In Memoriam . . .
Bill (William) Marsh - Long-time member and master painter of wildlife--especially birds--passed away May 30th, 2013. Always a smile on his face, you would never know he was ill for such a long time. He was a soft-spoken, friendly and jovial gentleman of many talents who will be sorely missed at the Sebastian River Art Club. Of note, Bill was a WWII Veteran who served in the Pacific Asian Theater.
Carolyn Gribbroek - Although not a long-time member, Carolyn loved art and enjoyed the camraderie of other artists and attended various events of the Club. The photo posted below is Carolyn holding a painting she had done in art class at the Clubhouse, the quality of which proves her skill as a painter. Carolyn passed away June 14th, 2013.

And now, on the lighter side . . .
JULY 4TH PARADE
The Sebastian River Art Club will be represented in the July 4th parade in Sebastian. Member Roy Woodall and his wife have graciously volunteered their big boat, pulled by his truck. Peni Baker has been diligently working on the banner, and Thelma Koopman has been coordinating things and has donated her beautiful carousel horse which she decorated for the event. The photo below is just a sampling of things to come!

The Children's show, "Summer Fun" comes down the end of June, and the reception was a smashing success. Many children and their parents and friends showed up, and a good time was had by all. Our members enjoyed hearing about the children's work and what it meant to them. Some stories were rather funny, but it was obvious that their artwork was important to them in expressing their impressions of life's events.
Ciou!
