After I began taking classes in art, I began to hear about other groups
that socialize through their art and promote art in the community.
I stumbled into a community center “open-studio” group one Monday
afternoon, and decided I might try the group painting time.
Painting, as many hobbies, can be isolating and sometimes hard to motivate
oneself to continue. My classes help me keep trying new techniques, but setting
aside time is another problem to conquer. The open-studio helps the timing and breaks the isolation. Inspiration and critiques from the others is a tremendous help.
This was my first time back since mid-November, so I had a lot of catching up to do.
Plus, it was a celebration for one special artist who turned 93 years old last week and
thought she could let it “slip-by”. She is a prolific watercolorist and continues to sell her
work in Michigan.
Another artist in the group has finally joined the computer generation, so she had a great time showing pictures on her new IPAD, and learning a few tricks from some of the other APPLE aficionados in the group.
This is an example for this weeks class subject:
“affects of
