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)

Party Time!


 The Plein Air Thursday group had a wonderful Christmas party. We had lots of goodies (we can cook too!)
It was so good to see everyone again after a couple weeks off.  So needless to say it took us awhile to settle down. We had our card swap and what fun we had. Each of us opened and tried to guess who's art work we had. Some of us were better at guessing that others.  Everyone went home with an original piece of art. I managed to take pictures of everyone's art.
