Grand Opening Announcement

Photos from Tom Lynch's Demo

We thought you would enjoy some photos taken at Tom Lynch's demo at the Maria Center on Tuesday evening, April 14th.  It was a fantastic mini class and demo.  He took paintings supplied by our members and showed us how they could be taken from "nice" to WOW by finding and emphasizing their focal points.  Lynch feels a strong focal point is a must for a good composition.

I'm sorry we didn't get photos of the members paintings before Lynch reworked them.  They were very "nice" paintings, but Lynch transformed them into WOW paintings primarily by enhancing their focal points and then applying other elements of good design.
