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)

PATs paint up in the Garage

Plein Air Thursday group painted up on top floor of the parking garage. There were severe thunder storms predicted for the afternoon so instead of the Sea Dog we headed to the undercover of the parking garage. As it turned we ended up going back to the Senior Center for Critique because of the dark skies.
The view from the garage was wonderful. You could see all over Bangor and there were lots of things to paint.
Here are the pics:
Rita and Gloria find a unique seat with a great view

Priscilla painted the Railroad trestle

Gloria paints the same RR trestle in pastel
