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)

At the Center

We painted inside today because of the weather. Even though there were just a few of us the paintings are wonderful.
Sheila painted this old house  using watercolor. The blending of the colors in the foreground are beautiful. Sheila rendered a beautiful composition electing to not put in the whole roof. This is a masterpiece, Sheila!

Sheila painted this still-life of tomatoes and canning jars using watercolors. The colorful pallet makes for
a pleasing composition. Lovely job on the jars, Sheila.  I love this painting. Great job Sheila!

Sheila painted this plain-air in Belfast. The colors of the water are beautiful. Her depiction of the lobster boat and it's simple shapes is the mainstay of this painting. Wonderful job, Sheila!

Nancy worked on her painting from last week. This acrylic is wonderfully rendered. The composite is inviting and
interesting. Nancy's ability to make a scene appear serene is unique. The water is beautiful!
This painting is still under construction. Love it, Nancy!

Sue started this acrylic painting plain-air and is finishing it inside.  The Littlefield Gardens at the University of Maing
is a unique and inspiring place.
