Lee's imaginary pastel landscape.
Late arrivals, Jackie and Don, pleasantly surprised the rest of us.  The morning seemed to bring out the lighter side in all of us and there was a lot of good-natured bantering.  As we viewed each other's work, some constructive suggestions were made that were extremely helpful.  Sometimes we're just too close to our own artwork to see what needs to be done.  Enjoy these last days of summer and please remember we do not meet next week.  Our next painting session will be Wednesday, October 4.    Hope to see you then.

These beautiful works were viewed and critiqued by our group last Monday.  It is always fascinating to see the unique way in which each of us choose to express ourselves.  From subject matter to choice of medium to choice of style, diversity reigns!  And, that is what makes this such a delightful and rewarding experience, and something to look forward to each month.

 A smaller than usual group today, but still a lot of painting was accomplished...along with a fair amount of visiting.  Some of our folks are out of town, and some are probably out golfing while they still have a chance!  But, as the weather cools, our group will expand.  In the meantime, it was nice to have Gerri back with us after several months away.  Lee was also here, but behind the camera.  Please check back next week to see what we're up to!
