Schedule of Las Cruces Meetings

Southern Chapter Meetings

    • Sunday, September 14, 2025
    • 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM
    • 3011 Buena Vida Circle, Las Cruces, NM

    After a summer hiatus, the Southern Chapter of NMWS opens its new year with "My Artsy Summer", a chance for members and guests to bring paintings or sketchbooks they've created over the summer break, or speak of their art experiences over the summer. Members may also bring paintings that you've created after borrowing one of our DVDs to inspire others to learn more!

    This is always a special and inspiring program to get reacquainted with each other and spark creativity and painting practice going forward. 

    We welcome the public to come to our meetings and get to know us and learn about watercolor.  Hope to see you there!

    “Painting Watching: A Gentle Critique”

    Molly Murphy

    November 16, 10:30 am-12 noon

    Mesilla Park Heritage Condominium Clubhouse

    905 Conway Ave., Mesilla Park

    Bring a Painting for Feedback!
    NO Cost but Donation Appreciated

    “Painting Watching: A Gentle Critique” is a group of directed activities that Molly designed as a format to talk about works of art. While they can be used in many ways, these activities are especially effective as tools for feedback to artists as they are creating the piece. Molly will bring one of her prints as a basis for the activities to introduce us to the idea of a gentle critique. The free session is limited to ten people who will bring a painting of their own to offer for critique. Contact Beverley Pirtle at bapirtle[at]comcast.net to register. Donations are accepted.

    Molly is a member of NMWS-SC, and artist, and an educator who splits her time between Tucson and San Diego. She gave the November 2023 program on this subject. This will be our second Painting Watching mini event. 

    For 47 years, teaching was Molly’s “Winter” art, and painting was her “Summer” one. Now, retired from both the 6th grade classroom and as an adjunct Art Education professor at School of Museum of Fine Arts Boston/Tufts University, she is a full-time artist who teaches a little bit and divides her time between Las Cruces and Southern California.
