Hello "Tuesdays at Creightoners" and other interested parties…
Eight of us met and shared the latest in news and art:
- Mary and Jesse entered the Watercolor Artists of Sonoma County 20th Annual Watercolor Exhibition. Mary showed her ship and Jesse her corner on Mission Street. Both were acknowledged!
- Pam is arranging a visit to the California Academy of Sciences in November. More info soon.
- Sue is checking about a visit to the Asian Art Museum sometime in January.
- There was a special on James McNeill Whistler on PBS and you may find it on “on demand” or on the PBS website: The Case for Beauty
We shared our #6, Emphasize Verticals, and, as usual the images were intriguing and varied. Sue was working with nudes, Avelina added another piece to her grandmother series as well as some beautiful calla lilies and some very free dancers in grass. Pam did glowing aspens and she scraped the trunks out of the background! She also did a view from her window and was working with the quality of light. We gave her feedback on a water piece she was working on. Carmen did biking shirts in a closet that were bright and the lettering on the shirts set up a contrasting rhythm. Shirley did bold calligraphy and marks after the visit to the Harrison Collection. Marjorie did trees with bold outlines and she preferred it upside down. Mary did a tower with collage in three layers. We thought it was whimsical and she wasn’t too fond of it. Joanie did aspens, too.
Next week is #14, Let a Motif Stand Alone, pgs 57 & 59.
Hope to see you there!
Joanie and Shirley
