When writing a novel, we must know our primary characters inside and out. We need to understand their desires, motivations, and frustrations, their histories and their futures. This workshop will focus on the development of authentic characters. Participants will examine character as both autonomous and residing within the context of the other novelistic elements, and we will examine the challenge of creating and integrating these various elements into a cohesive and credible whole. Participants will explore the main character(s) in their novels-in-progress. No texts required. San Diego Writers, Ink on Facebook / Instagram T. Greenwood, Author on Facebook

Reception: Saturday, Feb. 10, 4:30 p.m. – 6:30 p.m. Artist Walk-Through: Friday, Feb. 16, 3 p.m. Explore Bonita and Sweetwater Valley neighborhoods through the eyes of local artist Susan J. Osborn. Susan is a well-known artist in San Diego County known for her colorful interpretations of life. Visitors can walk along the many trails with Susan as she explores Morrison Pond, San Miguel and the topography around the valley. About “Neighborhood Impressions and Dreams” Artist Statement I have lived in Bonita for over forty years. Most of the work from 2007 to 2019 was assembled sculpture. Then came the COVID lockdown and I couldn’t get my needed art supplies from estate sales and thrift stores. At that time, I encountered the patterned paintings of Marian Estes and the architectural landscapes of Francis McCormack, finding their work inspiring. I longed to get back to painting and began working old canvases and boards I found around my house. Using photos I had taken during my daily walks, my new paintings came from impressions of those photos and the images in my mind. The work used fabric because of my love for patterns and I also added collaged magazine photos, painted paper and acrylic. Moving forward, most artwork corresponds to an area near my house, yet the latest works have a bit of fantasy such as you see in “Giraffes or “WIndy Day.” Bonita Museum and Cultural Center on Facebook / Instagram Susan J Osborn Art on Facebook
