Weatherford Art Association names Artists of the Month for January

The Weatherford Art Association started its year by recognizing the work of some of its members.

First place was captured by artist Linda W. Young for her acrylic painting, “ ...And  A Good Cup of Coffee.” Thís richly lit rendition of an iconic cowboy at the end of his workday is sourced from a photograph gifted to Linda by artist James Spurlock 20 years ago. The model is famed artist Doug Prine. This work and other works by Linda will be on view at the Doss Heritage and Cultural Center during February.

Second place went to photographer Carmen Davailus, for a photograph on metal, “Grace and Strength.” The artist conveys an image of aging calla lilies showing both strength and vulnerability. In her words, “The soft reflection reminds us of how flowers can be a metaphor for life.” Her photograph will be displayed during February at First Bank Texas in downtown Weatherford.

Third place was awarded to Cindi Neverdousky for her oil painting, “Peaches.” A platter of velvety peaches rests in a warm setting surrounded by lovely pottery and fabric detailing. Cindi noted, “I worked with doing one stroke at a time to create the effects of this still life.” Cindi’s painting can be viewed throughout February at the Fort Worth Community Credit Union on South Main Street in Weatherford.

As part of its mission as a non-profit 501(3-C) corporation, the Weatherford Art Association provides monthly demonstrations to increase the knowledge of its members and support arts education for the community at large. Meetings are held from 6 to 7:45 p.m. on the fourth Monday of each month at 125 South Waco in Weatherford. For more information, visit weatherfordart.com.
