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)

Heres to the Hale and Hardy

We may be just a few of us this week but we were ready to paint up a storm.!
Gigi took on Monet's garden with flair and abandonment. Her loose strokes and and use of
color made for a strong watercolor painting.  Monet would be proud!

Gigi painted this Monet scene using watercolor. The water is exceptionally beautiful and
her use of color and strokes completes this fabulous painting.

Gigi painted this scene on location at Lemoine. Her composition is fresh and interesting. Her
brush strokes create a fun playful feeling in this seaside scene. Fabulous, Gigi!

Gigi painted this rushing stream using watercolor and pastels. Her ability to simplify
the shapes is exciting and makes this composition great. Its' a beauty, Gigi!

This scene was painted by Gigi using watercolor on Deer Island. Using just a few colors
to create her composition, Gigi added a bit of red to this painting which made it sing!


This is a plein air study by Sue. She painted the neighbor's dock using acrylics. The shadows and reflections were
her method to create the water in this lakeside scene.

Sue painted this Tug while standing on the Belfast dock. This acrylic painting is in progress.


Gigi and daughter Virginia pack up her mat cutter.
