Richard grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, impressed by the photographs printed in Life magazine and admiring the work of Ansel Adams. While still in high school he learned his way around the darkroom in his job as assistant photographer for the city of Cleveland. Photography has always been his avocation, even while earning his living in the business world. He focuses on landscape, nature, sports, and historical objects, printing on various surfaces, including aluminum, glass, and wood. Once photographed, all of his finishing work is done on his home computer. Richard received a First Place in the TEAA Annual Show for his photo of a Douglas DC3 fixed-wing, prop-driven airplane.

2 NEWSLETTER OCTOBER 2016 Newman cont. Richard has traveled in 29 countries plus extensively in the US, photographing all the while. Photography is not a job for me; it is a passion for capturing memories., he says. What I try to do is capture the images in an artistic way by composition or by enhancing them on the computer to offer a new perspective. Photography has moved from just taking pictures to that of an art form using a camera and a lens like an artist uses a pallet and brush. We all know Richard for his contributions to TEAA serving as board president and as a champion of effective marketing of the gallery artwork. Check out his work at window-to-the-world-photography.com Welcome Back, Shirley! See you Thursday, October 6 at 10 a.m.!

3 NEWSLETTER OCTOBER 2016 Summer 2017 Workshops are HOT! We are delighted to announce that TEAA is bringing two very popular and well-respected artists to our studio next summer. Michael Schlicting (michaelschlicting.com) will present a three-day workshop for intermediate and advanced artists on painting with acrylics June 19, 20, and 21. Judy Morris (judymorris-art.com) will work with the same levels of watercolor artists July 24, 25, 26, and 27. She promises to share several enhancement strategies she has been using recently. Check each artist s website to get a general idea of the wonderful work each is doing. Here is the key point: Act now if you are interested. One reason that each artist is looking forward to coming to TEAA is that we have promised a maximum of 12 participants for each workshop. Because the number is small, we are opening pre-registration only to TEAA members, beginning NOW. The Acrylic Workshop will cost $300. for members and the Watercolor Workshop, $400. To reserve your spot, send a check for $100. payable to TEAA and clearly marked with which workshop you have selected. If you wish to attend both workshops, please send a clearly marked check for each one. In January, if there are remaining openings in either workshop, registration will be opened to non-member artists. Our planning ahead has brought us these fine artist/instructors. Let s fill up those spots! Some ways you can contribute to Trail s End Art Association and get a tax write-off: Do you have an ipad4 to donate? Or new and simpler use of the Square-Up to record credit card purchases will require a more up-to-date ipad than we are currently using. Other internet devices may work; call Richard at for more info. The studio is in dire need of a couple of electric pencil sharpeners in good working order. Maybe you ll see one at a garage sale..or maybe you are in a position to donate a brand new one; call Judi Marsh-Garrity at for info. Would you like to see a nice new bench in the TEAA yard? The old one is held together with bungee cords! There are many commercial styles available but a home-made wooden one would be just as nice. Take up this project and write off cost of supplies!
