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)

Out and about in Bangor

The Plein Air Thursday group painted outside since the weather cooperated. It was a beautiful sunny day, just perfect for painting. Here is the results of our delightful afternoon.
Terri sketching some flowers

Michelle, Charlene and Priscilla working on their sketches.

Such a beautiful day!

Sue's underpainting of downtown Bangor- work in progress

Michelle sketched some leaf patterns.

Michelle drew this tree with lots of values. Wonderful
sketch, Michelle


Terri's sketch of flowers.. Good composition, Terri.


Terri sketched some buildings hidden behind trees. The
composition is balanced and interesting. This
would make a great painting, Terri.

Charlene sketched these buildings in Bangor and added
some pastels. This made for an interesting composition
and value change.

Charlene sketched this building in  Bangor hidden
behind the trees. Great sketch with great values.

Nancy sketched this building in Bangor. The trees
add perspective and the values on the trees create
lots of interest. Great job, Nancy!

Nancy sketched this scene by the river. The trees
are drawn with such interesting lines. This would
make a great painting, Nancy.

Priscilla sketched this building in Bangor.  Her line quality is fine and
it creates a soft effect. Very interesting, Priscilla

Priscilla painted this scene using watercolor. The perfect
summer seat. Great composition.

Priscilla painted this rooster using watercolor. This bird
has attitude. Very expressive. 

Sheila painted this little boy and his dog using watercolor.
This painting is still in progress. Fabulous job, Sheila!


Sue sketched this downtown scene of the
Bangor Savings Bank and clock.


Gloria painted this train using acrylics. The perspective is
wonderful in this painting.  Gloria, can't wait to see
the finished painting. Great Job,
