Detail of “Milkweed Pod” by Anita Barbour
On April 5, Anita Barbour will demonstrate white-line block printing in a step-by-step procedure from blank block to finished print at the Frank Greco Senior Center, 207 Market Street, Saugerties at 7 pm. This type of block printing is a quick and easy American version of Japanese wood block printing. It was invented in Provincetown in 1915. It begins with a simple drawing. All of the colors are printed on a single block; the only carving is a thin line around each area and prints can be produced fairly quickly. Guests are invited to attend.

During those 40 years of friendship, we have encouraged each other to develop our talents and pursue careers in these fields of art. We met at the Ulster Library Fair in the summer of 1975 and became fast friends. She was exhibiting her photographs and I was exhibiting my paintings side by side on a fence on the library property along with many other artists. We both won awards in our separate categories: The judges included: Charles Bryson, Richard Jeffrey, Shelagh Young, Richard Wolter and William Gallagher.
The artwork (some 60 works in all) in the upcoming show at the college will feature what inspired us over the years.

Kingston artist, Patti Gibbons will demonstrate oil painting without harmful chemicals at the Senior Center, corner of Robinson and Market Streets, Saugerties, NY at 7 pm on March 1, 2016 Tuesday. She says, “The studio is a dream world. Once the door is closed and the outside world is shut out, it is an escape to a place of wonder, exploration and adventure.”
Patti will bring examples of her oil paintings, mixed media and abstract art and discuss techniques and materials. She will discuss the role of her love of old paper and bring examples of how she incorporates them into her work and the role that collage has in providing a method of healing and growth. In conclusion, Patti will explain how her four year study of abstract work has opened up an entirely new vocabulary and method of tapping into her subconscious and its role in developing what is her most original work to date.
