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)

Plein Air Painting in Hancock

This Thursday the group went to Gail's cottage in Hancock. It was a beautiful day for painting outside, light breeze and in the high 70's. The cottage is right on the water overlooking Young's cove.
We scouted the area and then set up our easels and painted until lunch. We ate lunch on the screened in porch with the sound of the tide lapping against the rocks.
Thanks Gail, for a wonderful time.
Here are some of the paintings that we did.
P.S. Priscilla you escaped before I got a photo of your painting. So Sorry Priscilla.

Carol split the paper in two and did two scenes using

enticing. Great job Terri!
