Let the Season Begin!

Please join us for our first ArtChix sale of the season, November 28 and 29. This is the weekend following Thanksgiving, when everyone will be shopping for those early Christmas presents so stop by and see what we will have to offer. There will be artwork of all sizes and styles, greeting cards and artisan jewelry available!

ArtChix Sale

Five of the ArtChix are holding an art sale this coming weekend, April 18 and 19. We have been painting up a storm and will offer artisan jewelry as well at this sale. We hope to see you Saturday or Sunday!

Diane Eason Caricature by Madeline Ledzinski

This is another of our ArtChix, Diane Eason, done in caricature by the famous Madeline Ledzinski. She has vowed to do all of the ArtChix portraits in caricature style, so those of you who have not been targeted, get ready....your turn is next!

Two more ArtChix

The photos of these two ArtChix were missed in the first set of photos submitted for our weekend ArtChix sale, all photos were taken by Jim Greenwald. Thanks Jim for taking these lovely photos!

Caricatures by Madeline

At the ArtChix show/sale this past weekend one of the ArtChix, Madeline Ledzinski, dropped by to practice her caricature skills by drawing caricatures of four of us. Those who know us will recognize Sharon King, Barbara Lang, Ruth Malins and me, Susan Roper from these fun drawings. The most difficult part of sitting for these portraits was to stop talking long enough for Madeline to get the facial features correctly.

Aren't these fun?!

ArtChix Show - March 21 and 22

The ArtChix are holding an art show/sale this weekend, with seven artists participating. I have received photos of four of these artists from the Sun City Grand Art Club's Historian, Jim Greenwald. The artists shown here are: Diane Eason, Susan Roper, Norma Miller and Ruth Malins. When I receive the photos of the others I will add them here. It was a beautiful day to be strolling through an art show!

I, as the ArtChix Blog Mistress, have set up another important art blog for the Vanguard Artists.
We are a group of artists in the West Valley and disprove the fact that good art begins and ends at Central Avenue and is to be found only in the East Valley (Scottsdale) area. There are many lifelong artists in this group and their rich and varied art experience shows in their magnificent work.

ArtChix members who belong to Vanguard Artists are: Ann Stubenrauch, Arlen Madole, Barbara Lang, Diane Eason, Norma Miller, Madeline Ledzinski, Ruth Malins, Carol Kennedy and Sharon King. Members of the Sun City Grand Art Club who also belong to the Vanguard group are: Kandyce Olson, Judy Visker, Ron Anderson, Woodie Mackey, Steve Plichta, Connie Bollard and Kay Verstraete.

There are slideshows of some of the individual artists' work, and this sidebar feature is being developed more as we speak. Do stop by and have a look at: http://vanguardartists.blogspot.com/, we'd love to hear from you!

Upcoming Art Sale!

Be sure to mark your calendar for the next ArtChix sale. It will be Saturday and Sunday, March 21 and 22. The participating artists are working hard producing great art for display and sale. I hear tell that there will be some lovely new pieces of Artisan Jewelry available as well.

Artisan Jewelry is a new art media offered through the Sun City Grand Art Club and involves the sculpting of wire to produce jewelry and to enhance objects. Come and see what we are up to now!
