Memories of Zephyr Point: Jewel of the mountains
Lake Tahoe is considered one of California and Nevada's most beautiful natural wonders with it's blue-green and pristine pure waters. Zephyr Point Presbyterian Conference Center is the jewel setting on the shores of the lake. Many Members of CPC and others throughout the country have enjoyed exhilarating, educational, spiritual, thoughtful and fun times at Zephyr Point since its inception in 1925. Zephyr Point now has two large and two smaller lodges where groups can gather for meaningful and fun times. Some of our members have created or recorded memorable items or pictures to help us remember and share those good times. Below are some examples of the art work.

September-October Art Exhibit
The Light of a New Season
The featured artist for these two months is Ann Kerr. Ann is one of Carmichael’s own. Her parents, the Leverings, have been long time members of CPC, as are their children and grandchildren. Ann shared a number of her paintings with the church several years ago, and returns during the months of September and October with a new collection. Her exhibit, “The Light of a New Season,” is a collection of plein-air multimedia paintings in watercolor and cran d’arche crayons that capture changing lights and shadows in scenes of nature, season by season. Ann included some examples of this type of painting in her previous show, but this exhibit will focus on the use of this unusual medium. Her style is very reminiscent of the impressionists. Examples of Ann's art are shown below.

July - August Art Exhibit
A Celebration of Family: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow
The July & August exhibit features the artwork
of three generations of five related families. Starting with the "elderly" Darrell & Mary
Torgerson (Grams & Gramps) and including the grandchildren,
they all have been encouraged to try their hands at art.
The concept is that "every child is an artist just waiting to be encouraged." If
you cannot draw straight lines, then draw beautiful curvy lines, then learn
from someone who can teach you to draw straight lines. Unlike the usual
art exhibit, this one involves the work of 16 individuals ranging in age
from eight to 72. Each piece brought pleasure to the "artist" as
he or she tried to solve an artistic problem, whether depicting lines, shadows,
form, object or color.
Some examples are shown below.

January-February Exhibit - Eyes of Hope
For the art exhibit for January
and February, Karen Banker shares with us her observations of culture
she has met in her travels throughout the world. Karen says, "I
want to share what I find to be common throughout my travels: HOPE
IN THE EYES OF THE CHILDREN -- no matter how dire their living
situation. I feel these children have so much potential that
is hungry to be developed. It is my hope to create interest in
networking resources with others who also see the hope in their
eyes. I have found that a small amount of money can make a huge
difference in the lives of these children; particularly in helping
them pursue their education."
You may see the entire collection in the Gathering
Place on Sundays or visit with Karen on the Second Saturday reception on January
12 from 4:00 to 6:00. Below are some examples of her photography
