In January, the members voted to develop an "Artist of the Month" program, with the winning entry voted upon at each monthly meeting and featured in the local area newspapers.
February 2010 "Artist of the Month" Jack Milchanowski
Jack's computer-enhanced digital photographic image of a windmill at sunset was created using one of his photos and the Corel Painter software program. Hours of computer "hand painting" with a stylus, makes it virtually impossible to detect his work from an original watercolor painting done with actual water.
Jack serves as Treasurer of the CTAA and specializes in American wildlife photography. His website is: www.jemfoto.com.
March 2010 "Artist of the Month" Ginger Walker
Ginger's colored pencil drawing "Granny's Appes" shows the unique detail that can be achieved with the medium of colored pencils. Her depiction of granny smith apples on a country quilt look good enough to eat!
Ginger has been a member of CTAA for a number of years, and can be reached via email at gl.walker@sbcglobal.net.
