created from a photograph.
live models, she says painting from
the photos is still good experience.
"I can work at my own pace with-
out the subject getting bored," she
said.
Jeromkin also finds that photo-
graphs tend to catch candid mo-
ments better than if you tried to get
people to pose.
"It's easier to paint from a photo
of an outing to a zoo, beach activi-
ties, children playing and families
socializing together, than to try and
have the people pose," she said.
• Although she has never had a
showing of her art, Jeromkin is
working towards this goal. "I need
to gather about 30 pieces first," she
said.
This could take a bit of time since
Jeromkin is also in the midst of de-
velopine other projects retateri In
painting.
"As a group we would like to see
a gallery in Grand Bend," she said
of her artistic friends. "I would real-
ly like to see the art community
come together."
She said they would like to incor-
porate art showings with other
events going on in Grand Bend such
as the Winter Carnival.
"Art is something that everyone
can enjoy regardless of age," she
said. "There are a lot of young peo-
ple here that would enjoy it."
As well, she is trying has been ap-
proached to help set up an art pro-
gram at a teen centre in Strathroy.
"Y,gttng people need some kind of
creative outlet. I think it's an excel-
lent idea," she said.
Jeromkin said she is confident she
will be able to focus on all these
goals. And she attributes her suc-
cess so far to Richman.
"The most important thing I
learned from Barry was to have con-
fidence and not be afraid of making
mistakes."

Some business ideas come naturally
By Catherine O'Brien
T -A staff
GRAND BEND - Sometimes the
best business opportunities are right
at your fingertips. That's what Te-
resa Jeromkin found out four years
ago. It was at this time that she be-
gan drawing again. It was also the
first time she tried her hand at
painting.
And it all happened by chance.
Jeromkin was at a social gather-
ing where she met up with local art-
ist Barry Richman. Eventually her-
self and five others began taking art
classes with him.
"He taught us about light and col -
cur, and we jumped right in to
painting," she said. "The classes
were only suppose to last for 12
weeks."
But she continued to use his stu-
dio to work on paintings. It's been
more than three years.
Now herself and fellow artists
Klass Verboon, Kerry Cornell,
along with Richman gather every
Wednesday evening for a session,
not to mention the occasional Sat-
urday meetings. "We give each
other encouragement and a boost,"
she said.
Jeromkin spends a lot of waking
hours painting just to keep up with
demand. Since getting back into
the swing of things she has done
more than 25 paintings.
Of those she has donated three
paintings to Mount Carmel School.
Two were for fundraising efforts
and the third was for the school to
keep. As well she will be donating
a painting this year to Friedsburg
Days organizers so they can raise
funds for baseball.
"At this point I'm still giving
away a lot of my work to family
and friends," she said. "But in a
few years I'd like to be doing this
full time."
People are attracted to her work
because she performs what many
might consider tiny miracles.
Jeromkin can take a number of
photographs and combine parts
from each into one large painting.
"Some people don't have family
portraits, so they give me several
photos to piece together," she raid.
This technique is not new to
painters, it's just a matter of person-
al style.
She describes her painting style
as relaxed with a feeling of inno-
cence.
"I have to be able to see and feel
what 1 paint," she said.
Although Jeromkin ' now work-
ing on doing more aintings with
Waterfront
Tots proposed
GRAND BEND - Want a
house with a view?
Well Dick Manore may just
have one for you.
Owner of Manore Marine in
Grand Bend, he told council
Monday night of his proposal to
build nine single-family dwell-
ings adjacent to the water on
Sauble Road.
Doug Culbert who represent-
ed Manore said the Ausable
Bayfield Conservation Authori-
ty has already been contacted
and they have some concerns re-
garding the environment.
"We are prepared to meet with
Ausable Bayfield and meet their
concerns," said Culbert.
Councillor Phil Maguire
asked what kind of shoreline
protection would take place. He
was told there would be some
kind of protection.
"I think the environmental
concerns have to be addressed.
It would require rezoning," said
Ann Marie Howard- of the
Lambton County Planning De-
partment.
