We're Back!

We resumed our Art at the Center Painting Group on Wednesday, November 7, 2014, and we now meet the first, second, and third Wednesdays of each month, from 9AM - Noon.

Come back and visit often to see what we're up to.  We'll be posting photos from our painting sessions.

Better yet, stop in and join us.  Just bring your own supplies and a cover for your work area (no solvents, please).

We look forward to seeing you!

Another successful season of painting comes to an end...

To end a really fabulous season appropriately, Dave Zeih came and modeled for our group's Spring Finale.  Interspersed with lots of drawing and painting, we shared a few stories and had a couple of laughs as we ended this year's season of Art at the Center.  Seven of us painted, and then most of us went to Kelly's Cafe for Crepes.  A perfect way to end a great season!  We're now looking forward to plein air season, beginning next month, and then we'll be back here next Fall for more Art at the Center.

Nearing the finish point...

As we near the end of our season painting together, we have found a comfortable place to be with one another as we paint.  As you can see, this is a very focused group.

One of those days...

It was truly one of those days!  I was late and forgot my camera.  Linda graciously offered to take the photos but, unfortunately, her camera battery died in the middle of shooting.  Nonetheless, it was a good painting session and she ended up with some nice photos.  Thanks, Linda!  You are today's hero!

We were so fortunate to have a break in the weather just in time for our painting group.  Two days earlier, we were all snowed in...but, Mother Nature smiled upon us this day.  It was good to be able to get together to paint and inspire one another.
