Marty West represented the Club at a recent Boardmeeting of the Detroit Association of the University ofMichigan Women, sharing the Club's mission andpromoting use of our wonderful facilities.

Many thanks to John Lopez and the crew at Union Streetfor their long-term support of The Scarab Club.

The Wayne State University Alumni Association hasrecently published 10,000 copies in full color of BillBostick's watercolor, Old Main-Wayne State University.The original painting is in the permanent collection of theUniversity.

The painting was originally reproduced in a large size forthe poster of the Michigan Water Color Society when ithad its annual exhibition in 1982 in the WSU galleries.The poster was re-published as a print without thelettering and two editions were sold out. The presentedition is in a 16" X 20" format which fits a standardpicture frame. The Alumni Association intends to use itas a premium for WSU graduates who join. Copies maybe ordered for $5 each from La Stampa Calligrafica.Just use the coupon from the ad in this issue of theScarab Buzz.

Many Scarabs may not know that back in 1946 when theMichigan Water Color Society was being born, a numberof the planning meetings were held at The Scarab Cluband others took place in Bill Bostick's office at the DetroitInstitute of Arts. Of the ten founding members of theSociety, three were Scarab members-Ernest Scanes,Nelson Welch and William A. Bostick. The Society nowhas 482 members and is sponsoring its 48th AnnualExhibition at the Birmingham Bloomfield Art Associationfrom June 12 through July 1.

The Scarab Club will be well represented at the 50thanniversary of the landings in Normandy on June 6,1994. Bill Bostick and his wife Mary Jane plan to attendalong with thousands of other veterans of the landingswhich are reputed to be the biggest amphibious landingever launched and perhaps the biggest battle of all time.

More in the next issue of the Buzz...

Missed...John R. F. Ingall. You are remembered bymany.

This is the story about four people named Everybody,Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody.

There was an important job to be done and everybodywas sure that somebody would do it.

Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.Somebody got angry because it was Everybody's job.Everybody thought Anybody could do it.

It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody andNobody did what Anybody could have done.

Outsider Art

OUTsider art is IN these days,its simplicity and honesty receive much praise.For those who cannot appreciate its grace,too many confining rules long ago took its place.

The exuberance of a child's voice,is the outsider artist's inner choice;its guiding light can be seen in your heart,only when you let those confining rules fall apart.

Bright color, light emotion are let free,when the spirit learns the way to see,creating is a joy for all to share,especially those who have enough of this light to spare.

-Sheila Barrea, 1994

Our Garden

Nothing is more completely the child of art than agarden." -Sir Walter Scott

And we do have a garden, a very special garden. Idoubt there is another walled garden of this proportion inthe City of Detroit~or in many other places. The wall isseven feet high and a hundred fifty two feet around.Nowadays a five foot high wall costs $1,000 a foot, sowe are talking big money.

People seldom think of gardens as rooms but they reallyare, if walled in and using the sky as their ceiling. Andwhat a ceiling that is! Ever changing, appealing to everyaesthetic need or taste, nourishing the plants with lightand moisture, changing from dawn to dusk like a cosmiclight show.

It can and will become a great financial asset to ourClub. Its potential is nearly boundless. Weddings,receptions, luncheons, dinners, musicales, you name it.We could become known for real English 4 o'clock teas,Sunday brunches, and so on, not to mention our ownClub garden party and cookouts.

I am sure each of you can think of many moreopportunities to use our garden-for sketch classes, forsessions of the Photographic Club. We are going tohave some lovely subjects for you to paint or photograph(no model fees and please don't pick the models.) Andbreathing models wouldn't look so bad, either, amongthe flora.

When the garden is all a-bloom (about July) we shouldhave a "Come Down and Paint the Garden" Art Showwith drinks and cute little things to eat and "strollingremarks." (If you don't know what they are, come andfind out.)

We would also like sculptor-members to exhibit theirwork in the garden-for sale and, of course, on semi-permanent loan.

Florence Maiullo Barnes has graciously accepted ourinvitation to be Honorary Chair. Where, no one knows,could we find a more knowledgeable garden expert thanFlorence? Thank you so much!

Now I must answer a question many have been asking:"Oh, you aren't taking out the ivy and the lovely lilies ofthe valley, are you?" Beautiful as they are in their ownright, they have taken over to the extent of pushing outall else, and their root systems are almost impossible toremove.

The entire southwest corner must be taken out and topsoil filled in to receive the rhododendrons and azaleas.The shaded east side is completely overrun with ivy.Thanks to our resident Paul Bunyan, Al Gutierrez, threetrees that had grown from saplings into large trees havebeen removed. One was causing a severe split in thewall, and two in the northwest corner would soon havecaused more structural damage.

Rosemary Bay, my co-chair, has a garden in GrossePointe that was on the Herb Society of America'sGarden Tour last year. Seeing it, how I wished for avideo camera to document that beauty that can becreated by a truly gifted gardener. With the advice andassistance of similarly resourceful members, our garden,too, can become a "must" stop on future garden tours.

SPOTLIGHT: Mildred Thibodeaux,Quilter/Fiber Artist: A Reluctant Joiner

I've just never joined things-maybe because of how Icame up in the deep Southwest. My Oakwood, Texashome is in a sparsely settled, unspoiled region where formany generations my family tilled and timbered our land.It is a spacious environment of many colors accented bybrilliant sunlight. Isolation and solitude are as natural asthe landscape.

A 150 year tradition of quilting existed in my familybefore I was born, an off-spring of Africans, NativeAmericans and the Irish Haily family, which allowed us tomore easily own land. I learned to quilt from my mother,lona Newsome, and my Aunt Ida Mae. They weretaught by their mother. Much to my satisfaction,occasionally some people say that my cultural originsare reflected through my work or that a particular quilthas a mystical quality.

I've remained committed to using the structure of thetraditional hand sewn quilt, hoping to create meaningwithin its lines and spaces. The potential of the quiltseems endless in its capacity to show light, color andsocial significance. The possibilities are awesome.

In the first seven years of seriously trying to refine mywork, I began to desire to have my first major show. Itcame in 1987 at the George N'Namde Gallery. Standardquilts with simple provincial themes were featured-brightcolored Texas wild flowers were prominent. Judy Rosefavorably reviewed the show in the Detroit Free Press.

My most recent showing was in December, 1993 atUrban Park-Detroit Art Center in Trapper's Alley. It wasa fund-raiser for REACT with Love, Inc. (ResourceEndowment Aiding Children Together), a charity devotedto providing services to mothers and children with AIDSfounded by Wayne County Clerk Teola P. Hunter. Animpressive poster was developed for the exhibition byKevin Sykes which was printed by Ghetto Press

In this show, the earliest dated works employed the useof hand-dyed African fabric and other symbol forms. Thequilts made later were composed of geometric designsemphasizing special relationships and attempts atimparting the perception of light and motion.

I hope to show new work at The Scarab Club thisSummer. I'm very excited about the direction my workhas taken in the last year.

Although my childhood prevented me from beinginvolved in activities with a lot of people, today I'vebegun to genuinely enjoy the stimulation and fellowshipof the art community. Now, fledgling enterprises plusrelations with other artists span locations ranging fromHawaii throughout the United States. Without hesitationI joined the National Conference of Artists in Februaryand The Scarab Club in March. Marty West, the Club'sExecutive Director, has suggested joining a committeeand I am going to!

Painters Beauty(Apologies to Gerard Manley Hopkins)

Glory to God for Motley things-To fence posts falling down, moss on rottingtree trunks; old barns in a summer haze, rockstumbled upon a shore, rusting tractors inabandoned fields, broken windows, gates akimbo,peeling paint; mottled, crumbled, splattered, drips.All the beauties of nature to catchthe painters eye.

-submitted by Steve Veresh

St. Patrick's Party

The great efforts of the food staff, musicians, plannersand decorators were not in vain-Ed Foster and JoeManiscalco were singing in their pseudo-Italian to theIrish music, Irish jokes were constant, folks were ingreen, and a good time was had by all.

To any of you Scarabs who missed out on this event-please try harder to join us next year-better yet,volunteer and help out. We have FUN. Lots of it.Really.

Picture this: Vince O and Richard Adler on sax, MartiThraten on ukulele & bongos-all accompanied by singerGeraldine Stevens. What an evening!

-Caroline Foster

comments fromHow to Become a Famous Artist: The Pigeon Papersby W. Joe Innis (Eakin Press)

If you look at paintings long enough, you will learn tosee. The condition is irreversible.

I don't like to be told what I am looking at. I don't liketitles that describe how deep and sensitive the artist isand how I should feel about what he or she has done.An artist who begins with a painting ought to end with it.All talk about it is rot.

It doesn't make a damn what you paint. How you paintdoes.

A good painting will speak to you if you care to listen, butdon't be embarrassed if the language is intimate; awhispered exchange between the one who paints it andthe one who sees it.

REPORT: Arts & Exhibition Committee

I know we all appreciate the high quality shows that areexhibited throughout the year in both the Gallery and theLounge. These shows are not by happenstance. Theyare the workings of the Arts & Exhibition Committee.Under the strong leadership of Johanna Bielecki, the"A&E1 may very well be the most vibrant of all the Club'scommittees.

Working as far as two years ahead, the arts Committeedevelops and sets the calendar of events that are shownin the Gallery and the Lounge. Once a show is selected,the Committee sets the dates of the shows, arrangescall-for-entries, monetary awards, installation and de-installation of the works, as well as arranging for thejurors. Al of this makes for a great working committee.

Supporting Johanna Bielecki are committee membersGreg Aylesworth, Barbara Carr, Frank Dulin, PaulineEnder, Rachael Harla, Ann Hildebrandt, Gene Ignasiak,Lynne Lawerence, Vince Orbaczewski, Roy Pauli, DonSchneider, John Tabb, Steve Veresh, and ExecutiveDirector Marty West.

The committee meets at 6:30 p.m. on the first Thursdayafter the first Saturday of the month. Feel free to join us!

-Gene Ignasiak

Tabb Talk:The Gray Matter Memory Bank Takes Over

I had a surprising and eye-opening experience oneafternoon in 1951. Koch and I were visiting the KenGores in East Gloucester, Massachusetts, an arearenowned for its genre art of sea, fishing boats andharbor scenes. Ken and I, searching for a paintablesubject, walked out on a long, shed-covered fishing pier,heading for a vantage point at the very end that affordeda view of the entire harbor. Suddenly I stopped in mytracks-there was the perfect subject! No reason to lookfurther.

Framed by a wide door in the side of the shed was apageant of color, action, shapes and textures of everydescription. The entire fishing fleet was in for the annualSt. Peter's Festival. The boats were freshly painted,festooned with flags and all manner of decoration. It wasan almost overwhelming sight, but I decided to take acrack at it.

After setting up easel, paper and paints I sat there justlooking, absorbing the scene. Everything seemed to bein motion. Flags were flapping, boats were moving upand down the swells, seagulls were swooping in and outof rigging and around nets hung up to dry.

I finally got to work, blocking in with a big wash brushand my trusty old Number 12 red sable. Carried alongby the exciting images in my head, I really started"juicing," with strokes and slashes, a sweeping dry-brushto capture the texture of the hanging nets. I tried to paintthe sounds of screaming gulls, the creak of rigging, thegentle lap-lap of waves on the piling beneath the pier. Itwas an experience I will never forget. At last, exhausted,I sat back to study the painting. It was done.

I looked out of the shed to make a final check of thescene-but my scene was gone! Only the tops of mastswere visible. While I had been concentrating the tidehad ebbed, lowering the boats and most everythingbelow my line of sight.

Then I realized that I had painted entirely from memory,from images impressed upon my receptive mind before Ieven picked up a brush!

Reflections on the Silver Medal ExhibitionorLife is Competition

It all starts with competition: the strongest sperm lightsthe oven. It progresses to who can jump the highest, runthe fastest and/or spell the best. Some competitions aresettled by objective criteria using a click, points or par.In other situations, typically the aesthetic, the decision asto which are best becomes increasingly subjective. Iceskating contests are judged on both points and style.Who wins in a beauty contest is even more subjective.And then we come to art exhibitions! Five sets ofestablished, "competent" judges can and often will comeup with five different slates of winners.

There is no par, there are no rules nor set guidelines thatjudges of art exhibitions can use in making theirselections. Entrants should know that they aredependent upon the likes and dislikes, the taste, theexperience (and ideology) of the judges. It is impossibleto select jurors who will satisfy everyone. The standardof technical proficiency can be outweighed byromanticism and emotionalism, or vice versa.

So what is the aspiring artist to do? If you make asincere, honest effort, that achievement, whatever else,is its own reward. And there's always next time. AsShakespeare wrote long ago, "to thine own self be true."Continue to paint, improve, compete. Then hopefully theday will come when-who do you think wins First Prize?YOU, of course!

--John Tabb
