Lois Byrne, artist and resident of OHCC, will be the featured speaker at our next meeting on Tuesday, March 15 at 1:00 p.m. in the Mykonos Room.  Lois developed a love of painting as a young child.  She describes her life as a painter as a continual exploration of media and techniques and most importantly the evolvement of what gives her the most pleasure and personal satisfaction. She does not paint to please others or to sell her work.  She began painting in oil then moved to watercolors and then to acrylics.  She gradually transitioned from realism to the abstract.  Her current paintings use just three primary colors and are painted on canvas or masonite. Lois has exhibited her work at local artisan galleries which she has always preferred over commercial galleries.  At our meeting, Lois plans to give OHCC “closet artists” tips on showing their work and learning from criticism.
