Here is a collection of eclectic and colorful examples of the talent of the Broomfield Art Guild members. We use quite a range of materials and techniques to achieve our works of art — from traditional oil to scratchboard, where the art is meticulously scratched into black wax to expose the white surface beneath using an X-acto knife, and all media in between. The Art Guild meets the second Tuesday of each month at 1 p.m. at the Broomfield Presbyterian Church, 350 Main St., Broomfield.

My first byline was in the works for the Independent Florida Alligator, an off-campus news publication in Gainesville, Fla. It was a simple story. AmeriCorps was hosting an event and I was to spread the word. I met with a spokesperson for all the juicy details and quotes I could spin into a published story. He was not a nice man. “Why are you writing with a pencil?”“I don’t know. I write faster with pencils.”“That’s dumb. What if you smudge the entire interview?” he asked.

The Broomfield Art Guild presents several new paintings this month by different artists. The styles and mediums range from watercolor, acrylic and oil to fluid acrylic (where the paint is poured on to canvas and then tilted, spun, or otherwise manipulated) to abstract, mixed media and scratchboard — creating images by literally scratching away the black paint coating with an X-acto knife to expose the underlying white surface.
