The program will feature artist Cynthia Tipton, who maintains a studio and gallery in the Homberg area of Knoxville.  Tipton’s artwork is characterized by bold colors, expressive brush strokes and reflects the personality of the people and animals she paints.  She is inspired by the energy of her subjects and works in a variety of methods.  For the January meeting, Tipton will bring in various examples of her work which exhibit different approaches and styles. She will demonstrate a technique of creating a portrait using palette knives.

The Challenge Theme for this months meeting is: Feathered, Armored, or Furred

Challenge Art can be done in any media and can be brought to the meeting at any stage of completion, from rough sketch to ready to show or sell. Interpret the challenge however you want, to suit the medium of your choice. The intention of the Challenges is to provoke thought and creativity, push us as artists to new processes & themes, and to encourage us to create.

We enjoyed a wonderful presentation by   Curt.  I look forward to seeing his published book on his barns!  Please remember Curt has a store at the Art Market Gallery downtown Knoxville.  Stop by and visit sometime!
