“Sundown” will be featured in an article in the September issue of Southwest Art magazine. Rani was also
one of the artists who braved the heat and painted plein aire during the garden tour in June. - THE JOSEPH HOUSE GALLERY will feature paintings by Federico Torres during the month of August.
The exhibit is called “Parallel Worlds”, and the opening reception will be Saturday August 7th from 5 - 7
pm. See Federico’s work in this site by clicking the link. Gallery hours are Tuesday - Friday from 11 am

mountains between Gatlinburg, Tennessee and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and they hit as many art
galleries as possible, including Paul Murray, Nancy Bush and Terri Waters. Tom also spent some time on
site with Dick Ensing in the woods around Cade’s Cove (TN), and included a visit to Billy Graham’s
cathedral in Asheville (NC) and the Glade Creek Mill in West Virginia (something many of us have painted
over the years). Among the celebrity’s homes on their visit were Andy Griffith, Arnold Palmer, Loretta
Lynn and Crystal Gayle. A city tour of Pittsburgh and a visit to the University there added to the interest
of the trip, and being in the mountains and higher elevations helped them escape the heat of the lowlands. - CHARLES WILLIS received the Fred and Frances Ward (Award) at the Columbus Artists' Guild's 2010
Members Exhibition. He was also accepted onto the 21st Annual Summer Showcase in the Thomasville

IF YOU THOUGHT LAST MONTH WAS HOT…..! If you're still planning on some plein aire
painting this summer, remember the sunscreen, stay hydrated, and wear a hat! You can get heat stroke
just from sitting and painting. You may need bug spray too. It’s really HOT, so the better part of valor is
to stay inside and wait for a cooler moment. If you MUST go out to a particular place, get your water
bottle and take a series of photos from which to work until it’s safe to paint in the weather.
THE SCAMMERS ARE STILL OUT THERE LURKING! There are not only the obvious e-mail scams, but
a couple local establishments have been guilty of misuse of credit information. Hopefully this has been
corrected, but we all need to learn to be careful when using the plastic. One report of someone using a
cell phone to photograph a credit card face surfaced a little while ago. Check your credit card statement
carefully each month and report any charges that may be incorrect. If you get a charge from a credit
report agency that you didn’t use, call them! Someone is using your card to check your credit rating,
readying the account for whatever type of abuse they wish.
