PWAS Meeting Mon Sept 22 in Lake Ridge
Our Prince William Art Society monthly meeting is always on the 4th Monday of the month and most typically held at the Tall Oaks Community Building on the corner of Hedges Run and Cotton Mill Drive in Lake Ridge / Woodbridge, VA. The meetings often have a guest speaker giving a demo or program about various art topics, or meeting can be fun show and tells, art projects, or almost any thing else. I like to say, if you miss a meeting, you miss a lot!
PWAS Members - Exciting meeting planned!
Please join your fellow artists
for the PWAS monthly meeting at the Tall Oaks Community Center at 7:30pm on
Monday, September 22nd. Our special guest artist will be Mike Flynn, an
accomplished local artist and instructor. As usual, our meeting will
feature a presentation, followed by networking time and a business
meeting. We hope you will attend to stay informed about upcoming events
and shows. Our meetings are open to all, so bring a friend.
Mike Flynn
Originally from central New York, he graduated from Loyola College in Montreal, Quebec. In 1972, he moved to the Washington, DC area, and completed a 28-year career in federal law enforcement. Mike discovered watercolor in 1997, after taking some evening classes from a local artist. Over 25 years, he has developed his watercolor skills and juried into many exhibits and shows in the mid-Atlantic region. Among his exhibits are the spring and fall Art at the Mill juried exhibit, Millwood, VA where he has participated since 2013, and a solo exhibit at Westminster Canterbury in Winchester VA.
Mike has expanded his learning with oil painting and mixed media, using wet and dry artists tools. Mike operated an artist cooperative gallery, called ArtBeat, in Manassas for 13 years, until 2017. He has taught many local workshops and currently teaches watercolor classes at the ARTfactory, in historic downtown Manassas, VA. He has a membership at the Loft Gallery, Occoquan, VA, and the Virginia Watercolor Society.
Several examples of Mike's work are below. Additional examples and information can be found on his website at http://www.mikeflynnartist.com
