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)

Surprise Guest



This Thursday at the Plein Air Thursday group we had a surprise guest, Barbara Mallonee. What a treat for us. She talked about her up coming projects and  her newest type of drawing....doodling. Barbara said to keep a theme in mind while you doodle. She worked on several and they are wonderful. It was so nice to see Barbara again. We hope she comes back again for another visit.
The group did some very interesting paintings this week. As you will see some are in the beginning stages and others are finished pieces...
