What to talk about today? Had a wonderful meet up with my art club last
weekend - small group yet always so much fun and quite an adventure for me because
they live about an hour away. We all met
in a class when I first started getting serious about painting and have been
meeting up almost monthly and taking a few classes together along the way. It's fantastic hanging out with art-peers who
are supportive, informative and well heck - fun to be with. Our bond is art -- the rest of our lives
couldn't be more different, but we share equally in life's challenges and delights!
With sadness in my heart, I hate to say that the
place where we met is closing down - displacing many art students, several
working artist studios, and a lively gallery.
For some reason there aren't many classes in this area (despite being
just outside of DC), so that's why I traveled so far to get into a class after
work. It is truly unfortunate as it feels like family - along
with it goes the Petite Perspectives show that I was so looking forward to with
my fancy frames and all.
I'm sure there will be another day - at least this gives me more time to work out what to paint for those frames. . . . Meanwhile, I really wanted
to finish the orange series, so here' what I have for you. The
background was giving me a fist-fight so I pulled out the artistic
license card and did it my way! Ha ha. Happy with the way it turned out even if it is a bit different than "the plan." Again, it's hard to pass up a wonderful photo like this.
