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)

Terrie working on her painting

Welcome Patsy!

Nancy painted this scene of Acadia using oils. The lights and darks are so beautiful. The shadows in the road
are lovely as will as the trees. Nancy you are the Queen of Light and Shadows! Fabulous job!

Gigi painted this painting of Jazz famous Miles Davis. Gigi is very expressive and captures the  movement
and excitement in her paintings. You can even see the sweat dripping from his brow! Wonderful Gigi!

Gigi painted this floral using acrylics. Her use of acrylics is unique in that she uses them like she was
painting in waterccolor. Hence she has lots of variations of color. Great job, Gigi!

Patsy painted this still-life using acrylics. Her colorful approach is joyous to
see. The cool neutral background really sets of this painting. Wonderful, Patsy!

Sue painted this using acrylics. She titled the painting" Glenice's Daliahs"
Her goal was to paint loosely.
