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)

Temporary Digs

Yes, just when we thought we were all settled….we are not. Scheduling conflicts within the Senior Center has uprooted and transferred to the Dining Room. It was a squeeze but we made do.
We will get out room back next semester.

The group managed to create some wonderful art.
Terrie painted this sheep using acrylics. The fir is incredible and very difficult to do. Terrie, This is a
little gem!

Tuscany fields painted by Terrie using Acrylics. I an feel the golden light on the land and the rolling hills….now
I really want to go there!!! Beautiful job, Terrie. The mountains in the background are beautiful.

Terrie captured this radish using acrylics…The colors are fabulous. and the background gives life to this lowly radish.
Fabulous!

Terrie trying to avoid my camera  Got cha!!!

Sheila concentrating on her watercolor

This is the perfect color!!! Carol uses her pastels today

Gigi painting in the corner….looking good Gigi!

Priscilla and Michelle discuss paintings

Rita packs up her pastels.

Michelle painted this backlit tree using pastels. The orange sky is a great compliment
to the dark blue tree. The light coming in on the lower right side gives the viewer
a place to enter the painting; Lovely, Michelle.. 
Priscilla is into painting shoes…an they are really cute! She is using acrylics
and this is the third in a series. Love the colors, Priscilla.

This is the photo of the series by Priscilla. I love the fact that she painted 3 different kinds of shoes. 

Priscilla painted this girl having a facial, and used acrylics to create this fun loving masterpiece. The folds in the
girls cape capture the movement in the fabric. This contemporary piece just makes me smile !! Wonderful job, Priscilla!

Sue painted these posts of sweet peas using acrylics. This painting is in progress.

This adorable little girl was painted by Sheila using watercolors. She captured this little girl in the
act of painting. Love this, Sheila! wonderful figure painting.

Gigi painted this scene using acrylics. She is part way through and still has the foreground to paint. I know I am going
to love it. The people add that bit of humanity and the square is alive. Great job, Gigi!

Wine Country, Italy. Carol painted this scene using pastels. The warmth in the foreground draws the viewer into
the painting. Yet the houses in the background stand solid and anchor the painting.
Fabulous, Carol!

Rita completed her painting from last week using pastels. The ladies of Italy sitting Great Composition, Rita.
