Dear Rotarians,
Hope everyone is doing well this week and a quick reminder that we are dark this week. There is a board meeting but no club meeting. We resume at the club on the 31st for Rick Mendoza on The Rotary Foundation.
Some club and district news this week below. But, first, our Richard Humphrey highlight.
Richard Humphrey
Sadly, I missed the Craft Talk, but that left me the opportunity to do some research I'd like to share, even if you're getting some of it again!
Rick Humphrey began painting en plein air in 1985. Since that time he primarily focused on the Palos Verdes Peninsula where he grew up. In 1997 he organized the first art exhibition and sale to benefit The Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy featuring artists from the newly formed Portuguese Bend Artist Colony. Since that time, their annual exhibition has grossed almost one-half million dollars raising a significant amount of money for the conservancy. His work has been exhibited in the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles, The Bowers Cultural Museum of Santa Ana, The Pasadena Museum of Art, The Carnegie Art Museum, the State Capital Building of Sacramento, The Autry Museum of the American West, The Irvine Museum, and The Bennington Art Museum in Vermont. Very impressive, Rick!
I'd go on to list awards but we're out of room!
