Good morning, good morning, good morning, and welcome, welcome, welcome
in this time now for our community connection right here on K one, the
one you trust. And it is good to have our neighbors and our new
neighbors and from Bartlesville Ourn't Association in the house today. We have Amy Jenkins
at Denise Park and we're gonna have Jan call us in on the telephone here
in just a little bit. But ladies, first of all, welcome,
welcome to the neighborhood. Now, thank you, thank you very much.
You're having us well. We appreciate you guys being in town and taking care
of things beautifying Bartlesville one paint stroke at a time. YEA, love us.
Now we've got the new facility, tell us about it. Yes,
it's two seventeen South Comanche Avenue and us in the Comanche Center. Beautiful accommodations.
We have big bright windows that we can use for a natural light.
It's clean, it's easy to find. It's right off of Frank Phelps.
Actually we're right across from the radio station. Yeah, pretty much it is.
We can just wave out now, you know, Amy, this is
really kind of cool. We've got you in a new location. Everybody's starting
to get more familiar with the new location, but some things are still the
same, like this quite big event we have coming up here soon. That's
right, we've got our annual show and sale. It's coming up. Our
reception and awards are on the twenty fifth of August, and we are still
calling for artists to enter their work, to submit all kinds of work to
be judged, and there are prizes and recognitions and so the you would register
online at Bartlesville Art Association dot org and then you would bring your artwork in
this Saturday at the Community Center from eleven to two. That part hasn't changed.
That's right. We're going to be upstairs in the Lion Gal and it'll
be a beautiful show. It always is. Thank you. Well, you
know you gotta tell the truth where the truth lies. Yeah, we're gonna
Denise and I are both going to enter, so we hope, you know,
we'll win a prize. Now, there's no need to be shy,
folks. If you're if you're if you're a budding artist, or if you've
been around a little bit, here's your chance to kind of display, you
know, what's been firing up your soul exactly. Yes, And it's open
to members and non members alike, show as well as high school students.
So if you're a member, it's it's thirty dollars center. If you're a
non member, it's only thirty five, and it's free for high school a.
Well, you got to do that because you got to get them started,
that's right. And we've be given away three scholarships this year, a
thousand dollars apiece for high school students in Bartlesville for higher education of their choice.
Now thinks that's really nice when you see the youngsters come along, isn't
it. That's so true. We have some really talented high school students.
We're very proud of them. Well should we all are. I mean,
this is a great community, first of all, and we just really kind
of celebrate our kids a little bit more than I think most communities do.
Yes, maybe, so that's the beauty of a small town. Yes,
yes, it is. Now we're talking a little bit about memberships. What
comes with membership. With a individual membership, it's forty dollars and you in
this for the year, you get a free one to one class, which
we have coming up. We have a drawing classis and oils class. We
usually have eight to ten free classes every year and also included on Wednesdays we
have open art studio and that right now because the heat, we're meeting on
Wednesdays from ten to twelve. Everybody, our members just bring in there whatever
they're working on, and we're going at there and it's really exhilary. It's
just not getting together with a with a bunch of brother artists. If you
have issues, problems, if you're not sure of a technique, everybody is
there to help each other and it's just fun. It's just it's fun and
you learn a lot even though you're just working on your own individual piece.
Well, this is great. It sounds like there's a nice bond with people
involved here, which is really good. Yes, all right, this might
be our friend here. I'm gonna take it a while. Yes, and
good morning. Welcome. You're on Community Connection. Is this Jan? Hi?
Hello? Hello? Hi? This is Jan Brish. Hey Jan,
how are you doing well? This is great. We're in studio and we're
on the air. We have Amy and Denise here with us, and Jan
you're a show judge, you know, workshop presenter. Tell us a little
bit about what you'll be doing here in Bartlesville when you come by. Well,
I have three opportunities in Bartlesville. I'll be judging the show obviously,
but also be presenting a workshop. Tuesday's birthday of their annual our show is
I understand it's to sail as well, so that's what I'll be doing,
staying with some friends and catching up. I haven't been home for a couple
of years now, so it'll be nice. It will be nice days.
You want to say something to you, Jane, I wanted to tell everyone
that Jan has just published her first coloring book. Yeah, and it's for
Christmas, and I wanted her to tell everyone about it, and I asked
her to bring some copies to sell when she can. I did. I
just received about fifty copies and the mail that I had ordered yes to day.
I'm taking some down to the art gallery where I show and in Georgetown,
Texas. But I will also be bringing several copies with me and I'll
have them sign. They're also available on Amazon, so it's exciting. Not
a normal coloring book. Tell us about it, Well, it's very intricate,
pen anding drawings. I use stippling, primarily, which is the tiny
dots of ink, and so they're pen and in drawings that people can then
finish by adding color with colored pencil. And she also shows people the techniques
for the colored pencil in her book as well. She's also teaching a class
on the stipling technique that we wanted to tell everyone about. It's called bordering
on Appstract and so you don't have to know how to draw to participate in
this class because it's shapes and lines and colors and a lot of pen and
ink dots. So I think it'll be really fun for people that are interested
in people various ways to get started when you're faced with that blak white paper,
how do you start and abstract painting? And so we'll be we'll be
going step by step and we'll do several small ones, so hopefully people will
have a real good idea of how to execute a drawing like that. Oh,
it'll be fine. This sounds like it's going to be a lot of
fun. It will be. It's Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, I
believe, and the cost is three hundred for members. It's three full days,
I believe, it's three twenty for non members. And there are a
few spots left. Well, very good. You bet again. While they're
they're open because they're going fast. This is all they workshop. I believe
it's nine to noon and then one to four us. Yeah, we'll be
working all day and hopefully we'll have a lot of fun. I think that
people learn from each other. That's always been my experience, as well as
from the instructor. So it'll be give and take and we're going to have
some good times and learn a lot. I hope that's right. And I
don't know if everybody remembers jan she taught here for many years and so former
students can drop by and say hello. It's so fun when that happens.
When I first started teaching nineteen sixty nine in deal Rio, Texas, I've
done some workshops with some of my former former students. If not called me
off, I've moved on through exact and we're walking with gray hair at their
grandparents I we just said at this time. So I wipe that I will
be able to connect with some of my former students would be wonderful. It
sounds like it's going to be a blast. Yes, you can see an

been working with us for several years and always has a great class. I'm
going to teach a watercolor beginner class on the twenty first of October, and
Chris's class starts in September. I'm not sure about the particular dates. We

a lady that does printmaking. Her name is Justine Cherwinck, and she's going
