On Sunday
June 29 from 1-5 pm, the Tenney-Lapham Neighborhood will hold its second annual
art walk. Nineteen neighborhood artists will exhibit original artwork in their
homes. Use the map
to guide yourself to each of the artist’s home studios. Look for a fuscia colored poster on
each artist’s door.
Tell
everyone you know about this art walk so we can have a good-sized crowd walking
through the neighborhood seeking our local art. For more information or more maps, call Sharon at 256-6282.
TLNA’s
annual summer ice cream social will be held in conjunction with the art
walk. From 4-5 pm in the parking
lot of Christ Presbyterian Church, TLNA council members will be serving up free
ice cream cones.
Meet your
neighborhood artists in their homes and meet your neighbors for some ice cream.
It’s gonna be a great day!

WATERCOLOR
PAINTING
Sharon's
watercolor style is described as Hard-edge Watercolor Painting. The close-up
world of leaves has captured Sharon’s attention. Each wash of color is
left to dry before another is placed next to it. Saturated colors and dark
shadows are created by multiple layers of color washes.

SERIGRAPH
PRINTING
In his
serigraphy, Bill finds it a challenge to reduce the basic design elements of a
scene into an exciting print. His “prints” tend to be bold and
graphic. For now, his favorite subject matter is wild flowers. A serigraph is
defined as an original color print made by pressing pigment (with a squeegee)
through a “silk” screen stencil; in this case a non photographic
hand painted stencil.

she retired. That time has come and is now having a wonderful experience. You
will see prints (etchings, monoprints and linoprints) and drawings.

PHOTOGRAPHY
Justin’s
vivid color photographs present people and places in a simple graphic style.
After graduating from the university art school he has done travel photography
in Belize and India. As well as
environmental portraitures, he will be showing some abstract photo creations
and nudes. He tends to see the
photograph in a more painterly, reflective way than as a document of a time and
place.

CLAY
SCULPTURE
Carlos and
Tony Rodriguez came to Madison from their native Esquipulas, Guatemala in 1999.
They are students at East High School, where they have created the artwork you
will see on the art walk. Through
their art, they both bring us a glimpse of the culture, brilliant colors and
playful spirit of the Guatemalan people. They work in several media--wood,
clay, charcoal, jewelry-but in their clay
sculptures they are at their most expressive. Serious subjects sit
side-by-side with their more whimsical works.

HAND-COLORED
PHOTOGRAPHY
Alison has
been living on the Yahara River since 1985. She has been photographing images for over 30 years and has
been showing her hand-colored photographs for fifteen years. All her work begins in black and
white. She shoots and processes
black and white film. Then she
makes a black and white print.
Finally she adds layers of color to the print using Berol Prismacolor
pencils. This transforms her
photographs to very painterly often-surreal images. She learned to process film and print photographs in high
school. Then she studied
photojournalism and art at the university. There she learned hand-coloring techniques.

PEN
AND INK DRAWINGS
Born with
original sin, capable of original thought, ended up here anyway. Irreverent simplicity of marker on paper, evocative of primitive, yet subtly powerful
sophisticated musings on the condition of deep meaning and shallow lines.
