September 27, 2011 > Roving Artists Exhibit Roving Artists Exhibit Submitted By Marlene Leal The Roving Artists will present their seventh showcase of works from October 1 until October 31 at Mission Coffee Roasting, 151 Washington Boulevard, Fremont. The opening reception is from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, October 9. As an added feature, Roving Artists will display a group of paintings with a botanical theme, featuring a selected painting from each artist. Each artist was challenged to create a painting of their favorite or most interesting plant. The Roving Artists have explored the joys of watercolor together for eleven years. This year we have included photographs by Mary Stephens and oil paintings by Maria Romeo. Members have closely knit friendships that have been a blessing in many ways in addition to art. Every month each member paints or photographs her own interpretation of a visual challenge chosen by the group. Past challenges have included family portraits, storm scenes, themes from favorite books, and landscapes in the style of Cezanne and van Gogh. In addition, each painter pursues the watercolor subjects that catch her heart - landscapes, florals, still lifes, and portraits. Members of Roving Artists include Joan Logan, Judy Anglin, Marlene Leal, Maria Grazia Romeo, Susan Olsen, Brenda DeLuca, Katherine Latson, Mary Stephens, and Robin Worthington.
