Happy Valentines Day

Happy Valentines Day to all the artist that read this blog....The art room was a buzzing with painting ideas, today.

We missed Sheila...hope our feeling better soon. Barbara Malloney has moved to The Woodlands in Brewer and hopefully we will see her soon. Liz, Gigi and Priscilla could not make it but hope to see you both on this Thursday.

Sue painted this floral as a tribute to Renoir  using acrylics; This
painting is in progress

Charlene pained this summer scene of Monhegan using watercolor.
The painting already has a strong focal point as the path draws the
viewer into the painting. Beautiful Job. Charlene.

Nancy painted this scene using pastels. Again a strong composition.
with the water drawing the eye into the sunlit area. The shadows
are interesting shapes and the water is beautifully reflective of the
sky. Fabulous, Nancy!

Charlene painted this pastoral scene using oils. She added the
cow to the scene and will be adding one more animal to
draw the eve into the painting. This painting is serene and
peaceful...beautiful Charlene!

Michelle painted this scene through the trees using pastels. The
soft color of the sky is a great contrast to the trees. The tonal quality
of this painting is beautiful. A triadic use of color. Beautiful, Michelle!

Michelle painted this scene of Prince Edward Island. The water is
a wonderful contrast of texture to the rolling hills in the distance. The beautiful shadows in the
dunes makes for another value in the painting. Great Job. Michelle.

Rita painted this floral some time ago using pastels. The
Floral painting is inviting and the colors are beautiful.
Nice job, Rita.

Rita painted this scene of Manna, using pastels. This painting
is in progress and is looking great. The interesting composition
makes this little painting a gem. Can't wait to see the finished
painting. Great job. Rita!

Terrie painted this harbor scene using acrylics. The painting
is in progress. The composition is strong and with the colors
she will be adding to it will make this painting glow.
Great Job, Terrie!

Terrie painted this scene using acrylics. The composition
is strong and the shadows on the chair is very nice. She will
be lightening the chair where the sunlight hits which
will result in a beautifully done painting. Great Job, Terrie

Carol painted this scene using watercolors. The river draws the
eye through the painting. The sky is beautiful with the pink accents.
Great Job, Carol.

Carol painted this floral using watercolors. The stray marks of
pink are beautiful and create a movement within the painting.
Great job Carol!

Carol painted this interior scene using oils. The light in the painting draws
the viewer into the painting. The warm color interior wall is
inviting...makes you want to sit down right there. Fabulous, Carol!
