Star Harbor Water Color Society to stage annual 'For the Love of Art Show and Sale'

Celebrating a decade of “prancing” may seem strange, but not to the members of Star Harbor Watercolor Society.

The local artists embrace nationally acclaimed artist Doug Mays’s statement, “Where oils lumber…watercolors prance.” Organized ten years ago, this group never dreamed their society would be known in the North Texas art scene, or that members would win awards for their artwork and representation in prestigious juried art exhibitions.

That's what they call "prancing."

Sunday, February 15th, marks the society’s annual “For the Love of Art Show and Sale.” The exhibition features a unique variety of artistic style, color, subject matter, and technique — all in original watercolor artwork. Artists will be present to meet those who attend the show.

This is a free admission event complete with delicious refreshments held from 1-5 p.m. at the City Hall Building, 99 Sunset Blvd., Star Harbor, TX 75148. For additional information, call 903.451.4016 or visit the society’s website at www.starharborws.org.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Apr. 24)

EXCELLENT. Slightly stained; 70 degrees; 0.40 feet above pool. Hybrid striped bass and white bass have made a full recovery from the spawn and are now back in the main lake in droves and are on a feeding frenzy. Look for heavy bird activity throughout the lake on flats and near the dam on edges of drop offs especially on cloudy and overcast days. The Hybrids and Whitebass have started schooling in water from 6-14 feet at the dam and any wind blown shallow point or seawall. Late evening schooling action is also happening in shallow coves and points throughout the lake. Reports of great catches using silver or white slabs and spinnerbaits and retrieving off the bottom at a very slow retrieve to catch these fish in depths of 8-16 feet of water. The crappie have also migrated back into the main lake. Look for them under bridge pylons or under docks where the depths are between 3-10 feet. Guides have been reporting exceptionally nice catches on sunny warmer days. Report by Brent Herbeck, Herbeck’s Lonestar Fishing Guide Service.
