Rain again on Thursday! We do need the rain however it seems that it always rains on Thursday making it impossible to paint Plein Air with pastels. So we were back in the Senior Center to paint.
With every one's busy summer schedules attendance has been sporadic however there are always a few that come and paint on Thursday.
This week Michelle and Gloria were very creative and painted some great paintings....they are getting really good.
Gloria finished a painting she started on our trip to Corea. It is a Maine scene that captures the working waterfront of Corea. She used color to make here statement effectively. Lopsided buildings make for a realistic painting of a working waterfront. Great job Gloria!

Michelle was very busy painting. Her painting of an Amaryllis with soft colors is very effective.

Michelle's Garden is another painting that reflects color and value changes. She masterly uses the pastel to convey the cosy feeling of this garden.

Michelle's final piece is a study in color and value. I think you'll agree that it is very effective.

I worked on a paining of Lisa's Garden. The Lisa that lives in Orono that was so great to let us paint her masterpiece. I had taken photos and selected one of a cart filled with onions drying in the sun. It is partially finished as you can see I still have to paint the background.
