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)

Spring brings a surprise

The weather is cool and the trees are starting to leaf and the flowers are pushing up out of the ground, spring is here. Spring fever was definitely felt in the painting session today. Before you view the wonderful art that was produced today, I want to tell you that Barbara Mallonee is now a member of our group and will be coming to paint with us. Welcome, Barbara!

Rita painted this scene using pastels. She eliminated the tree on the left side
for composition reasons. It is a beautiful piece.

Nancy did these drawings to help her figure out her next painting.
I thin the group voted for the one on the right. Can't wait to see this one.

This is her first experience using Yupo and she did a great job.
