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)

Out and About

The Plein Air Thursday group has gotten together to paint on Thursdays. This week we had a small group but a very productive one.
Sheila painted this happy sunflower using watercolor. The colors are brilliant and exciting
which makes for a very successful painting. Beautiful, Sheila!

Sheila painted these petunias using watercolors. Her colors are just beautiful and vibrant. Love it, Sheila!

Rita painted this Monhegan scene using pastels. The perspective is very interesting and the composition
is balanced. Her use of beautiful colors finishes off this lovely piece. Great job, Rita!

Nancy worked on this oil painting of a sunlit stream. The stream leads the viewer into the painting and brings you
all the way back to the lone tree. Exceptional, Nancy!

Liz painted this Air Stream camper using acrylics while in Susan Toby White's workshop. Her use of
color is exciting and vibrant. The shiny surface of the camper is well done.
Fabulous, Liz!

Liz painted this claw foot tub using acrylics. The composition is unique and the partial tub
draws the viewer into the painting. Beautiful, Liz
Sue painted this Searsport scene using acrylics. She painted plan air at the Susan Toby White
workshop.
Sue painted this woodland scene using acrylics. She painted this plein air at the
Susan Toby White workshop

Liz painted these two houses in Bayside plain air. The color and detail of the buildings
make for a beautiful painting. The shadows is nicely placed so that it draws the views eye
into the painting. Great job,Liz!
