Alliance For The Arts Transcendental: David Acevedo – Artist Exhibit June 7 to June 29, Opening Reception: June 7, 5 to 7 p.m. This event is free and open to the public. David Acevedo seeks to create a fantasy landscape where his memories and history can live in peace. The color palette he uses varies from time to time because of the ever-changing mind that dictates it. Never one to follow recipes, Acevedo creates his own mixture of mediums until he feels content. The materials Acevedo uses to create his paintings are usually photographs, magazine cut-outs, acrylic paints, gesso, inks, pencils, dry and oil pastels, oils, enamels, colored markers and pens; applied to cotton rag paper or stretched canvas. A particular painting of his could have all of these mediums or as little as one. His pictorial work is recognizable by the bold colors, textures and compositions. A notable part of his work is the hidden message or symbols in the work, drawing the viewer into each piece and creating intrigue.

Security Central Submitted by Connie Hope Just to remember that the roads in our community are very narrow. When you are driving you need to make sure you drive slow and are very careful. It is difficult when there are bike riders, people walking their dog and people just walking. The speed limit in the community is 25 miles per hour. Drive slow!
