LOOK FOR 2 NEW ARTISTS Two new artists will join the ranks of the original 24. They are Stacy Barter and Matthew Cornell. Barter, who graduated from the University of Central Florida with a journalism degree, has been painting full- time since 1996. For her stunning fl orals and still lifes she uses oils, as she loves the “fluid, juicy, wet-in-wet painting.” In anticipation of the Paint Out, Barter has been “faithfully painting outside every day.” There is, she says, “so much excitement and intensity to working from life.” Paint outs also offer the “excitement of having all these fresh, wet canvases and people coming through to see how the artists have interpreted their community.” Watching art in progress is “how I got interested in being an artist,” Barter says. Barter finds the camaraderie of a paint out appealing. It is inspiring to be around other artists, she says. She expects to also fi nd inspiration in the fl ower beds at the Polasek and in street scenes along Park Avenue. Her plan is to start two different paintings a day, making use of the morning and afternoon light. Cornell, who came to Winter Park four years ago from Louisville, Ky., has been working as an artist for 15 to 20 years. He did a “little” – meaning probably five paintings, he says – plein air painting after graduating from college in California before he moved into studio work. His involvement in the Paint Out brings him full circle, Cornell says, and, Stacy Barter, also a first-timer at the Paint Out, says there’s ‘excitement and intensity to working from life.’ PAINT OUT ARTISTS Stephen Bach: stephenbach.com Stacy Barter: stacybarter.com Linda Blondheim: lindablondheim.com Christophe Cardot: christopheart.com Kathy Chenet: kathleenchenet.com Matthew Cornell: matthewcornell.com Charles Dickinson: charlesdickinson.net Cynthia Edmonds: cynthiaedmonds.com Sally Evans: sallyevans.com Elisabeth Ferber: elisabeth-ferber.com M.J.
