Happy Spring!
The leaves have burst forth on the trees and the tulips & daffodils are in full bloom… Even the lilacs with their heady scent basked in the sun today! I try to notice these fleeting moments while out for a walk with Polly, my corgi, sitting at a red light, or when I’m out visiting the emerging flowers of my garden. Sometimes the light hits just right and voila, another perfect reference for a potential painting.
Looking ahead … coming up next month is our much anticipated Member Show in Peterborough at the Monadnock Center for History & Culture. Esteemed pastel artist and local favorite, Jeanne Rosier Smith, has accepted our invite to be the Awards Juror. Look for an informative letter from Peggy going into greater detail of this year’s event, and get those entries in through Show Submit as the deadline is June 6!
On the heels of the Member Show opening reception, follows our Member Retreat: June 25-26. All of the details are loaded up on the Enrichment Retreat page (Retreat | Psnh). We have only a few spots left, so check your calendar and make a plan to attend!
The new exhibition at the Currier Museum of art, Nicolas Party and an Artist Take on Surrealism is Open! Plus… The Currier has opened Pastels, the After Party in their Discovery Gallery. Am working with guest services to set up an event for pastel artists before the Exhibition run ends on September 1.
That said, would you like to see more events like the member retreat, museum outings, and/or paint-outs? We are currently looking to fill our member enrichment board chair. Whether it’s scheduling a Zoom demo with one of your pastel icons or arranging to paint flowers coordinating with a local garden club, if planning & logistics are some of your strengths, we’d love to have your contributions add color to our society. We are also still looking for a Workshop board chair. We’ve been fortunate to garner some new members, and if you’re one of them, we invite you to get involved! Our meetings are held via Zoom on the 2nd Monday of the month at 7:00pm. Our meetings are always open to our general membership. In fact our next meeting of the year will be Monday 5/12. If you’d like to join us, email me for the link! (selarkham@msn.com).
Happy to share that we had a new application for Signature Artist Member accepted! We welcome Mena Levit to the Signature Circle! (Page feature coming soon!) We recently eased the requirements, so would love to have more applications! Need even more inspiration? Coming up in November, we will be hosting a Signature Artist Exhibition at the Jaffery Civic Center!
Are you following us on the socials? We’d love to feature more work by our members, so be sure to tag us #pastelnh or send the work you’d like to highlight directly to @pastelsocietynh or to Terri Brooks.
With all the Colors of Spring,
Susanne Larkham
