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)

Winter Painting



I go away and look at the art that was created. And while I was on vacation I realized that
I wanted to paint even more…plain air!( as long as I'm on a warm beach)




Carol painted this Italian coast scene using oils. The little buildings in various colors add lots of interest to
these sweet painting. Great values especially on the rocks.  Fabulous, Carol!

Charlene painted this little bird using oils. She utilized the lack of color and the infusion of values to make here point.
The darks are critical to this successful painting. The touch of red for the berries is unexpected and adds to the
interest of this painting. Great composition. Gorgeous Charlene!

I(Sue) painted this scene( "The joggers) on Indian Rocks Beach using acrylics….and it was a windy day. As you can see the
paint literally dried  on the brush before it touched the canvas resulting in strange looking sand.

I (Sue) painted this scene while sitting on the Beach. The acrylics were fighting me the whole way. I did managed to
get the scene painted and even met another artist from Illinois. She was curious and wanted to see my painting. We had
a great talk.
