GREAT LAKES Purely Pastel July August 2019 From the President’s Studio By any measure the member show was a great success. The space at the Carnegie Center is spacious and airy with excellent LED lighting. All of the work was equally well lit. The staff at the center were eager to please and we have already been invited to return again at a future date. The juror’s remarks before the awards presentation were a welcome addition to the evening. We now turn our attention to the annual meeting that will again take place in the fall. The board has approved a location for the meeting and we are working to confirm an open date so that we may announce it to the membership and we may all try to arrange our schedules in order to attend. The meeting last fall drew a very respectable number of members and we hope that the upcoming meeting will yield the same. Remember that we will once again be holding elections for board positions at the annual meeting. The positions to be voted on are president and treasurer. If you might be interested, or know someone who might be willing to serve please provide that information to Vice-President Tim Tenbusch at mrttenbusch@yahoo.com. We are especially interested in someone with experience with Quickbooks for the treasurer position.

Jill Stefani-Wagner
People who know me well are aware of the fact that I
tend to be a bit of a pit bull. When I want to achieve
something, I work endlessly toward that goal. Sometimes
that can be seen as a negative trait, but I’ve always seen it
as one of my strongest attributes. What I lack in classical
training, I make up for with dogged perseverance.
And in reality, I think anyone who has aspirations in ANY
field has to put in the “ten thousand hours” to improve.
Ballerinas, heart surgeons, plumbers, writers and
astronauts all have to practice, practice, practice to
achieve their goals. But somewhere along the line, artists
have been assigned that mystical “natural talent.” As if we
come out of the womb knowing how to use color,
arrange elements, see value, draw perfectly, use
paintbrushes and, well, you know…create art.
Not. True.
I can assure you that any artist worth his or her salt has
put in endless hours and miles of canvas to improve. As
well as reading about art, visiting museums, mixing color,
taking classes, etc. It’s not so much about pure talent. It’s
more about an obsessive passion that keeps us coming
back, over and over, after every success and every failure,
to try and take our skills to the next level.
"Into the Light" (right) was painted at the Dexter Plein Air
Festival early one morning. It was not awarded in the
show and has not been purchased, but I felt it was a
breakthrough painting for me. Although it received
several rejections, I kept entering it into national
exhibitions because I believed in it. (And, of course there’s
that pit bull thang…Grrrrrrrr.) This year it was accepted
into the prestigious

Programs and
Events On June 21 about 40-some people gathered at the Carnegie Center for
the Arts in Three Rivers MI for the opening reception of the 2019 GLPS
Members Exhibit. There are 53 pastels by 38 artists with a wide variety of subjects,
ranging from a stand of sunlit trees to a young woman leaping into the air in front of a watery
shoreline. Alan Larkin, our juror/judge of awards, gave a brief talk. Alan has a very impressive resume, as he was
an art professor for 40 years at Indiana University South Bend, and won the top award in the 2016 Pastel 100 sponsored by
magazine. Alan discussed some of the difficulties he has these days in jurying and judging an art show. He
compared his task to the much easier task of judging a piece of written work because there are stricter standards in
the world of writing. Not so much in the art world.
Our president, Jim Henke, then handed out 13 awards, with the top Gold Award going to Ed Kennedy for his forest scene titled,
. Joyce Harlukowicz won the Silver Award with , and Mary Ann Pals won the Bronze Award
with . Our generous product award sponsors who donated 8 product certificates are: Jack Richeson Corp, Savoir-
Faire/Sennelier, Terry Ludwig Pastels, Dick Blick Art Materials, and UART.
The Carnegie Center has again done a superb job of hosting a stunning GLPS show. They not only are providing the gallery
space, but also graciously provided the yummy refreshments at our reception, and printed our lovely programs free of charge to
the GLPS. If you go to visit the exhibit before the last day, Sept. 7, please be sure to thank the Carnegie Center staff for their
hospitality. We will definitely want to come back there for some future exhibits.
Thanks also to Deb Van Leen for creating our programs, and Mary Tallman (our Exhibit Co-chair) and Melody Allen for helping
to hang the show. Many hands make light work. Please consider helping with our annual show next year.
WE NEED MORE VOLUNTEERS.

Programs and The members of the Great Lakes Pastel Society have assembled an
Events impressive array of works in their annual exhibition. Competition was fierce
among some very seasoned artists, exhibiting a wide range of skills and sensibilities. A
total of 137 pastels by 43 artists were entered in the competition this year, out of which I
selected 53 works. Keeping the show relatively small sets the bar high. Artists enter these shows
expecting to measure themselves according to tough standards. If the shows are small, then mere acceptance
constitutes a highly sought-after honor.
Top winner this year was Ed Kennedy. His “Sunlit Pines” Is a forceful drawing masterwork that captures the effect of light
breaking through a stand of trees. I’d like viewers to remark on his use of negative space in creating a powerful central focus out
of which spring lateral lines that invoke the feeling of great movement. The strong color and value contrasts of the center are
later echoed in supporting areas by subtle tones of violet and pale green. No hesitation here, and no muddiness.
Second prize goes to a comparatively restrained and elegant study of an isolated farmhouse and oak tree, “Huron County
Gothic” by Joyce Harlukowicz. I was especially drawn to the purity of the color in this work. Bright green, yellow, orange and
blue are juxtaposed with one another offering a Mondrian-like sense of balance. While detail is repressed in the large shapes that
make up the composition, there is a nice use of brittle detail in the foreground’s broken fence. It unifies this work by linking the
ground to the sky above, and also generates additional lateral movement in the piece.
The dramatic “Wall Walker” by Mary Ann Pals rounds out the top three pastels in this year’s competition. The placement of the
lizard in this piece is like a calligraphic stroke. Notice that within its carefully rendered scale coat atmospheric perspective is
effectively used to create a strong sense of forward motion. The detail in the outward thrusting head, through its sharp definition
of small shapes, darkest darks and lightest lights, offers greatest contrast and excitement.
The rest of the show offers up other gems that are well worth a look.
The GLPS annual meeting is sheduled for this fall (details to follow) and we are in need of two new
officers and a new board member. ’s position needs to be filled as James Henke, who has

annual meeting.GLPS Online
Salon Our First Annual Plein Air Edition
We are fortunate to have Jill Stefani-Wagner PSA-MP IAPS/MC as
our critic for the next issue of the GLPS Online Salon.
Whatever she paints, Wagner’s primary focus is always “the light” and
how it affects the landscape, seascape or cityscape scene she’s trying to
capture. Working in pastel and oil, she approaches her paintings as a sculptor would,
carving out nuances of light and shadow.
Jill is a devoted plein air artist, painting in
Europe and at US plein air festivals. She’s
a designated Master Pastelist in the Pastel
Society of America and Master Circle in
the International Association of Pastel
Societies. Jill also belongs to Oil Painters of America, American
Impressionist Society, Degas Pastel Society and Great Lakes Pastel
Society. Her work is frequently published in Pastel Journal, Fine Art
Connoisseur Magazine and also Plein Air Magazine, which recently
featured one of her paintings on its cover. She was honored to be on
the faculty of the Plein Air Convention in 2016, 2017 and 2019.
A life-long Michigander with a BFA from University of Michigan School
of Art, Wagner owned an award-winning design firm in Ann Arbor
before “seeing the light” and becoming a full-time artist.
