Quote

The way to understand art is to go and look at it. And if out of a million visitors there is even one to whom art means something, that is enough to justify museums ( Pierre Auguste Renoir)
"Art is a lifetime matter. The best any artist can do is to
accumulate all the knowledge possible of art and its principles, study
nature and practice continually." (Edgar Payne, 1883-1947)

Creativity Abounds





Michelle's peaceful garden

Plein Air Thursday group was held at the Senior Center this week. Threatening clouds remained a problem so inside we went.
Michelle Walker worked on a painting of a garden. Instead of working on the garden as a whole she chose to do a segment which made for a lovely composition. Her loose painting makes one want to wander into this peaceful garden.

Gigi MacIntosh has a unique Style that incorporates her watercolor painting with pastels. The results are a wonderful mix of media that  punches up the color. She first starts with a line drawing and then paints in the watercolor washes then lets that dry and finally goes in and paints on the pastels for a very effective coloration.

Gigi's paintings are unique as her method. Wonderful Gigi!

Last week I painted a cart full of onions that were drying in the sun and  I hadn't finished it so I am posting the finshed piece.
