About Us
The Parkland Art League is a group of artists whose objectives are: to encourage friendship among persons interested in art, to awaken and sustain their interest in art and to exhibit the art of our members. In addition we offer the public the opportunity to purchase original art. Members are provided opportunities to advance their skills by offering a lending library of instructional DVDs, having exceptional artist demonstrators at monthly meetings and hosting workshops taught by artists who excel in their craft. CLUB HISTORY
Upcoming Events and Meetings
Opening Receptions at Stony Run Winery, September 17, 5-7 pm and at Blue Mountain Vineyard September 12, 4-6pm.
September Meeting on the 9th, will be a demonstration by Jennifer Adams, starting at 7pm.
Jennifer's goal in her oil paintings is to truthfully capture the splendor of light in a manner that reminds viewers of the beauty of all creation, in all of its manifestations. The approach is based on a careful study of the principles of natural light combined with techniques developed from classical art training. The objective of a landscape painting, for example, is to capture the light at certain moments in the day amidst the current weather condition.
During her demo, Jennifer will begin an oil painting of a landscape using the “prismatic palette” that was passed down to her from previous generations of artists. It is simply a string of pigments laid out to correspond with the prism in nature in order to realistically render light and atmosphere
