FALLBROOK – The Fallbrook Art Association welcomes artist Terry Chacon to their general meeting Saturday, Nov. 19, for a painting demonstration and workshop. Chacon is from Redlands and is an international award-winning artist. His artwork is in private collections in over 20 countries. She continues to sculpt in ceramic and bronze, designs jewelry in precious metal and paints commission pet portraits in her studio.

Using her skills as an outdoor painter and studying the landscape on location, Chacon created many dog show scenes, some of which have been exhibited at the AKC Museum of the Dog in St. Louis. She works in oil and acrylic often using palette knife techniques, which she will demonstrate doing a still life painting, Nov. 19, and include color and composition techniques in the workshop on the same day. Oil, acrylic and watercolor painters are welcome. To view her work, visit http://www.Terrydchacon.com.
