President’s Messageby Bob Winfree
2012 Shows The Shows are On! The AKWS will hold our Juried, All Members, and Signature art shows in 2012 thanks to eleven AKWS members who have volunteered to make it happen, including (in alphabetical order): John Beebee, Libby Hatton, Mary Hyry, Karen Matson, Mark McDermott, Marcia Nathanson, Beth Taylor, Donna Tracy, Bob Winfree, Sandy Winfree, and Sue Zajac. Show chairs (Juried, Bob Winfree), All Members (Sue
Zajac and John Beebee), and Signature (Beth Taylor and Karen Mattson) will be working over the coming months to confirm suitable venues and coordinate many other tasks needed for a quality show. There’s a lot to do, but many hands make for smaller tasks. Want to help? Please do? There’s still things where more hands could help (such as hanging the paintings and returning art to the artists), so feel free to talk to chairs to see what they need. Also, warm up your paintbrushes and start painting. Our public wants to see lots of fresh art for each show, and we all know what that takes! More details about times, place, etc. in future issues of Brush Strokes.
Poles Are Cold Our Poles are Cold show ends in March. Please carefully remove your art from your pole over the weekend of March 17-18 or shortly after. Bob Winfree would be interested to hear from AKWS members as to whether they’d like to do this
again next year, perhaps with an indoor First Friday gallery show for the month before installation, and in conjunction with other Alaska artists’ groups. It would not substitute for our other shows, but could be another opportunity for some creative fun.
Nominations The Board is still seeking nominations for officers. Although most of the positions on the AKWS Board are filled by volunteer program chairs and coordinators, the AKWS cannot function as a nonprofit society without elected officers. Serving as an AKWS officer is your best opportunity to influence the future direction of the AKWS, add to your artist’s resume, and get to know a lot of good people. We will be holding elections for President, Vice President, Treasurer, Recording Secretary, and Corresponding Secretary during our May members’ meeting.

AKWS March Meeting
Bob Winfree “Artists and Art Programs in the U.S. National Parks – Then and Now”. Bob ’s career as a scientist and advisor to the US national parks has enabled him to travel to many extraordinary places, from the deep canyons and high deserts of western North America, to Alaska and the Siberian Arctic, and more. These magical places, their natural wonders, ancient and traditional cultures, and other mysteries are the inspiration for his photography and the international-award-winning series of publications called Alaska Park Science. In 2009, Bob branched into painting as another way to share his experiences, interests, and insights. Bob generally seeks to portray accurately detailed landscapes, seascapes, wildlife and people in his paintings, leaning towards Natural Realism, though sometimes with an Impressionistic flair. Bob frequently experiments with new materials, techniques, and styles, but find himself returning to acrylics because of their exceptional versatility, fine colors, and permanence. Since 2010, Bob has been working on a series of paintings entitled
"Wild Alaska" to document the natural and cultural heritage of Alaska's national parks, a huge expanse which collectively encompasses 55 million acres; two-thirds of the entire US national park system. Please bring a recent water-media artwork for the display table during the meeting. Three Artist's Choice winners will each get to select a prize from our Artist's Grab Bag."

"Photoshop Basics for Artists"Thursday, April 5, 2012, 6:00 - 9:00 PMBP Energy Center, 900 E. Benson Blvd., AnchorageFree of Charge for AKWS & SAQA members: Size Limited to First 10 ReservationsBy Mark McDermott & Cat Larrea
This workshop is for artists in any media and at any level, from novice to professional, who would like to learn or enhance their ability to manipulate and compose digital images using Photoshop Elements as an exciting part of their workflow. Practiced use of Photoshop Elements can accelerate visualization and can become a key step in the process of transforming your images to art in any media, regardless of whether your style is realistic, abstract, or somewhere in between.
Cat & Mark will share some of their basic creative workflows including outdoor photography, image adjustments and modification in Photoshop Elements, and finally translation of images to various artistic methods such as drawing, painting, and working with fabric. Giving participants a variety of tips and tricks of using Photoshop to simplify, improve, and design a piece of art is a central goal of this workshop. A laptop with Photoshop Elements is beneficial, but not required.
