February Demo Artist – Lynda Jung, Experimental Watercolor

Lynda Jung:   Sam Houston State University Bachelor of Fine Arts and Advanced Education, retired art teacher, mentor of numerous student winners in juried art competitions, owner of First Choice Art and Designers, member of Watercolor Art Society Houston, Lake Houston Area Art Association, Texas Watercolor Society, top exhibit juried awards winner in  WASH, 2016 International Show Art winner, Lone Star Art Guild 2016 Convention Best Floral winner, Conroe 2016 Fall Best of Show Watercolor winner, and regional and state competitions in watercolor, oil, acrylics and mixed media. She is also a gallery exhibitor, married, mother, great grandmother, has completed Glassell School of Art advanced studies, and studied with numerous workshop mentors that has enriched her knowledge and developed her skills to create a portfolio consisting of varied art renditions. Lynda’s imagination, skill, and passion led her to explore the process in using color, value mastery, texture, and experimental collage to create abstracts, impressionistic punk, floral, and scenic paintings. These include watercolor (her preference), oil, acrylics and unusual mixed medium on yupo and various paper surfaces for exhibition, and considerations for private acquisition and enjoyment. Lynda’s paintings may be found in numerous private collections, and Monster Head Advertising Agency in Dallas.

“For me it is all about the art process and the unexpected challenges. As I develop my abstract paintings, I begin with color, making variations in shapes, arrangements, imagery, brushstrokes, and figures which are supplemented by brilliant use of colors to create an effect that an observer will find pleasing and challenging to interpret. You may also note a special blessing on some paintings and my name which appears to be hidden.”

Remember

This coming Monday, January 23, 2017, at 10:30 a.m.,is the day to change the artwork hanging at the Kingwood Public Library.

Anyone who has art currently hanging should come prepared to take your work home.

Any members who have work that you would like to hang on the library wall should bring it in!

Your work should be ready to hang, and you should be prepared to create a label for it with such information as the title of the work, framed dimensions, your name and contact information, and price (although the price will not be shown on the tag).

If you have helped us as a volunteer this season you are eligible to bring samples of your work to be displayed at the library for viewing by (and sale to) the public.  Helping to take down the previous art pieces and to hang the new ones counts as volunteering!  The entire process should not take more than an hour or so.
