6:30 - 8:30 PM

MATTHEWS COMMUNITY CENTER

Everyone is invited to attend and watch a watercolor demonstrations from our Guest Painter

Shirly Landgraf

Shirley Landgraf had taught art for over 30 years at Central Piedmont. She has a studio in her home where she gives private lessons. She also volunteers her time at Southminster Retirement Community teaching watercolor and won first prize when the Guild of Charlotte Artists held a contest there. Traveling with other plein-air artists is another of her many artistic pursuits. Southport, NC is among her favorite places to create water scenes. "I love to make sure there is human interest in my scenes. When I paint a beach chair, I will put a towel on it to show someone has been there." From nature she also draws inspiration for her abstracts. Her watercolor demonstration for the August 10 MAG meeting will be a waterfall scene. John Lomax, a former student of hers, will introduce her to all of us.
