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)

Busy Time

Spring is here and it is a very busy time. We had a small group today however we made great strides.
  I love the creativity that came through and I think you will like it also.

Just want to ask everyone to keep Gloria in your prayers.

Here are our masterpieces for this week.
Priscilla painted this sociological statement piece using acrylics. This is the invisible woman with
words and sentences of age discrimination. Priscilla ran the triathlon and heard these words spoken
She decided to paint this piece using the words and sentences all around the figure.

This is a close up of part of the painting so you could see the words. 

Another close up so you can see the words. This is a powerful piece and Priscilla has done it justice.
As a triathlete herself, she has experienced these words.
Fabulous, Priscilla! I love it!

Sue painted this unlucky canoeist using acrylics. Her attempt to have the man looking like he is falling
was a hurdle that Sue managed to clear.

Sheila started this painting today and will be bringing it in so we can see the finished product. She used watercolor and the
colors are vivid and vibrant in places and soft in others. Great Job Sheila!

Nancy is painting a series of her glass coffee table. She is using oils and the composition is so wonderful and interesting.
She is painting the plants. and the pt on the left is a gorgeous color. Nancy, can't wait to see this finished...and we
want to see the whole series. Fabulous so far!

Sue started this painting of two pairs and some flowers. This painting is in progress.
