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)

Studio painting

Today we painted inside because of blustery winds and cool temperatures. During our session we had some visitors....our Rita with Janet St. John, the owner of the Blue Heron.
Lots of different paintings today, from landscapes to figurative.

Charlene painted this beautiful Monhegan scene. The stormy sky
adds drama to this fabulous pastel. Wonderful Charlene!

Nancy painted this colorful fall landscape using pastels. The
soft edges and the fall colors make for a beautiful
Maine scene. Great job Nancy!

Carol used watercolor to create this beauty. Her use of
watercolor with the looseness of stroke made a beautiful
and colorful composition. Beautiful Carol!

Carol painted this floral using watercolors. The
softness and the fence shadows created a mood
that is very pleasing. Great job Carol.

Carol painted this whimsical painting using watercolors. The

Beautiful job carol.

Liz painted the dancing couple using Acrylics. The movement
in the painting is fun and exciting. The painting is in progress.
Fabulous Liz!

Michelle painted this pastel of a boat on Prince
Edward Island. The colors are beautiful in this simple but
interesting composition. The shadows are complex and
add an element of mystery. Beautiful Michelle!
