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)

Yikes, its November!

Today is the first day of November....where did the fall go??? This week the art group was anxious to get started and we had less time since the center was closing early.
We miss Barbara Mallonee...that bronchitis is hard to get rid of. Hope you get well soon.

These are the wonderful painting that were created this afternoon.
Gigi painted this organ grinder and his little monkey, using
oils. Her painting has a happy mood and is very expressive.
Her painting has lots of texture that create the folds in the
clothing. Fabulous Gigi!

Sheila painted this couple using acrylics. She is developing
the shapes with in the portrait. Great start, Sheila.

Charlene drew this scene using pencil. Her drawing is on an
angle that creates interest. Wonderful Charlene!

Sue painted this Monhegan scene using oils. Just a few
more tweeks and it will be compete.

Michelle painted this beautiful Island scene using pastels. Michelle's
use of various colors in the water made the painting very interesting,
and expressive.  Fabulous Michelle!

Linda painted this scene using pastels. The horizontals and
verticals in this painting make for a very interesting composition.
This is going to be a real beauty.....Great job, Linda

Rita created this pastel with a wonderful composition!
The colors are bright and vivid. Rita is not quite finished
with this but it will be frame worthy when she completes it. Wonderful Rita!
