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)

Thru Snow, Rain and Sleet...

The first snow fall of the year arrived today and I must say, it did not stifle anybody's creative ability in this group!  We forged on to create some amazing art.
Boxes of Pastels...tools of the trade

Sheila and Charlene...open your eyes Charlene!

Barbara working on her painting

Hi Sheila

Rita, Charlene and Linda discuss Linda's pastel

Linda painted this scene off her own deck. The shadows
are very interesting with the dappled light on the floor.
Beautiful painting, Linda











Charlene painted this pastel of wine bottles in the window . Thee
composition is interesting and the values are beautiful.
Fabulous painting, Charlene!


Sue painted this scene of Asticou Gardens in Northeast Harbor
using oils. Originally painted plein air but finished today in the
studio.

Rita finished this painting of Eastport using pastels
The glimpse out the window provides loads of
interest to this painting. The complimentary colors
used beautiful. Fabulous Rita!

Michelle painted this adorable scene using
pastels. The Trick or Treater with his fireman's
outfit evokes a feeling of wonder in this
painting. Wonderful job Michelle!





Gloria is working this painting using pastels. She captured this old
building in Eastport using great values. Fabulous Gloria.
The painting is in progress



Barbara captured this happy little dog and a
butterfly using watercolors. The mood in this
painting can be seen and felt by the viewer.
Wonderful Painting Barbara!






Barbara painted this beautiful watercolor. The use of
negative space is wonderful and lets the viewer fill in
the space. Such a cheery painting for such a rainy day.
Fabulous Barbara!
