Joan Moore has paint brush in hand

ißy MARY JANE LORTON Staff Writer Three miles south of North Webster an artist is at work. It has been an on again off again relationship with this ergative pastime, but Joan Moore’s desire to paint has outlived the years of not painting and she is back in front of the easel-. "I have been interested in it (painting) since grade school." explains Joan, "and I couldn't get it out of my system I guess. " Profile Joan traces her interest in art back to her schovl days. As a grade school student. Joan says she enjoyed spending time sketching and drawing different things. As she grew older Joan's interest became more defined and she says in high school, "I really liked designing and I majored in art in high school." Following this period. Joan lost touch with art for a number of years. Her desire to paint was rekindled when her oldest son started oil painting in high school. "I started by taking a painting course and I really liked it,” Joan tells. She once again put her brushes and easel aside after the birth of her twin daughters. "They got into it (the paints >. so I had to put them up,” Joan explains. “I started in again about five years ago,” Joan says smilingly. Landscapes and flowers were the first subject matters to make their way to the canvas. "Those (landscape and flowers) are still things I enjoy painting,” she tells. She creates her paintings from look-

Landscapes and flowers were Joan’s first subjects and she still loves to paint similar scenes.

ing at photos, “we take photos anywhere we go,” she adds. But Joan also paints from memory and imagination. Joan has shared her work at area exhibits and showings. From the county fair to the exhibits of the Lakeland Art Association, Joan has shown her work wherever and whenever possible. Her most recent exhibit was a six-week stint at the Bowen Center in Warsaw. Although Joan admits that it is hard parting with her work, she does sell her paintings realizing she “has to let them go.” Joan recommends painting to those who are seeking creative ways to relax. “There is not anything you can do that relieves stress more than painting,” she notes. “Anyone can paint,” she adds. “It’s just having the time to do it.” Having the time is not always easy as witnessed by this mother of four and part-time worker at her beauty salon in the ground floor of her home. But Joan laughs, “I do it anyway, even though I really don’t have time to.” Joan’s Beauty Shop has been around for 25 years. Although it is still operating it is slowly making a transformation into a little art gallery. Paintings are slowly covering the walls and art supplies have made their way into the corners and on the cupboards. Also, currently, a group of artists come together at the shop once a week to paint. One of the projects now taking Joan’s attention is planning for a 1990 calendar with the Lakeland Art Association. The calendar, which, is coming out in December, will feature pen and ink sketchings of historical places in Kosciusko County. Different area artists are submitting sketches for the calendar. Joan has submitted a sketch of the old Boydston Mill in North Webster. Os the sketch, Joan says she was lucky in that someone gave her a snapshot of the old mill to work with. Trying to find words to describe her interest in painting Joan says, "It is something that I have kind of grown into more than a hobby.” And to the delight of area art lovers it is likely that it is something she will not grow out of.
