Flying geese Jean Minshew looks over her oil painting of Canadian geese on wing over sea coast. Hoke artist getting results Often when folks want to do something new, trying a craft, for instance, taking that first step is the hardest. Jean Minshew admits this was very true when she began her oil painting classes about 10 years ago. "I had always wanted to paint. When I was first married 1 painted lots of paint by number pictures, but 1 always wanted to know how to take that brush and put the paint where I wanted it to be." When Sandhills offered oil painting lessons with Barbara Hiezer as instructor, Minshew still was hesitant. She felt that her lack of artisitic training might hinder her ability at the easel. Luckily, a friend convinced her to take the plunge, and they enroll ed together. After working closely with Mrs. Hiezer for about a year and a half, Minshew began to see results which really pleased both her and her instructor. Although she has never taken in structions from any other artist, Minshew is content with techin ques she learned from Hiezer. "Each person has their own technique with painting and Hoke Arts Scene By Sonya Falls everyone has a different goal in mind when they start out. I've always wanted to paint so that the result looks realistic, like a photograph, so that if you stood back from it, it looked the same as close up. Some people don't want this, but 1 do." Evidence of Minshew's talent resides in her remodeled home on College Drive. A canvas that she considers one of her very best hangs in the great room, depicting a lighthouse, Canada geese and seashore. The artist's strength at capturing shadows and creating realistic detail is obvious in this canvas. Although landscapes are han dled very well by Minshew, she oc casionally tries her hand at something original, as in her group of bumbling, colorful circus clowns which she has created for a neighbor. This artfully decorated group represents a whimsical side to Minshew's talents. Since finishing her instructions, Minshew has continuously worked on one subject or another. She recalls that Hiezer strongly sug gested this as a means of always preserving an interest in her art. She is one of the lucky few who can manage her career (hairdress ing) and her hobby at the same time. She has found the lighting in her shop on Harris Avenue to be more conductive for painting and she is able to squeeze in a few strokes between customers. Minshew's hair partons are often her painting customers also, since they are usually present when a painting is on-going. "It's hard to turn one loose when you've finished it. You've spent so much time on it," Min shew says of her commercial ef forts. But, she adds, it is rewarding to paint something someone re quests and to see their postitive response to her efforts. Hopefully in the future, Min shew will choose to exhibit her works to a wider public. Previous local art exhibits just have never been held on a suitable date for her, she explains. Assuredly her canvases would be enjoyed by all. FOOD MART HWY. 211 WEST RAEFORD, N.C. 7 OZ. BAG LG POTATO CHIPS 99' FRIDAY ONLY FISH & SHRIMP COMBINATION PLATE includM friM, slaw, huthpuppl?a W?
