<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #fce5cd; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">“It is going to be a very festive event since it is on Cinco de Mayo,” says CRA owner Marie Bean. “Amy's work is very colorful so we thought this type of celebration for the show opening was very appropriate and would be so fun!”<u></u><u></u></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #fce5cd; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Winton will have 50 originals on display as well as a selection of limited edition prints and books. “I am thrilled to show my work in such an impressive gallery with excellent space and lighting, and accomplished director and staff,” says Winton. “It will be exciting to see so many of my paintings in one show, where I can see where I have hiked, where I have picnicked and where I have painted off the road and path.”<u></u><u></u></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #fce5cd; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">In his foreword to <i>Canyon Visions, Photographs and Pastels of the Texas Plains</i>—a 1989 Winton collaboration with author Dan Flores—Larry McMurtry wrote, "Winton's pastels have captured the intimacy of the canyons and plains."<u></u><u></u></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #fce5cd; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Kippra Hopper, in the chapter on Winton's pastels in the 2010 book <i>Art of West Texas Women,</i>wrote, "Her vistas and landmarks are inland scenes of the habitats of the Panhandle of West Texas surrounded by the raw and rugged beauty of wildflowers, grasslands, riverbeds, canyons and horizons."<u></u><u></u></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #fce5cd; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">From her studio on Sand Creek in Lipscomb County Winton teaches and shows her work in regional exhibitions. From 2002 to 2004, she operated the Winton Art Studio and Gallery in downtown Canadian, establishing a presence in the local arts community that has in turn brought into the area such artists as Albert Handell for workshops. Winton says she also has been influenced by Ben Konis and Ray Vinella and has an emphasis on color in her work.<u></u><u></u></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #fce5cd; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">‘It is the light that falls on an object or a scene that ignites color possibilities in my imagination,” says Winton. “Even on the most overcast day, the light is there and saturates the objects and their surroundings in a moist way. I actually see the creative color combinations I place on these objects. Some are exaggerated to enhance the mood or emphasize the focal point, but the color is there.”<u></u><u></u></span></span></div>

The Canadian River Art Gallery will exhibit the first annual "Creative Canadians" local artist show on display from January 26 through February 24 with an artists' reception on Sunday, January 29 from 1-3pm. The reception is sponsored by the Canadian Arts Alliance and is free and open to the public. You can enjoy some coffee and dessert while taking in the art. This event was inspired by the many locals who have stopped by the gallery during the past year showing interest in displaying their work. As a local business owner I am only successful by the support shown from the community therefore I felt it was of utmost importance to show the community that same support back. My plan is to make this an annual event and hopefully it will give the artists a reason to keep their creative juices flowing all year in anticipation of next years show. The artists who will be featured in the upcoming show are photographers Dick Wilberforce, Terry Henderson and Clay Renick, pastelists Lauren Haley, Mary Laubhan and Cara Dawn Macias, Ashley Hale with charcoal and Polly Tubb with watercolor. All works of art will be available for purchase. I hope you will join us in supporting the talented artists of our community!</span><br />

</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Canadian River Art will bring a new downtown venue for Fall Foliage visitors in its first-ever Fine Arts Festival, an exhibition and sale of original fine arts, pottery, weaving, photography, watercolor and oil. Eight artists were juried in for the event and works by several more artists will be on display. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">"We wanted to do something special for Fall Foliage," said CRA Director Marie Bean. When buyers make a purchase, they also will be donating to a good cause. Ten percent of each purchase will be donated to their choice of three charities: the Lone Star Angel Project, Compassion International or Reece's Rainbow. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Of the eight featured artists, two are from Canadian---photographer Dick Wilberforce and glass sculptor Clinton Miller. Other Texans are Clay and Lisa Renick, a husband/wife duo of Borger---photographer and weaver, respectively---potter Roger Holmes of Lubbock, and photographer Deborah Summers of rural Hutchinson County. Out-of-staters are painter Sam Sidders of Gage, Oklahoma, and potter Theo Helmstadter of Santa Fe, New Mexico. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Canadian River Art Gallery opened in fall of 2010 and has featured several artists in openings throughout 2011. Artists whose work is currently on display also will exhibit during the Festival weekend: Gordon Snidow of Ruidoso, New Mexico, Doug Ricketts of Lipscomb, Gary Leddy of Leedey, Oklahoma, Kenneth Wyatt of Tulia and Ouray Meyers of Taos, New Mexico. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The 2011 Fall Foliage Festival poster artist, Anna Tepe of rural Hemphill County, will sign posters at Canadian River Art on Saturday, from 1 to 3 pm. Anna's photo of a landscape near her home was the basis of the annual Festival promotion, a tradition since 1990. The Canadian Arts Alliance sponsored this year's poster. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The charities benefited by a portion of the art sales are the Lone Star Angel Project, which assists local children with clothing, medical and education expenses; <a href="http://reecesrainbow.org/">Reece's Rainbow</a>, a down syndrome adoption ministry, and <a href="http://www.compassion.com/">Compassion International</a>, a charity focused on the spiritual, physical, and economic and social needs of children in poverty. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The gallery is located at 312 Main Street in downtown Canadian. The Fine Arts Festival will be open on Saturday, 10 am to 6 pm, and Sunday, 11 am to 4 pm. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">- Article written by Cathy Ricketts</span><br />
