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)

The trio does it again

This week at plein air painting we had a small group. Sue went out and painted in the park across the street and Gigi and Linda stayed in the Senior Center to finish some projects.
  Here are the results.
Linda painted this fall leaf on the evergreen. She used pastels to
complete this little beauty. Great values in this paining and the point of interest
is very clear. Beautiful Linda!

Linda painted this ocean scene using pastels. The foggy atmosphere and the rocks makes the piece look hazy. The
water is choppy and has lots of movement. Beautiful job, Linda!

Gigi brought in these adorable bird houses and she painted them in acrylics....Great job Gigi!

The patriotic colors of these bird houses will make a great garden addition to Gigi's back yard.

The rough seas and the colorful sky makes this painting sing. Gigi painted this using pastels. Love the motion in the
water and the clouds. Fabulous, Gigi!

Even the backside of these bird houses are great. Thanks Gigi for bring them in.
Love them!

Gigi painted this night scene using pastels. The barn is reflected in light from the
outside light. The dark doors are inviting and mysterious.  Gigi's use of color
and her hand made paper gives the piece a textural element. Fabulous Gigi!

Linda painted this piece of granite using pastels. The painting is in progress.
Can't wait to see the finished product!

The critique line up.

Linda organizes her pastels

Gigi packs up her things after the painting session.
