Bulletin, Progressive, Record, Reporter Wednesday, Oct. 26, 2011 13B ART:S and ENTERTAINhlENT Former stu,:lents create i00.ribute to P{3ters' art It now snows "in front of the trees" in Dusti Bremel's untitled watercolor and ink blizzard landscape. At Bill Peters' urging, Bremel met his challenge and her solution to the problem earned her a "you got it" from Peters. Former students and friends will exhibit their works at several Main Street venues in Quincy in tribute tO Peters during the Oct. 29 - Nov. 29 "Come Hang With Bill" show. Photo by Mona Hill Mona Hill Staff Writer mhill@plumasnews.com Dusti Bremel had never picked up a paintbrush or pencil before taking Bill Peters' art class. She only • took the class because she needed three units for her degree. "He brought forward a talent I didn't know I had," she said. "He'd show me things and I'd run with it." She illustrated her point with a story about'an assign- ment she had turned in to Peters. He gave her back the painting of trees in a snow- storm and told her to make it snow in front of the trees• At the time, she wondered how on earth to make that happen, but when she took the assignment back to him, Peters shook his head and said, "You got it." It was only later, as she browsed an art book Peters loaned her, that Bremel under- stood Peters was referring to a technique he'd talked about when she was absent from class -- Bremel had figured out a completely different technique. She said that the head- shake and the phrase "you got it" was how Peters let you know he approved. Still obviously shaken nearly a year after his deathl Bremel said she hasn't picked up a paintbrush since and she knows some of his other students are in the same situation. She added, "Of course, it's thelast thing Bill would have wanted: for him to block our art." Before his death last No- vember, Peters had invited Bremel to join him in a show• While bemoaning the fact she would never get to "hang with Bill" to a friend, the friend suggested a tribute show. Bremel took the idea to Kathy Peters, Bill's widow, who agreed. They began contacting Bill's former students: Together with Rose Harrigan and Bianca Harri- son, Bremel and Peters are gathering tributes to Bill, whether through the written word or art in any medium. • Bremel hopes the tribute will help others with their grief and demonstrate the ........ : influence Peters had in the lives of friends, family and students. The show, "Come Hang With Bill," runs Oct. 29 through Nov. 29 at several venues on Main Street in Quincy: Pangaea, Plumas County Museum, Plumas Arts, Epilog Books, Eagle's Nest, Main Street Artists Gallery and Forest Stationers. During the downtown Quincy Art Walk Nov. 4, Pangaea will host a recep- tion. No pre-registration is required. To contribute to the show, bring your exhibit to one of the venues, email tributetobiUpeters@yahoo. com or call Bremel at 283-0986, Harrigan at 283-1314 or Harr..ison.,at 2-QS, l, fi.
