Yesterday's critique was well attended and, as always, inspirational. With such a diversity of styles and media, there is always a surprise. We welcomed back a couple of folks who haven't been around for a while, and were interested to find out what they have been up to, artistically. Dave's figure on Yupo, was a pleasant surprise., as was George's flute player (in progress). Linda displayed her lovely alcohol ink painting that we had previously suggested she crop...but we decided we really preferred the original orientation without cropping. Confusion reigns! Bonnie's abstract was a delightful little gem, appearing to float almost out of the frame! Jackie brought some potential Christmas cards that she designed, along with a poem she wrote, and Don shared one of his first paintings which we all agreed was surprisingly well done. Especially for an early attempt. Lee's encaustic, it turns out, might be more effective if hung on an angle. And, last but not least, Bill shared his latest innovation...people in abstract...which is featured at the top of this post.
