Florida Paint-Out Announcement
April 22-28, 2012


Harold will participate in the Albin Polasek Museum & Sculpture Gardens Fourth Annual Winter Park Paint Out during the last week of April 2012. For this special event, 26 Plein air artists will roam across Winter Park capturing many of the favorite landscapes and landmarks with oils, watercolors and pastels. Plein Air, a French term meaning “in the open air,” describes art work painted outdoors with the subject directly in view rather than in a studio. Plein air artists capture the spirit and essence of a landscape or subject by incorporating natural light, color, and movement into their works.

Leslie Frontz, AWS featured in Beach Buddies
Watercolor Artist magazine

The watercolors of Leslie Frontz were featured in the December 2011 issue of Watercolor Artist, a fine arts magazine that provides inspiration, ideas and instruction. The article, titled “Studied Simplicity,” included eight of her paintings and a step-by step demonstration. Author Meredith E. Lewis described the artist’s interest in landscape painting and her approach to translating her experiences into paint. Beach Buddies, the watercolor right, was among the works featured.

American Watercolor Society
Annual International Exhibition 2012
Leslie Frontz, AWS
Curb Appeal

A watercolor by Leslie Frontz titled Curb Appeal (at right) will be included in the 145th American Watercolor Society’s Annual Exhibition. The painting will be on display at the Salmagundi Club in New York City from April 3 through April 22, 2012. Leslie Frontz was elected to membership in the American Watercolor Society in 2011, joining a small but elite group of national and international artists who have earned the privilege of including the letters AWS when affixing their signature to their paintings.

The American Watercolor Society has a rich history, and many renowned artists were and are members. It was organized in 1866 to promote the art of watercolor painting in America. Former members have included Winslow Homer, Charles Burchfield and Childe Hassam. The model for all societies that followed, AWS is the oldest society of its kind in the United States. Today, the AWS exhibition promotes contemporary watercolor artists from around the world.
