Art group hosts local artist
The Saratoga Contemporary Artists invites all interested members of the community to attend its Oct. 11 meeting, at which time award-winning artist Mary Bielinski Wyatt will give a demonstration on watercolor, her favorite medium. Wyatt, who teaches at West Valley and Mission Colleges, has traveled extensively for subject matter. Among her favorite locales are the California coast, Yosemite, Hawaii and old missions. She is known for her motto: "never stop learning."
The meeting takes place at the Saratoga Library, 13650 Saratoga Ave., and is free of charge. Refreshments will be served. The SCA is a community organization that promotes the arts and lets artists of different levels and styles socialize, network, review each others' works and occasionally paint together.
