The August 28, in person Member Meeting 

Due to a date conflict with Labor Day, the September Member meeting will actually be held on August 28th, at the Heights Christian Church. Many members have been dying of curiosity to learn how John Cormier, NMWS creates his lovely washes as exemplified in "light through the trees" paintings. Though his "day job" is as a Mechanical Engineer, working full time for the National Nuclear Security Administration, on Kirtland Base, John has definitely developed the other side of his brain by honing his skills in watercolor and gouache. His favorite subjects range from ballet dancers to landscapes. And though busily engaged with family life as husband and father to a pair of teenagers, he has also created a number of award winning painting and contributes to NMWS as a Board Member-at-Large. During his presentation, John will demonstrate his techniques for achieving masterful depictions of gentle, glowing light passing through trees and foliage.
