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)

Between Snow Storms

As the wintery weather pounds the area with snow the Plein Air Thursday group continued to a paint.
Here are the results.
Rita is in the process of painting this Italian street scene using pastels. She has a great start on this
blocking in all the main parts. The colorful buildings create a sense of depth . Can't wait to
see the finished painting! Beautifully done, Rita.

Nancy is in the process of painting this beautiful winter scene. The shadows on the snow are
rendered with color and precision. The light on the bank draws the eye to the back of the
painting and around again. Fabulous, Nancy!

Patsy is painting strawberries using acrylic. The background is colorful but does not distract from the subject.
This painting is a copy of a Renoir. Looks great, Patsy. Can't wait to see the finished paining.

Sheila did this sketch using graphite. Her perportions are good  and the next thing will be shading.
Great job, Sheila!
