Don Schaeffer - I work from photographs abstracting what I see as the essence of the picture. I have been drawing and painting since I was in junior high school. I always thought I was serious about it. With the advent of the internet, I now have places to post and publish my work. I work with oil crayons and graphite as well as crayola crayons and graphite. I tried water color but don't feel that comfortable with them. -- I have written 5 books of poetry and published numerous poems in magazines and e-zines.

Zaher Bizri - Zaher El-Bizri is a young Lebanese artist. He specializes in painting and mixed-media pictorial and plastic arts. He developed a refined expertise in watercolors, in oil paintings, charcoal drawing, and graphic design, with a highly skilled use of Information Technology tools besides classical artistic media. El-Bizri focuses principally on representational and pictorial depictions of everyday scenes and quotidian intimate public spaces, of diverse characters and portraits, while being particularly inspired by the Levantine Mediterranean cultural milieu, and primarily by the architecture of the medieval quarters of the ancient Lebanese port city of Sidon (Saida). His artistic endeavors explore the profound promising potentials that remain presently contained within classical styles in painting, as well as experimenting with abstract configurations in pictorial art. His artistic activities are also situated within urban places, and they act as inspirational catalysts for stimulating dynamic cultural practices in the public domain in the form of installations, sculptures, and series of murals. El-Bizri received his Diploma in Fine Arts (Beaux Arts) in 2000, from the Lebanese University in Beirut. His prolific artistic productions and creative works have been exhibited on a regular basis since 1998 in numerous prestigious art galleries and venues. He ...

Robert P. Hedden - My passions are plein air painting landscapes, mostly in oils, and life/figure, mostly in watercolor, plus some portraits. I also work in acrylic, pastel and mixed media.When I can't paint outdoors I am working in my "Studio On The Narrows", overlooking the St. Lawrence River from Wellesley Island NY. My subject matter is eclectic and along with my mood will influnce the medium. I am more interested in the creation process, rather than being master of one medium, subject, or style. Inspiration comes from the Thousand Islands area on the St Lawrence River where I live. Travels and museum visits also spark inspiration. In April 2009 I formed Plein Air Painters Thousand Islands Region (PAPTIR) in order to promote Plein Air Painting as well as art in general in the region. A new venture in 2012, I organized the 1st Annual Studio Tour U.S. Thousand Islands. Twenty seven artists at 21 locations participated and we are working on the 2013 tour. ...
