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)

Holding the Fort Down

Hi to my artist friends. I want to tell you that there is painting on Thursdays at the Senior Center. I know that many commitments get in the way but I want you to know that we are thinking of you and sincerely hope you return to our painting group.We miss you all!
This Thursday there were just two of us....Gigi and myself...hardly enough to take the time to write a blog but I am determined to continue.
Gigi painted this scene using acrylics. The tilted angles of the house suggest that it is an old Maine house and is a bit weathered. The flowers in the foreground are warm and invites the viewer into the painting. Fabulous Gigi!


Sue finished this acrylic painting from last week.
This painting is from the week before and is Gigi's. Love the loose style that she has as well
 as the colorful depiction of the flowers. Fabulous Gigi

Sue started this acrylic painting of Corea and was having some issues with the reflections, and the coolness of the rocks.

Nancy painted this beautiful bouquet using oils. The colors and deep and inviting. The shadows are soft and beautiful.The light is strong and reflective. This is Fantastic, Nancy!
I just might have to try my hand at this painting.

The tools of the trade


Sheila painted this interior scene using watercolor. This painting is still in progress.....I love it so far, Sheila!

Sheila busy at work

Sheila painted this scene of a waterfall using watercolors. She is still working on this piece which has lots of interesting
things happening. The rocks are beautiful. Keep up the great work, SheilaA!
