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)

Back to School and back to creative projects

Guess who painted so quickly we couldn't keep up with her??? Yes, Gigi does it again. She consistently produces these beautiful paintings at a remarkable rate...Very difficult to keep up with her!
Carol worked on several paintings and concentrated on her Christmas card.....planning early keeps the printer happy!



Gigi painted this scene on pastel paper that she made! Her strokes  are beautiful and she
created this colorful summer scene. Fabulous, Gigi!

Gigi painted this pastel on her hand prepared paper. The strokes of the underpainting show
thru and give the painting lots of interest. The composition of these painting is
wonderful. Another fabulous painting by Gigi!

Gigi painted this ocean scene using pastels. The colors are exciting and the movement of the
water captures the viewer. Beautiful!

Carol painted this sailing scene using pastels. Her dark, quick strokes bring
movement to the water. The sense of the wind is felt by the full sails.
Who will win the race?   Great composition and color.Beautiful!!!!

Carol painted this lobster man trying to get the tree home....I think this is a keeper for
your christmas card!   Nice color and values.

Sue did some sketches of  Patty Murphy's Pub

Looking up is the skyline of Bangor captured by Sue

The Reverend Noble Pub never looked so good...Sue sketched this in preparation
for "Paint Banor Day"

Gigi working hard!

Carol painting with pastels

Carol-
This could by her christmas card!

Carol adding the finishing touches.


Gigi painted this rushing water using pastels on the paper she prepared. Love the stokes she used for the
rushing water. Very active and interesting. Another beauty by Gigi!
