X-WR-CALDESC:Propagator level members will enjoy their monthly wine recepti
 on while mixing and mingling with the artist. \n\nDetail is something you 
 don't often see a lot of in watercolor paintings\, but that's not the case
  with our October and November featured artist. Come and meet Steve Taylor
 \, the architect turned artist who first picked up a paint brush only six 
 years ago. \n\nHere's what Steve said about painting in a recent Hoover's 
 Magazine article:\n'My preferred medium is watercolor. Primarily because o
 f the inherent qualities\, or ‘personalities’ associated with fluid pigmen
 ts.  Sometimes\, it’s like dancing with ‘Sybil’.  One moment everything is
  in harmony but then it can turn on you in an instant.  There is a special
  sereneness about working with a wet medium on semi-wet paper.  Transparen
 t pigments take on a life of their own as they mix and blend with one anot
 her while still in a fluid state.  For me\, painting with watercolor requi
 res total concentration\, almost a meditative state.  The drawing is just 
 as important as the painting because of the transparent nature of watercol
 or.  A lot of marks will be visible in a finished painting due to the tran
 sparency of the medium\, so the character of a painting can very well be e
 stablished before the first stroke of a brush.'\n\nHere's another great qu
 ote from Steve taken from that recent Hoover's Magazine article:\n'Every p
 ainting creates its’ own memories.  The first watercolor that I completed 
 was a portrait of my Dad.  I sat down the day that he passed away and didn
 ’t get up until it was finished.  Needless to say\, there was more moistur
 e on that paper than just tap water.  It remains a favorite of mine.  I ha
 ve been very fortunate throughout my life to be able to create things.  I 
 have been asked as an architect\, what I felt when I enter buildings that 
 I designed.  The answer is the same as a mentor of mine\, Mr. Don Morrison
 \, told me many years ago\, 'I think of what could have been done differen
 tly to make it better.''\n\nJoin us on the 10th to hear Steve speak direct
 ly about his exhibit. \n\nThis propagator member event will roll into the 
 general artist reception beginning at 6 p.m. \n
