    Verde Valley News – The El Valle Art Association’s Artist of the Month is Rita Bingham.

    Welcome to my healing journey.

    A native of Oregon, I love being outdoors, especially with my family of 5 children and 14 grandchildren, and my amazingly patient husband. I also love painting. While living in Arizona and in the Pacific Northwest, I found the best of both worlds – incredible outdoor beauty and amazing artists who taught watercolor classes using brilliant colors to create stunning paintings with impressive contrasts. This connection to colors and the energy they provide literally saved my life and changed the way I view the world.

    I find that emotion plays a very important part in creating an inspiring painting, so I am now painting subjects that project a sense of peace and serenity…people, landscapes, flowers, roosters, and Arizona desert scenes. I especially admire the tenacity of the plants that thrive in the high desert temperatures and inconsistent moisture. They provide an important life lesson for me …to remember to “Keep Hanging On”!

    I am a member of the El Valle Art Association (EVAA), and the Northern Arizona Watercolor Society (NAWS). My watercolor paintings have been in numerous shows in 4 states and have won awards in several categories. They are in collections across the United States.

    During my healing process, I literally developed “a passion for color” and love to share that newfound passion and creativity with others through shows, in galleries, and using social media. I hope that my Passion For Color paintings will touch your heart and soul as they have mine.

    If I Were Curtis Sliwa
    By Tommy Acosta

    One of my guilty little pleasures is imagining what I would do if I was in someone else’s shoes, especially politicians. In this essay I would love to jump into the shoes of Curtis Sliwa, a former New York City vigilante who founded the Guardian Angels and is now running as a Republican for mayor of his city.
