The BWAA will feature an oil painting demonstration by Rita Brace, award winning plein air oil painter, at its June 17th meeting at the Jonathan Bourne Library at 1 p.m. This is a free event and all are welcome.

Brace is best known for her seascapes painted with bold brush strokes and strong color. She will be teaching a workshop at Monument Beach through the Plymouth Center for the Arts in early August. Her paintings can be viewed atritabrace.blogspot.com.

The BWAA plans a busy 50th year with a new slate of officers elected at the May meeting including Pat White as president, Sharman Moses as vice president, Charles Wood as secretary, and Muriel Locklin as treasurer.

This year, the 50th Annual Art Show will be held at Buzzards Bay Park, Bourne, on Saturday, July 19th from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
