Members Laurie Kaswiner and Adrienne Davis hung new artwork in the Mirasol Member Art Gallery last week! Located near the Board Room in our Grand Clubhouse, this new exhibit showcases the work of the Art Club and the Photography Club. Members of both clubs were asked to contribute one or more of their pieces for this exhibition and we were delighted that so many decided to participate!

The paintings are the product of several workshops the Art Club held this year. One workshop was “Painting with Nature.” Mrs. Kaswiner, Mrs. Davis, and Karyn Sherman, who run the Art Club, collected an assortment of branches, grasses, leaves, and similar materials to use as paintbrushes on pre-painted canvas boards. During the workshop, members dipped their natural brushes in India ink and then slapped, flicked or dragged the brushes on to the pre-painted boards. At another workshop, members experimented with pouring acrylic paint onto canvases, and the results were beautiful, loose abstract paintings, which you will also see in the Gallery.

Finally, the Photography Club, led by member Peter Raimondi, is showing “Self-Portraits in Shadow,” “Reflection,” and “Freestyle.” The work on display was selected by Mr. Raimondi as some of each of his club members’ best examples of using the camera as a tool for composition, texture, mystery, and so much more.

The paintings and photography will be on display until November, when the artwork will be swapped out for new pieces. We thank our incredibly talented members for sharing their creativity, vision, and passion with the community through this vibrant and inspiring exhibition.

Last weekend, more than 500 members and their families gathered at the Club to celebrate Mother`s Day in style! Guests enjoyed an incredible spread featuring a fresh raw bar, parfait and carving stations, hot breakfast favorites, creative sides, decadent desserts, and so much more. Our talented bartenders kept the bubbly flowing, and our special flower bar added extra color and fun to this truly special day.

Members, remember to check our private SmugMug gallery for photos from this and all other events, where you can save them to your device for sharing and printing!
