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)

What's up with Thursdays???


Rain again...Wow Thursday's weather is getting very predictable....rain again. Plein Air Thursday group met at the Hammond St Senior Center today at 1pm. Thank goodness for the Senior Center.
This was a very productive day. I had a senior moment and forgot my camera but luck would have it I could use my cell phone camera. I apologize for the quality of the photos.
Michelle Walker painted this wonderful painting of Acadia, a field near the golf course that has a beauty all of its own....as you can see by Michelle's painting.Her use of color is so effective in this painting. Great job Michelle.
 Fred painted this beautiful complimentary color painting of San Miguel Allende that was exquisite. Great use of color. Fred's 2nd painting was of a bottle of wine and a glass. He painted it to looked like a wood carving, using the paper that he made the week before which lent itself  beautifully to his subject.
Gloria Painted to the piped in music and came up with a beautiful tree that was 10 times better than the photograph. The painting looked like a Monet. Can't get better than that!
Sue painted a rusty old truck stuck in the field using the paper that we made the week before. Her second painting was of  a coastal scene...no photograph just from memory and it turned out pretty good.
Great job everyone!
Keep painting.
