A Legacy of Making Art Together Wednesday Watercolor Group Exhibit at C-GCC in February

The month of February will mark the one year anniversary of the death of Bill Carbone. Bill was a long standing GCCA Artist Member, Volunteer and Watercolor Instructor. For many years Bill and a group of watercolorists met and painted together on Wednesday mornings at the Washington Irving Senior Center in Catskill. All levels were welcomed and for some, it was the fi rst time they painted. For others, after a career in the arts, it was an opportunity to share their work and creative process. The same group continues on. Each week one of the artists takes a turn to lead the class for a few minutes to show a technique, talk about a recent painting or seek critique on a work in progress. Bill’s legacy continues as the watercolor painters band together and make art. For the past nine years, the watercolorists displayed their work in a group exhibit at Columbia- Greene Community College in February. This year marks their tenth annual group exhibit. Works created by Charity Brauchler, Dorothy Drescher, Marge Henderson, Patricia Jason, Penny K. Jordan, Corrine Jorgensen, Ellen Levinson, Barbara McGeachen, Emily Pell, Phillip Provataris, Catherine Rooney, Louise Ryder, Barbara Saxe, Karen Smith, Audrey Steenburn, Rosalind Tobias, Lorrie Van Hoesen and Joy Wolf will be included in the exhibit. Many of these artists support GCCA as an Artist Member. The Washington Irving Senior Center Wednesday Watercolor Group Exhibit is on display Concert at the Lake by Barbara McGeachen, the entire month of February at the C-GCC gallery. Please visit www.greenearts.org/addition- watercolor. al-arts-culture-calendar for the opening reception date and time.
