ART CONNECTIONS  SPECIAL EDITION Newsletter May 13, 2020

Welcome to the fifth special edition of VSC's Art Connections! Thanks to everyone for your submissions! This week's theme is-- you guessed it -- flowers! We intend to publish every image but may sometimes hold off on publishing in an effort  to group images into loosely-defined themes, as we did last week and this. How about some sketches... in pencil, pen, or paint? Preliminary, tentative, fully developed? From a past Tuesday afternoon session, a trip, or just personal exploration of an idea? -- Rand Harrison and Val Lawton Victor Lotto Artist: Victor Lotto Title: Playfair Park, acrylic 16" x 20" Artist's Comments: It's still a bit rough and perhaps a bit garish!
