ALOC Meeting on March 19th to feature demo by Nancy Baur Dillen

Nancy Baur Dillen, retired professor of art at Brevard Community College, merges imagery of the real and unreal, the romantic and the dramatic, in a recent series of surreal landscapes.  Two concepts reflected in Dillen's work are the need to accept things as they are, and the need to dream.   She creates her unusual and inventive paintings with hand-made oil paints which she creates with dry pigments and burnt plate oil, the binder for intaglio ink.  Be sure to attend this exciting demo.  


March 19th at 1:30
Place:  Beardall Senior Center, 800 Delaney, Orlando


As usual, please bring a snack for sharing and forward this notice to anyone you think may be interested in learning about Nancy Dillen's technique.
