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)

Having a Senior Moment!

I apologize for not posting the paintings from last Thursdays painting session.  But better late than never.

Michelle painted this field using pastels. I love the action in the grasses.
Beautiful, and moody.Wonderful job Michelle!

Michelle hard at work with Priscilla in the back working on her painting

Priscilla painted this of her friend during a Tri -Athalon using   water color. This painting shows
action. The background is wonderful. Great Job Priscilla!

Carol painted these mexican dresses using watercolor. This is a new medium
for Carol but it hasn't stopped her from producing a lively
and colorful painting. Great Carol!

Nancy painted this Teddy using oils.This painting is for
her daughter and this was her favorite toy! The coloration on the sheets is
wonderful. and the Teddy, well you just want to pick him up and hug him.
Fabulous painting, Nancy!

This is the beginning sketches of Gigi's painting. Gigi used oils
and is in the progress of painting.See the picture below.

Here you can see Gigi's photo that she is working from. I think this is going to be
a winner Gigi. Great start!

Gail painted this scene using watercolor pencils. The red
foliage adds a complimentary color to the painting and
makes it sing. Love it Gail !

Here is Gail working in watercolor pencils...having fun!

Gigi is hard at work. You can just see the concentration on her
face.

Michelle is painting with pastels. 

Priscilla prepares some boards for painting.
Smile Priscilla!
