Notes from Red Raccoon
Bellissimo at Gervasi Vineyard was an adventure. (Isabel was in the pavilion and I haven’t talked with her to find out how she survived.) People from Gervasi were very helpful assisting artists transport supplies from the parking lot and setting up booths. Since it was a very hot day, Gervasi had set up some large fans. One fan even had a hose attached that sprayed a fine mist to cool us off. People from Gervasi walked around with pitchers of ice water for us to drink. While Rick watched my booth, I had a chance to make a quick run through the show and was able to get a quick overview of the booths before the show opened. People began viewing the artwork in the booths shortly before the show opened at 2 PM. Many artists were watching the radar on cell phones. Storms were headed towards Akron. We’re OK. The storms are north and should not affect us. But wait! There’s more! A storm cell heading right for us. Oh No! Gervasi was passing out side panels for the canopies.

We Need YOU!
As you can see on page 3, we have several
exhibits planned. We need people to help with
the planning and set up for these exhibits. If
you can help a little or a lot, Please contact any
member of the CAL Board . (Contact
information is on page 1.)
An all-Ohio exhibit featuring artists Judy Brandon of Cleveland, Leslie Shiels of Cincinnati, and Carol Snyder of Columbus. With defining voices in both images and words, these artists bring their thoughts, concerns, and life experiences to our attention through watercolor, oil, and porcelain creations. The conversations inspired by these women and their art focus on life and conflict. They are looking for visual threads to sew eras, cultures and people together; to tie our lives with our natural world – creating a life experience for audiences to reflect upon. This exhibition is presented in part by the Volunteer Angels of the Canton Museum of Art.

third panel up on the front, the windward side, about 2:30, it hit...in full force! The wind blew the Velcro holding the panel to the canopy loose. We had to grab the Velcro and hold on against the wind that was trying to blow the panel into my booth. The canopy tried to take off in one corner. (We could not pound our stakes fully into the ground because of the under ground sprinkler system.) Of course the canopy filled with water and over flowed through the space between the canopy and the side panel where I was holding it up. I had more than one shower. I was drenched, down to my toenails. Everything on my table was wet. Reproductions and note cards were in plastic envelopes and were not damaged, although they needed to be dried out after I returned home. The cardboard box was another story. My fabric wallet in my fanny pack and everything in it was soaked. Quilts that had been hanging on the outside of my display were wet, but fabric dries. A few drops of water on my paintings did not harm them. They were protected towards the back of the booth. Other booths were not so lucky. The booth next to mine had a shelf unit blow over and thin geodes broken. I’m sure other booths had losses also.
(Continued from page 1) The storm passed and the sun came out and we surveyed the damages and tried to dry things off. The customers who had not been chased off came out from the protection of the pavilion and restaurant. A few people looked behind the side panels to see the art, but most just walked by. The show was finished. Another storm cell was spotted on the radar so we were permitted to pack up and leave before it hit. One cannot predict, when a show is scheduled, what the weather will be. We take our chances when we sign up for a show. (I sold a couple paintings so the show was not a total loss)

CAL – CMA Wall Artists
September - Dharitri Tripathy
Dharitri Tripathy is a Canton, Ohio based
artist specializing in multi-disciplinary forms
of art mediums like oil, acrylic and Zentangle
pen art. A masters in economics graduate, she
is now a devoted artist and also a certified
Zentangle teacher (completed her certification
program from Zentangle Inc, Rhode Island,
USA). She has widely travelled around the
world, lived in China, India and now currently
residing with her family in US over four years. The avid travel
enthusiast that she is, Dharitri has converted the travel opportunity to
learn new forms of art as she visited various countries and weaved it
together in a non-traditional yet creative way. Her unique blend of art
forms have been recognized at various art shows including 2015
People’s Choice award at Massillon Museum of Art, and First Place
award at 73rd Annual May Show at ‘The little art gallery’ of the North
Canton Public Library. Dharitri also loves teaching art especially for children and is also engaged actively with the Stark county community
especially with several rehabilitation homes
where she teaches Zentangle art, a meditative
art practice to support the patients recovery
process. Dharitri is committed to continue
her efforts to widen her knowledge on
various other art forms and learn from the
other artists in the community.

October– Nancy Michel
“I am now enjoying retirement after thirty-six years of teaching art. My greatest passion is to be with my family and friends. I also love to read ALMOST as much as I love to create art! I take my dog Darcy ( think "Mr.Darcy" in the book Pride and Prejudice) on a two mile walk every morning, and love to walk in my pool in the summer!!!
I'm excited to be featured on the wall in October as my daughter's wedding reception is being held the same month in the Great Court! Thanks to C.A.L. for providing this opportunity!”
