Our latest electronic newsletter is rather short. A quick reminder that our next
meeting will be at the regular time and place on September 14.
August Meeting
Our August meeting was rather different in that we held it on the 3rd weekend instead of
the 2nd Friday of the month and we met at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. We
started our self-tour at 10:00 am on August 18th. Our art connoisseurs were Jim, Chris,
Scott, Don B., Mark, Merrill and we were pleasantly surprised that John Larson and a
relative of his showed up. Members spent about an hour and a half perusing the
classic work from Europe and Asia acquiring inspiration and knowledge about painting and
figure work to apply to their miniatures. Afterwards a hearty meal at Rudolph’s
to discuss the day’s events.
Pictures
An example of some of the work viewed at the institute. Members studied skin colors
as well as fabric tones and texture. Some inspirational dioramas were discussed viewing
some of the landscape paintings.
September agenda
A short list of topics for our September meeting
- Discussion of the upcoming TCAH show and who do we send our check for sponsoring the
figure award
- Chicago Show planning: who is going and what itinerary
- Pre-MMSI show at Jim’s placeUpdate on club shirts
- Demo for September: Yogi! Veteran of the Eastern front in WW II. If you haven’t
heard Yogi speak in the past don’t miss this one. He is full of knowledge and a
great storyteller.
