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)

Back in the Swing of Things

Yes, we are back in the swing of things....painting on Thursday afternoons. Great paintings were accomplished.
Gail painted these autumn leaves using colored pencils. The beautiful colors
make for a bright and interesting composition. Great Job Gail!

Rita painted this Italian village using pastels. The colorful rendition of this coastal town is colorful and fun.
Makes you want to go there!!! Wonderful Rita!

Patsy painted this summer scene using acrylics. The basic passage is completed and she will be adding
more layers. Great start, Patsy!

Terrie painted this scene of Toddy Pond using acrylics. Her use of color and glazes helped her achieve
this beautiful effect. Love this one Terrie!

Sheila painted this scene of the walkway on the Brewer side of the Penobscot River. She is using
watercolor to bring this scene to life. The rocks and the trees are rendered with care and show
her skills with watercolor. Great Job, Sheila!

Sheila is in the preliminary stages of this painting.  She is using watercolor  to paint this scene.
Great so far, Sheila!

Nancy painted this scene of the Carriage Path in Acadia. She is using oils to capture the beauty of this scene.
Her use of shadow and light is exceptional. Fabulous job Nancy!
