Studio 14 Gallery in Tipp City. Fairborn Art Association members included in this exhibit are David Yarnall, Misuk Goltz, Rusty Harden, Yuki Hall, Edy Martin, Connie Weber, Roe Keinle, Ed Wilson, and Clarice Moore. The paintings included are beautiful examples of their work and well worth the trip to Tipp. Dates are January 5 to February 26, 2012. Studio 14, Benkin Gallery of Fine Art, is located in the Loft of the Benkin Building at 14 E. Main Street, Tipp City, OH 45371.

As you all know, the Fairborn Art Association will not meet as a group until February 7, 2012. I know some of you will experience events in your lives that you would like to share with our fellow members -- an award, a showing or exhibit, etc. Please email me at albright10@msm.com or call me at 233-7532 and I will place an article in our Member News section on this website. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone. ... Jackie Albright
