I (Sue) did a small presentation on Vincent Van Gogh and his paining "Starry Night". We then sketched from one of our own photos using his style of short strokes to show motion. The letter to his brother Theo was a glimpse into Vincent's personal life. Didn't you love the sketches he did in the margins of the note.VeryInteresting if I say so myself!
Gail stopped by to visit but could not stay. We missed Sheila, Gigi and Rita this week and hopefully they will be back next week.
The whole group was in a very productive mood and brought their "A"game. See the postings below.

Watercolor painting by Carol Brooks for the Christmas Art/card Swap. Priscilla was the lucky recipient |
 |
| Fred painted this pastel in the style of Vincent Van Gogh and he did it in 5 minutes! Beautiful Fred! |
 |
| Fred painted this as an experiment and was very unhappy with it I recovered it from the trash. I thought the subtle tones would be perfect underpainting. |
 |
| This is Fred laughing a me! |
 |
| Priscilla painted this beautiful abstract ( acrylic)of a canoe on the banks of a river. Love this one Priscilla |
 |
| This is Carol's oil painting of the Cranberry Island General Store. She is almost finished ...just wants to add a bike near by and finish the sign. This paining is just so expressive. |
 |
| Carol is painting this scene of some flowers on a plant bench..oil .painting is in progress. You've got a great start Carol. |
 |
| Liz painted this intimate scene of a Mexican veranda that comes alive with those wonderful umbrella. This acrylic is in progress Liz, I know this is going to be fantastic. |
 |
| Nancy painted this oil a few years back and decided to finish it The colors are so soft and the shadows are mysterious that they draw the viewer into this beautiful still life. Can't wait to see this one finished. |
 |
| Nancy finished this oil painting of this early morning scene...the smoke off the water as the sun peeks over the horizon. This is so beautifully painted with the reflections invite the viewer to look just a little further into this serene scene. |
 |
| Gloria began this oil painting of an old fallen down house and she wiped off some of the paint only to discover that the wiping made the right front look like a cliff...will she leave it this way or paint over it?? We'll see next week. Great start Gloria! |
 |
| Terri painted this scene in Acrylic, This is a lovely composition and and an interesting subject. The subtle tones of the water and the sheep are in contrast to the person watching. Fabulous job Terri |
 |
| This is a quick sketch by Terri, using Van Gogh's style to give motion and interest to the scene. Van Gogh would be proud! |
 |
| Charlene painted this oil paining using just two tones. I love this interest in the foreground and subtleness of the light vs. darks Very interesting! |
 |
| This is Charlene's sketch of the painting she is doing. |
 |
| This is the actual photograph of the paining, I like your paining better than the photo, Charlene! |
 |
| Liz, Terri, Gloria, Priscilla and Charlene watch during critique. |
 |
| Carol and Gloria....look up Carol! |
 |
| I (Sue) painted this scene of Nanana off the coast of Monhegan Island at sunset. This is a 6 X 6 oil paining and now would like to paint this in a larger size |
 |
| I (Sue) painted this in oil and wanted to use a different style. I thought outlining the rocks brought them forward and made for an interesting effect. |
 |
| I (Sue) painted this oil on a 6 X 6 canvas. The painting is in progress |
 |
| This is my (Sue) attempt to finish a painting I started in the fall. I think I need to do some more work on it. |
 |
| This is an oil painting I (Sue) completed of Stonnington Harbor. |
