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)

Art and Wine

Art mixes with wine....and we liked it!  Charlene had made some Reisling wine and brought a bottle for us to sample. It was sooooo good. We started the session with a glass and ended the critique with a glass of wine.
With our creative juices flowing we meet the artistic challenge as you will see in the photos in this post.
Gloria and Charlene taste the wine

Charlene's bottles of Reisling...mmmmm yummy!

Gloria worked on her painting from last week. She is
using pastels to paint this scene. The building is
looking wonderful, Gloria. Great job.

Charlene finished this pastel painting of wine bottles
on the window sill. Great composition and the values
she adjusted are now perfect. Fabulous, Charlene

Michelle painted this sheep using pastels. The atmosphere
adds to the quietness of the painting and the lines are
interesting in the composition. Fabulous, Michelle

Michelle painted this mid west landscape using pastels.
The contrast of the colors are complimentary and pleasing to
the eye. Great job, Michelle

carol painted this ocean scene using acrylics. There is lots of
wave action...the viewer almost feels like they will get splashed.
This is Carol's Christmas Card....Fabulous!

Linda did a value study that turned into this very creative
piece. She used pencils to draw this....sing and frame Linda.
Beautiful!

Charlene painted this little gem using pastels. The scene is a house
tucked into the hillside on Monhegan. The expectation of the view
of what is over the hill creates an excitement in this painting.
Great Job, Charlene

Sue worked on this oil again this week.  With just a few more tweaks
it just might be done.

Sue started another oil painting. This is a scene of Lubec
